| - Well... you will read a variety of opinions here... some say it's a great deal, other's claim it is only slightly more welcoming than a slab at the Clark County morgue. In my opinion, The Quad is a cheap way to enjoy Vegas. Key word is "cheap." The price was under $30/night... c'mon, do you really think for that price you will get the quality of a top notch hotel? Ugh... nope. But you do get the basics: a bed (or 2), linens that fit, we had a fairly large, if sparse, room, a toilet that flushes, a tub that sometimes empties, soap, shampoo, a hair dryer, an alarm clock, a door lock, and check-in (around 1:00 a.m.) was a breeze. Great location on the Strip. Compared to our next stop, The Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall in Laughlin, the Quad is a luxury resort! Compared to the Wynn Las Vegas, it's a holding reservoir for untreated sewer contents. So take it as it is, if your enjoyment is based on having a lush suite with all the amenities that would make Elvis swoon... not a good choice. If you are frugal (cheap), want to sleep little, party or gamble or shop or crowd watch most of the time, this is a good choice. Would I stay there again? Sure... but not if I hit the big progressive that is now over $1 million buckaroos... then we'll stay at Mandalay Bay and have a buff, blond chauffeur named "Sven" drive us up and down the Strip in one of those glistening white Hummer limo's. I think I dreamt that while dozing at The Quad after losing $10.00 on a penny machine.
