Second trip to vegas, we were trying to keep the trip to a smaller budget. This hotel was great, clean rooms, great customer service, and great off-strip location. It's right next to the Tropicana and across the street from the MGM, so it takes mere minutes to get to the strip.
There's no food court and very limited restaurant options, but the mad onion is decent and inexpensive. You get free bottled water in your room every morning, which is great.
This isn't the ritz, but at $20/night on my stay, you can't beat the price or the location and this hotel was a bit dated but very clean and comfortable.
