| - Stayed here while visiting family in nearby Henderson. It's a fun area, because the rates are lower than in Las Vegas and you're still very close. It's a great launching pad for Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, ATVs in the desert, & even Grand Canyon tours.
The hotel was pretty nice, here's my list of pros and cons:
PROS:
-Good looking hotel, in and out. Well maintained.
-Fun rewards system in the casino.
-Several food options, plus lots of games and a nice pool for kids too.
NEUTRALS:
-Room was large but also very sparse, with nothing in the way of amenities. Was pretty clean though and did not smell.
-Compared to Vegas proper, not an overly exciting place. But compared to somewhere like South Lake Tahoe, it's a fancy place. Context is really something huh?!
-No shuttle to the strip like Stations more expensive and nearby sister property.
-Pool is restricted to guests only, forcing residents and others (family for example) to pay.
-Security desk outside the room elevator and pool. Serves to make you to feel both safer and also worry about the crime they've experienced to require such measures.
CONS:
-Very smokey casino. Definitely not fun for a non-smoker...not the worst you've been in...but could definitely use some improvement.
-Hotel over-billed my room versus their own online confirmation. Had to call and email with them to have it sorted out. Ultimately they were able to credit me the deserved amount, but they did force me to send them PDF confirmations and make a case...which is unfortunate given their own system disparity.
-Check-in took a very long time, with only one person at the front who seemed new and slow at their job, even though there were only about 3 of us in line at around 10pm.
Although I would stay here again, I would highly consider spending just a little more to check out their sister property (Green Valley Ranch). Sunset station is for large families and those needing lots of rooms and on a budget. But for a cleaner (less smokey) and more humanizing experience, something better is needed.
