Needed a place to stay a few weeks ago without splurging and ended up at Polo Towers. It's on the strip and was the most inexpensive option without going too far. I wasn't sure what to expect, but my stay was decent.
Upon checking in, you're going to receive a welcome package (suggestions on things to do in the area) and will probably be asked if you're interested in a time share. Unless you want to watch a 90 minute video, say that you aren't.
There is no hotel at this casino, so that's something to keep in mind. There are also no restaurants in the hotel, but there's a convenience store that isn't open 24 hours and some fast food right outside the hotel. I recommend a carne asada quesadilla from TJ's taco's. It can almost feed two people and it's pretty cheap. There's a pool on the roof, with some cabanas, which is pretty nice.
Anyway, my room was decent. It had a balcony, which is a plus for some people. My bed was sort of floating, which was kind of weird. The front of it seemed to (at one point) be bolted to the floor, but had since separated itself, so it was up in the air. Lying or sitting on the bed brought it back down to level though, so it wasn't a big deal. Since these rooms are suites, they include a microwave, kitchen sink, refrigerator, and plates/silverware.
Polo Towers is a good stay if you have a family and/or want to get away from the madness of the strip at the end of the day. The rooms aren't very modern, and the hotel doesn't have many amenities, but everything was clean so I don't have any real complaints.
