I'm sad that this place got such crap reviews. I've stayed on the strip (Paris and Cesar's) multiple times and this place literally was just as good considering it was so much cheaper and the room was very spacious and clean. I guess a lot of people were complaining about the Casino side but if you're looking to be an actual guest I do recommend this Hotel. The elevators are super fast and the location can't be beat. The staff ( front desk and the porters) were extremely friendly and would chat up with me in the elevator or in the hallways. My mom enjoyed the slots and they were rewarding her pretty generously so maybe that's why we felt we had a better experience than most. If we do decide to stay Downtown as opposed to The Strip, I'd definitely give my business back to this place.
