The first time I ever stayed at Fitzgerald's was by chance or circumstance. I was in town, Downtown Las Vegas that is, and the price was right. Extremely right. I have stayed there numerous times since. If you have to be downtown, it's not that bad.
I am not going to polish a turd here. It is an older Las Vegas hotel. I just ain't to proud to beg. The rooms are like any other downtown hotel, save the Golden Nugget.
The bar on the second floor of the casino is f'n great. $1 or maybe now $2 beers. Blue Moon last time I was there. The VUE bar it is called. There is a great balcony where you watch all the dumb s#!% that happens on Fremont Street. Ziplines and such like that.
They also have a "Piece of the Blarney Stone" for you to kiss when you visit the players club area. Not sure about that one.
So at the end of the day, I say "Come to Fitzgerald's. It's not that bad."
Last time I was there, I stayed in a suite. It had a hot tub and some wrap around windows. Pretty nice room and super cheap beers and stuff in the casino. I was ok with it. The room did however manage to have dead artificial plants. Which I think is either somehow amazing or just really janky.
