Check in was quick, friendly and got a nice quieter room since it is in the middle of the Fremont Street Experience. Supposedly the Downtown area is where the locals hang out. For the most part, more affordable as far as hotels and eats. The hotel is clean but because of the casino smoke from cigarettes is everywhere in the lobby area. I stayed during January 2015 and received $15 food discount when used at selected restaurants located inside the hotel. I ate at the Paradise buffet ($15 dinner) and it was decent. The banana cream pie was really good! Homemade pie crust with real bananas. I booked the hotel using Expedia. I tried booking directly with the hotel but smoking rooms were the only ones available. I would stay here again. I highly recommend a rental car to get around. There is free indoor parking at the hotel. Valet only, no self park but again it is free. I just tip $1 everytime I retrieve my car and the guys are always thankful."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2015-01-15T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . .
