I recently stayed at MSS over the 4th of July weekend. I usually stay at The Cal, but they were sold out on the 3rd so I couldn't stay 4 continuous nights there. So I stayed Friday and Saturday night at The Cal and was going to stay with a friend the remainder of my trip. Since MSS is connected to The Cal and I occasionally stay and play there, I decided to go and play some roulette. As I was playing, I was chatting with the dealer and told her about the room situation. She then contacted the pit boss, Paul. He then contacted the shift manager, Chip. Within 15 minutes I had a room for the next 2 nights... That was awesome! I can't say enough about the professionalism of the staff there. I've stayed on the strip before and while yes, the rooms are much nicer depending on where you stay... most of my hours are not spent in the room sitting on a couch or trying to decide which bathroom to use. I'd rather spend my money on entertainment, food, or gambling!
I usually like to grab a burger from Triple 7 at least once while I'm there. I like their burgers and onion rings. I also like to sit at the sushi bar and chit chat with Sam. Get to know him and talk to him... nice guy. I tend not to eat at the buffet. It does have a nice selection and for the most part it's pretty good. When I do go, I go for breakfast.
