I stayed here in early December and it was worth every penny!
This hotel is old, young, fun, smoky and has some of the best people watching in Vegas.
If you are a middle-class american between the ages of 25-30, just trying to get smashed in Vegas this your hotel.
If you have children, loaded and not in Vegas for fun reasons, you will hate this hotel.
The deluxe rooms remind you of a Super 8, I had a room in tower 5 over the Carnival Club, yes, its loud, very loud, till 3am and starts again at 12pm the next day. If your in your room to complain, your fault, I loved it, with the balcony, great for drinking and getting ready in your room, which that is all you should be doing..well....
The main bar in the lobby pours a nice 7sec, 4bucks all mixed drinks, can't start your night off any better.
They also have Dealertainers, blackjack dealers dressed as celebrities, and bust out in song randomly throughout the night, its awesome. Dolly Parton did me great, 5dollar tables are not bad either.
Friends of mine had the hot tube love room and it is nice. Updated room but your balcony is on the side facing the flamingo as to having a club banging with a full view of the strip and mountains.
The hotel is nothing special, but its worth the price if your not picky. I've stayed in a lot of hotels in Vegas and the reviews for this do not do justice for this hotel. The staff was great, 15mins to check in with a line on a Friday evening, the room was clean, old but clean. I will stay here again in April, more money for me to gamble with.
