| - Location not too far from the strip and amazing rates (the last trip we were able to stay 2 nights, $15/person/night on a holiday weekend) is what brought me and my friends back this year. I checked us in this time, and the concierge was very helpful and super friendly. Their main restaurant reminded me of an IHOP or Coco's - mediocre food, to be expected at this type of off-strip casino, and the buffet was a pleasant surprise for the price. I don't gamble, but my friends were huge fans of their late night Bingo and almost everyone won a game there or at the slots.
However: my roommate rented out a huge, multi-room suite on the top floor (couple hundred $$/night). A comforter on one of the beds had a large, noticeable dried-up stain on it, and he later found a crack pipe which appeared to have been recently smoked and still had remnants in it stuffed into a roll of toilet paper. He immediately brought these items to management's attention who apologized and offered a discount of some sort that would be accounted for when we checked out. On check out day, we were told no discount would be given, and after a drawn out discussion they decided to take $20 off of his bill, their excuse being that maybe he was the one who planted the pipe to obtain a discount (which THEY had originally offered, he hadn't asked for.) My roommate's been sober for 10 years. Then they pointed the finger at me since I had a key to his room. Seriously? They balked when I offered to take a drug test on the spot and gave us 8 vouchers for a free buffet. Problem with that is we had no use for them since we were leaving, plus there were 10 people in our party.
This place would have easily garnered 3 or 4 stars, but management lost 2 - mainly for accusing us of illegal activity. I wouldn't recommend against staying here, just hope that no drug paraphernalia shows up in your bathroom. If it does, you're on your own.
