Pound for pound this is the best bang for buck on the strip! I stay here often because it is centrally located to everything I want to do, and there are shuttles running to Rio where I play a lot of poker. The Casino itself is pretty nice, but feels small to me for some reason. I haven't really had the chance to gamble too much here, but I hope to later down the road.
The Rooms:
They aren't the newest on the block. The rooms I have had were ok, but showed serious signs of age. The bathrooms were especially non-elegant. One time I had an ok view from my room, and the other times the views were pretty terrible. I have stayed in both the smoking and non-smoking rooms. I like that getting to the rooms is relatively easy, and that you don't have to go through a maze to get to the elevators like in other casinos.
The Food:
The local food vendors are not that great. I have tried a few of them, and they are just "ok." The Tequila bar is a place I frequent often due to their late hours of operation--very useful!
Will I return? Absolutely! I hope you check them out too. Enjoy!
