Motel 6 served as a very cheap, and very basic stay while in Vegas for a couple of days. Let's face it, for $32 a night; you don't pay much, you don't get much!! Bed, TV, bathroom & shower. That's it!! Don't expect a clock radio, coffee maker, extra pillows or blankets, iron & ironing board, fridge, microwave, etc. They also skimp on the soap and clean towels. The hotel is wired for wifi, but you need to purchase a wifi card which gives you 24 hours of service for $2.99. That isn't bad, as many higher priced hotels charge at least $10.99. I am of the opinion that in these days and times wifi should be complimentary no matter where you stay or price you pay.

It is a large spread out property, in which one section is currently(Nov '08) being renovated. A few of it's pluses include it's proximity to "The Strip". You can walk to the MGM Grand, Hooters, Tropicana, New York New York, and the Excalibur. It's also close to the MGM Grand Monorail Station. Even on a hot day of 100+ degree temperature (38+ celsius) you can easily walk to many of these hotels. There is a Cocos Restaurant next door, and a convenience store on the property.

A major minus is that it's literally located across the street from McCarren Airport in close proximity to the runways. Now, I am a heavy sleeper. I live in California and have slept through earthquakes. Every morning without fail, I was awaken at 0600 by loud jet noise. To be fair to the motel, my room faced Koval Lane. Those rooms get the brunt of the noise from McCarren. When I stayed there before, I had a room on the opposite side of the motel, and airport noise wasn't a problem. At least it didn't wake me up every morning.

All in all, it was a clean, cheap, and very basic room. I was only in the room long enough to take a shower, sleep, wake up, and leave for the day. It's good for a short stay. Las Vegas offers many activities to occupy your time. None of which includes sitting around your motel room. At the very least you can go out and enjoy the pool!! Motel 6 is probably one of the best bargains near The Strip. It is great for budget travelers, students and young people. If you like accommodations with a certain amount of amenities; this isn't the place for you. If you go in with very few expectations,........YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

The first impression I had walking into the room was that it only seemed big enough to turn around in. We had four people, with six large pieces of luggage (had to do some repacking for flight next day) and that pretty much took up all the space in the room. Also, there were only two full size towels for us, but I was traveling with my Taiwanese parents-in-law, who make do with small towels just fine.

The room was very clean though, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The location is also not bad - just on the other side of the Tropicana. And not having extra-guest charges made it the best deal I could find. And, for us it had a nice advantage over a hotel - being able to park the car right outside your door!

Definitely recommend this. It's just a good hotel. Why four stars? Because there are no surprises, no problems, no negatives about it. If you're looking here you're probably just looking for a place in walking distance of the Strip, to ditch your car and get some sleep. Motel 6 provides.

Pluses:
- friendly and courteous service. Let me pick a room.
- easy to find location. Good when you have a car.
- though the decor is cheesy and outdated a bit, very clean
- they have a security patrol of sorts
- wifi for $3
- cheaper than Strip hotels (paid $76)
- brisk 10 minute walk to New York

Negatives:
- airport / traffic noise; helicopters were flying back and forth overhead regularly and though not facing the street there was a lot of traffic noise, sirens and honking.
- some guest noise; creaking floor above and people walking by your room sound like they're in the room.
- not that bad an area but some people, esp single females, would not feel comfortable walking from the Strip to the hotel late.

We decided to stay here for our final nite's stay in Vegas, we had a timeshare the other nites. We walked in and they would not honor the prices that we saw on the website. They said we were staying in the newer section but there was nothing new about it, the steps to the upper level were lopsided. We had to take a hike just to get to the unit passing through another motels property. This place was very noisy and a DUMP!! The room only had 2 large towels and no alarm clock and no hairdryer. The only thing it had was tiny bar of soap. I was almost afraid to sleep on the bed. The sheets did not look that clean to me. The only good thing I can say is that we only had to spend ~5 hours there before it was time to catch our plane. At $60 for a Sunday I didn't think it was a deal at all.

This motel is perfect if you don't care were you stay, as long as its cheap and safe. I would consider this Motel 6 the best motel in Vegas. But that isn't saying much, you should see some of the motels in vegas.
Motel 6 provides a decent place to stay, for a decent price. Its pet friendly, and perfect if you're a student, young, and preferably a male. There is no gambling on this site, and the cleanliness is inconsistant. Somtimes you win, sometimes you lose.
The staff is friendly, and the rooms are what you would expect from a motel 6.
The location is great, on tropicana, and inbetween the airport and the strip. There is a good pool to relax in, and a mini mart on site for all your needs. A small restaurant that serves meals too.
Consider this place if you "don't care were you stay". But if you're intimidated by motels... don't risk it, its just like all the others. Go to a hotel.
