| - Stayed here over Memorial Weekend and a friend booked 2 rooms for a group of us. The hotel itself was pretty good, but it being my first time in Sin City since turning 21+ I had always imagined I would be staying on the Strip but I didn't mind in favor of saving money!
The suites were quite spacious, probably could have easily fit our entire group into one. Each room comes with 2 fulls/queens (I don't know how to tell mattress sizes...), TV, desk, sitting area with an arm chair, sofa, and coffee table, full size bathroom including separate bathtub and shower stall, a mini kitchen with a microwave, minifridge, sink, and a breakfast table. In addition to all this, the other room had a two-range electric stove in the minikitchen though we didn't have one in ours...
The only gripes I have about the place is their slight slow response to housekeeping requests, such as extra towels or blankets. At one point we had called 3 times to check up on our extra blankets until late at night. The other gripe I have is the distance from the Strip. While it wasn't really too far, it gets pretty tiring going back and forth a few times in a day. We didn't want to drive anywhere within Vegas so we would commute back and forth by walking. At times it wouldn't be too bad, until the blazing sun would come out and pound on us, or just when exhaustion from walking all day gets to you. After a few times, we learned to cut through Bally's Casino down the street since it was air-conditioned! Yay!
Lastly, they had a restaurant on the casino floor that had a midnight special on steak and eggs for $3.99 that also includes hash browns and your choice of bread. While I didn't personally get to try it, all my friends enjoyed it tremendously - I'm sure the price made it all the more better too ;). For those interested, the special is only good between the hours of 12am - 5am. But if you just miss it, they have a special on a burger and fries for $4.99 which I heard was also quite good.
Extras: pretty nice lobby with a counter for half-price show tickets but a rather small pool :\
So, overall 3 stars. It is a fairly nice place and sufficient enough for those wanting to save money. I would recommend this place to friends looking for cheaper alternatives and for them to bring comfortable shoes!
