| - This year we stayed at Sunset Station with relatives for 5 days, 4 nights. We've been coming here for years and always enjoy the ambiance and the slot variety. The rooms are aging a bit and we had trouble with getting hot water late at night. They've improved their check in process from last visit and we were able to get into our room early without standing in long lines.
Prices for buffet meals are very cheap with $4.99 for breakfast and $9.99 for dinner. You need a slot club card but it's only takes a few minutes to get one. We even like the small taco stand next to the Mexican restaurant. The buffet food is standard but choices are many and you won't go hungry. I've never had a problem with excess smoke in the casino so I find that complaint puzzling. I don't smoke so I notice things like that right away. Of course sitting next to a bunch of smokers will do it but I move away and I'm fine.
There are some annoying features like the $14.99 "service charge". You have to ask for a refrigerator, we have a diabetic, but it was taken care of immediately by housekeeping. The Grand Cafe says it's open 24/7 but it isn't. From 10pm to 6AM there isn't anyone there at all. 10PM seems a little early to close. Starbucks closes at 10 also so if you want something have to get there early.
The interior is very nice and spacious with high ceilings and a magnificent central bar designed by Gaudi with lots of beautiful stained glass. If you walk all the way around and back to the hotel tower, it's a major trek. Lots and lots of slot machines everywhere, bingo room, kid's quest area for the children, movies, fast food like Fatburger and Ben & Jerrys, and even a giant bowling alley. We've enjoyed the oyster bar in the past. Never have done the steakhouse though. You can earn points quickly here in the slot club. This trip our room was comped all four days. You are away from the strip if that bothers you. It's a very short drive on 215 to anywhere on the strip by car and only 17 minutes to the airport. I know cause I had to drive there a lot to pick up people and take them back. And for you shopping fiends, there is a giant mall right across the street from the casino.
One side trip down Sunset Road east from the casino was to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden. It's FREE and has a giant chocolate gift shop, go figure, with any kind of chocolate you may want. We have photographers in our group and they loved the garden too. So it's worth a trip for you chocoholics.
The service isn't as good as say Harrahs in Temecula but we still love the place and the rooms are very reasonable for our out of state visitors.
