This update is based on their Red Room.
The only reason to go to Vegas in the middle of the summer is the cheap hotel rates. When the husband and I planned our trip, we got the Red Room for $110/night. While we didn't really mind the room we had before, we wanted an upgrade. BTW, we're those rare people that go to Vegas and actually spend time in the room. Anyway.
We were offered an upgrade to a Strip view room, but we declined. The clerk also explained to us how their deposit/debit card policy worked, which we appreciated. She sidestepped the deposit and just charged us for the room and tax. We had no plans to put anything else on the bill, which is why she did that.
Onto the room. It's very red indeed. We had a nice mountain view where we watched the planes descend into McCarran. The king-sized bed was super comfy. The flat screen TV even had a few HD channels on it. The bathroom was about the same as the other room, just redder and with a slippery floor. We had to be mindful of that.
The employees were still friendly and the casino is still nice.
