The previous reviews had me feeling a little iffy about staying here. However, the price was right so I took a chance and really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is centrally located, affordable, and fun! The location could not have been better. All the action happens in the center of the strip. If an updated room is important to you, make sure to get a "valley tower room". Our room was tastefully updated and appeared clean. We had a nice view, too. I was shocked that the pools in Vegas close at 5!! Our pool was decent. Too many cabanas around it though and I was not interested in paying extra. They have a pretty good food court, ben and Jerry's, a few Starbucks spots, and lots of bars and frozen drink places! The piano bar was a lot of fun! It brings in a decent crowd, day and night! I will definitely stay here on my future visits to Vegas!
