| - She got le-e-e-gs, she knows how to use it. I'm talking about the scantily clad waitresses in the gambling area. They stick out especially in this well lighted, colorful casino south of the strip. Like most casinos, most of the waitresses are beautiful, and can really enhance even an ugly man's gambling experience. At least there is beauty while losing money. Obviously, the layout is such that you are tempted to gamble if you eat, sleep, or be entertained there. After all, your loss is the house's gain, wherever you are in Vegas.
We stayed here on a work conference. Being off the strip is great and horrible. if you're like me, the strip is OK, but it's old hat because I've been visiting relatives here monthly for about 4 years. You can enjoy a meal and some entertainment by old pop music and comedic artists, hang out at the bar, go watch a movie, go bowling, or people watch.
Then turn in to your pretty quiet, nice rooms with ironing board, flat screen TV, loveseat, and table. They have no bedspread - yay! Most bedspreads even in the fanciest hotels have "body fluids" residue on them. Gag but not here. The bathroom has willow and green tea something...I guess it was shampoo, but it looked like tea. Definitely a chick ordered those. There is a hair dryer and adjustable climate controls, This room was be fine for most single travelers or couples. I like that they make you show your room key as you approach the elevators. They also have security cameras on every floor.
If you're a young person or couple, and you want some touristy action, this place sucks. Once you step outside, there is nothing. If you want to watch and be watched, you are better off staying at the strip at double the price as this room I'm in. There is a shuttle that goes to the strip, though.
They charge $13 a day for internet access. Too pricey in my opinion, so I am taking off a half star for that; I also am taking off a half star because you have to walk so far through the casino and by so many smokers to get into the hotel section.
We decided not to eat here, but they have a few places to eat, including a coffee shop and a buffet. We decided to eat at the Italian place across the street. A co worker says the pool is pretty cool. There is also a gift shop and snack bar near the elevator. Lots of people were buying liquor - maybe the gambling isn't so good here? It's all just okay - a decent hotel if you mainly want to gamble and sleep. So why 4 stars? At the $39 group room rate for the middle of the week in May, even divey hotels near the strip can't touch this price. (And I wouldn't touch some of those divey motels without gloves.)
