ugh. if you ever have to be here for a convention, stay somewhere else on the strip. this place is a huge disappointment. the only reason to have any stars would be the service- everyone who works there is helpful and kind. my room was clean, and it was actually quiet.
i ordered room service, the food was terrible and the selection is like choosing the lesser of evils. i needed a quick dinner so i ate in the coffee shop. this is where i discovered that my crappy room service food probably came from this place. they also charge $12 per day to use the gym- why is this not free to hotel guests? there is no comfortable place to sit and watch a sports game either.
casino games were boring and none of the arcade games worked. i actually walked over to circus circus between meetings and had a better time. mainly because everyone else there looked like they were having more fun too. my idea of fun is not to watch the crack-like addicts with their slot machine cards attached to their jackets play 20 machines at a time.
the surrounding area is pretty shady too, i walked down to the better parts of the strip, but i took a cab back ($11 from the forum shops!!).
