| - My fiancée and I decided to make a last minute trip to Vegas for my birthday weekend and were most pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We paid only $40/night for this place on priceline.com as we weren't planning to do much in the hotel but sleep. However, when we arrived, we found they had given us an upgrade for staying two nights! Our room was very clean, quiet, and spacious with a nice little kitchenette, two TVs, a stereo, a whirlpool bath, and even a nice couch with a pull-out bed.
On top of all that, it is only a few blocks from the strip and has a beautiful atmosphere, three pools (one heated), and an outdoor spa. They apparently have a shuttle service, but we drove, so we didn't use this.
We visited the concierge on Saturday to get some advice. He was very friendly and helpful, but mostly recommended things that were completely out of our price range. Still, he gave us some great ideas, like how to save on shows from smartervegas.com and gave us lots of coupons and VIP passes.
The only thing that we found weird is that the TV doesn't have many channels and there is no pay-per-view option. When we got in late after a long drive on Friday, my fiancée and I just wanted to chill in the room a little bit and watch a movie to unwind before falling asleep. We called the front desk and they told us there was a RedBox at the Walgreen's next door, but we had already changed out of our clothes. They do have DVD players though, so next time we'll just have to bring something with us or stop at the RedBox before pulling up to the hotel.
