| - My farewell to Bill's.
Knowing this place will close in Feb., I wanted to take everything in one last time. My wife and I stayed here for the 3rd time in a row just last week.
Again check-in was fast - no lines and this was at 730p on a Saturday.
Room was nice and clean.
The elevators are still super slow, which I hope they fix when they redo the place.
All the people working were nice as always.
This time we stayed for 4 nights and I figured it would be a higher rate than normal due to the rodeo thing, the fight and the Country Music Awards all going on while we were there. We booked our room back in Aug., when we first got our flights set up. The rates through their website was still 69 for Saturday and 35 for each night after. Again SUPER cheap for easy access to other hotels on strip and it does not take forever and a day to get from your room down to the strip like the larger casinos.
I some of the info about the closing from reading Vegas Chatter, but there was some other info I got from the dealers I spoke to. They did say that all your Bill's comp points will eventually turn into Total Rewards. Since they have not even picked a name for the new hotel and I hear the renovation will take over a year, who knows when everything will change over. I did know they were going to gut the place and add a roof top pool for a day/night club like most of the other resorts have. We are over 30, so most likely my wife and I will not be checking that out. And needless to say once the change takes place there will not be $35 rooms anymore. But, what I didn't know was none of the dealers or any of the workers for that matter will have a job at the new place. The new owners will be bringing all their own people. I found this out on out second day and ever since then, I tipped double what I normally do for drinks and even dealers. I wanted to give back just a little from all the great service we received from everyone the last 3 years. I did hear that Drai's will be taking over the place and turn into a mini-Cosmo. Don't get me wrong, we will stop in and check it out when it opens back up, but it just wont be the same ever. I just want to say thank you to everyone working there now and who has worked there in the past to make our stay so great. I wish you would be around a little while longer, but change is good. I just feel bad fr all the workers. I figured they could just get a dealer job at another resort, but one dealer told me that there are so many people dealing now, that most casinos have waiting lists now to even apply. With my parents living in Vegas, I know how hard it is right now to get a decent job in that city.
We wish everyone well there at Bill's and want to thank you again for all the fun times.
