| - Wow, so I'm not even the first to review this place. Just got back from four days in Henderson / Vegas and I got a room here that was a comp, so I have no clue how much it even costs, but here is the low-down. Its obviously a bargain type hotel/ casino. They do have a $1.00 breakfast to bring people in, and its marginal, but as soon as you walk in the doors of the hotel/casino, you instantly get that tobacco smell that seems to linger until you get in your non-smoking room, provided thats where you are. The run down elevators are a microcosm to what kind of place it is, but the rooms are clean and the air works so once inside, its a decent and roomy place. Surprising was the bed I had. Actually a comfortable mattress, so the decent black-out curtains allowed me to sleep in a bit. i can't comment on the gambling there since I don't gamble, but overall, my experience was decent. I advise you to stay away from the lunch buffet. Bland food, orange colored water they pass off as orange juice, and our waitress seemed like she couldn't wait to get home. Can you blame her?
I've always thought, if you want to know how the food is, look around at the people eating it. After looking at the people eating it, I wanted to get the holy H out of there. Then again, that goes for most of the city anyway. I hate Vegas. I only went for a reunion of friends/family. Oh, did I mention it was 104 just about everyday? Ok, now I'm just bitching for the sake of bitching.
My favorite character was the woman that worked in the gift store. She had that 'been there, done that' look about her, and every time I walked by the place, the security guard was watching the counter and she was outside smoking.
Overall, I would stay there again if I'm in a pinch. If you're going to Vegas though, its too far from the strip to be practical. I happen to love the Venetian, if you don't mind shelling out for it.
