Reading the reviews this motel seemed a gamble: just what we planned to do in Vegas ;) Seriously, I didn't feel like paying $200 a night for a place I would spend 8 hours (if that) a day. So, we gambled and $35 a night got us a clean room, comfortable bed, free WiFi, Denny's value slam breakfast included & just off the strip. The casino is small but excellent for some late night gambling. The casino crowd is mixed during the day, many locals. Late at night it gets quiet and yes the crowd goes more "shady", we never felt unsafe though. Nobody bothered us in in any way, people were quiet and friendly (and should this comfort you even more: there's always the security guys keeping an eye on things) Yep, I'd say we hit the jackpot here :)))
