We thought it might be cool to stay in a hotel off the strip. Much cheaper rates (or so we thought) could make our weekend a little easier on the wallet.
Maybe it was the weekend we were there, but the rates were really not that cheap. About average for a hotel, a little cheaper than on the strip. It does have a pool, but its a small one. The buffet was ok, but it wasn't the cheap buffet w were expecting. $12 per person ($16 for the guy who didn't have a membership card).
My main downsides to this place were the lack of convenience (if you want to go to the strip, now you have to drive there or get a ride). A lot of the casino shuts down at night. There's not much to do at the hotel/casino itself. It's located in what feels like the edge of a residential area.
Doubt I'll be back. I'd rather pay the difference to be located in a better & more happening area
