I found the hotel itself really nice, and all the staff were great. Apparently all the rooms have fridges now too, which is super convenient. The location is perfect, being right in the middle of the strip. Miracle mile shops attached to the casino was another bonus. However, the pool area was a huge disappointment. If you like laying around a concrete parking lot this might be your style. Not sure if they're just too cheap to landscape or add a few palm trees, but its pretty pathetic. I've been to a lot cheaper hotels that have absolutely beautiful pool areas. This is probably the worst I've seen.
