I was scared after seeing the reviews. \n\nPros: \n-Cheap\n-Not too far from the strip\n-Was relatively clean\n-Good tv shows\n-A/c very cold\n-A refrigerator!! Which I was excited because a lot of the more expensive places I've stayed didn't have one\n-They give you two shampoos/lotions/soap when you first come in your room (instead of one each)\n-Continental breakfast- eggs, pancakes, waffles\n-decent customer service/somewhat friendly \n-two beds\n-pool and hot tub\n-very close to a Walgreens \n-lots of mirrors (if you are staying with multiple girls, all getting ready at once)\n-close to a really good pizza place (forgot the name but you can alway yelp pizza when you are there)\n-also steps away from an amazing Italian restaurant\n-pool table in lobby \n-close to the high roller (the ferris wheel looking thing that are individual bar/lounges with a huge view of vegas, next trip I hope to go there)\n\nCons:\n-$100 CASH deposit upon check-in (you get it back when you check-out) but we weren't aware of this, so if you bring a limited amount of cash with you and you don't like atm fees keep this in mind (they do have an atm in the lobby if you don't care about fees)\n-carpet was dirty\n-odd smell in the halls\n-we did have to take a taxi back and forth a lot, because while it is near the strip its a little out of the way from New York, New York, and surrounding casinos, didn't want to walk that far \n-our window faced the pool so loud kids could be heard screaming in the morning/afternoon\n-no casino\n-towels looked old and weren't fluffy and white, more of an off white \n-room was a little dark even with all the lights on\n-deceiving online pictures\n\n\nHonestly if your not spending much time in the room/hotel and you're just looking for a cheap place to stay, this place might be the place for you. Would I stay here again? Probably not. I've always stayed at the Luxor or Excalibur but due to a convention most places were booked. I don't think this place was as bad as the other reviews stated, though."^^ . "0"^^ .
