Especially when you're hardly in your room anyhow.\n\nI love this hotel and here's why:\n\n** It's a strip-located hotel with a downtown price\n** They are renovating the rooms to all have pillow top comfy mattresses and flat screen plasmas.\n** Low limits on table games\n** Extremely empty gaming areas (I was at a $5 table by myself on a Saturday night)\n** Good value poker tournament three times per day\n** The fastest valet in Vegas\n** Non-smoking room means non-smoking room\n** Electronic check in and check out.\n\nBasically it's a great location that has cheap, available gaming, with new-ish rooms. When there's not enough to offer you here, there are about 15 other mega-resorts to curb your appetite. You might as well sleep in a decent cheap room and save your benjis for slots, smokes, shopping or strippers.\n\nSidenote: Some of the dealers are ancient and basically creepy old men who say inappropriate things. The rest barely speak English and refuse to tell you the correct basic strategy move - they just say \"it's your money\". Nice. At least it makes you laugh later and gives you a funny story to tell. More Vegas entertainment!"^^ . .
