| - I'll preface my remarks by saying that I didn't actually stay at Hooter's myself. A buddy of mine who was in Vegas at the same time I was and stayed there. I was at another hotel and visited to take a look around.
All I can say is, Wow! I never would have though that they could have made a hotel so much like a restaurant! The signature orange colors and wood flooring are seen throughout the casino, restaurants and rooms. They've even got small tables and stools in the rooms like they do at the restaurant! I never would have believed it!
The pool area looked nice, although a little rundown. This was in Dec 2008, so it may have just been that the cold weather and the winds that were blowing through were keeping things from looking perfect.
I'd equate the rooms to a Red Roof Inn or Days Inn. Nothing at all fantastic. Standard, uncomplicated bedding. Chips and scratches in the paint and signs of being somewhat rundown. Nothing too scary, but noticable.
From what my buddy said the "free slot plays" are kind of cheesy. You're required to use certain machines to play, have to play with higher amounts, and can't really make too many choices for yourself. He was not particularly impressed.
We did nosh on the breakfast buffet on our last day (thanks 2-for-1 coupon!) and it was decent. Much what I would expect a Hooters restaurant to serve if they served breakfast. They also had great buffalo wing deals after 12 midnight, but by the time we were done hitting the town we pretty much just crashed as soon as we got back, and never made it to the tables.
Basically I'd say that you get what your pay for. My buddy paid something like $39/night for the room and understood that that wouldn't be getting him a stay in a 5-star joint. But when you're out on the town most of your trip and don't spend too much time in your room, is an expensive room worth it???
