Hooters hotel and casino is a serviceable place very near the LV strip. Located behind the Tropicana and across from the driveway for the MGM Grand means that you can access those properties pretty quickly. However, I think one can do better for an off-strip room.
The casino is clean and well staffed and the band was very good. Check-in was problematic on a Friday evening because of the noise level. Overall try Imperial Palace for a better experience. That's right, IP (or the Quad as it is now called) is a better experience. 'Nuf said.
