We got a ridiculous deal through one of the travel websites and once flights were out of the way, the hotel worked out to $15/night! Split that between 4 guys that were looking for a launching pad for the party that is Vegas...and you can't beat a deal like that.
Anyways, getting to the useful information.
Check In - We got there at 9am on a Sunday...line up was huge and not moving at all. One of the clerks was busy telling every person that came to the counter her life story and literally in the time it took to get one person checked in...the other girl did three! So tried the old slipping the $20 bill in with the id/credit card trick...she didn't even take the money and didn't even acknowledge us when we asked if an upgrade was available. First time ever that has happened to me.
Room - Well...it was hotel room that I'm pretty sure looked the same as it did when I stayed there last time...15 years ago! But really, for the amount of time we spent there...it was perfect. There was a little deck to stand on while we smoked, the a/c worked like a charm even if it was a little noisy. TV was small but worked fine if you wanted to find out how to play Blackjack or something. Cleaning service was great and efficient, left us extra towels when we asked for them and even an extra garbage can that we used as a cooler.
Elevators - Brutal and slow...always packed around check in time and not a lot of room to begin with. When you put the four of us in it...there wasn't much room and we're not exactly fatty fat fats.
Pool - One pool and one hot tub. (hot tub in 30plus celsius weather? no thanks) The little waitresses were quick and seemed to know exactly when your drink was ready to be refilled...but look out man, when you're used to drinking for free at the machines/tables...it get expensive when you sign off on a few buckets o beer. Food was perfect for poolside. Burgers and dogs. Music seemed like we had time warped to the 80's but that was fine. Who doesn't want to hear a little old school Motley Crue when you're drinking in the sun by the pool?
Dealertainers - These guys are money! Not one of them would pass as the actual celebrity that they're impersonating, but to be able to stay in character while dealing cards...like when Michael Jackson does a little spin when the house gets Blackjack...too funny.
Nightclub - With your room key you get free access to the bar across from the lobby...it's worth a look but I'll say this. I've never been "hey baby"d by so many, um, working girls in my life in one location. Ugh... Decent crowd though. We were there Sunday through Thursday night and stopped in there for a while each night. It's always a busy scene and not as fru fru as some of the other clubs in Vegas.
Shuttle Service - To airport/Freemont/anywhere...non-existent....
Restaurants - We ate at the Teahouse on the first day after check in...and it's a lot like a meal you'd expect at a truckstop. Lots of food, and you walk away full...but it's not gourmet by any means. Here again, you get what you pay for and for the $7 I spent...I was satisfied.
Location - Perfect. Monorail is right there...Freemont is a $15 cab ride if you want. You're close to the Fashion Mall if you have to pick up stuff for friends back home.
I'd definitely recomend this place to guys that were going for a stag party and just need a staging area for the night's activities.

I'd post photos...but for this trip what happened in Vegas...stayed in Vegas....

That's the best thing about the place. It seriously needs an upgrade/overhaul.

When we reserved, we were told that the beds were Queens, but they were only full sized.

The rooms haven't been upgraded since my last trip there 14 years ago! The bedspreads were very worn.

With that said, the location is awesome. Also, please get some new entertainment - we saw the Luau, the car museum, and Legends in 1995 already.

Stayed here before that is why we returned hotel dirty gone down hill half of the restarants are closed room dirty found long hair alot in my bed and did not get the suite i ordered pool never any chairs opens late great location to strip put a charge on my sons credit card that never happened still awaiting credit.Do not take the stairs down no way out no fire doors have to come back up and bang on door hopefully someone will open it for you elevators old and very slow.You have to pay for ice now from machines.Very disappointed will not return and tell my friends not to.I hear New York hotel great.

We arrived on a Wednesday mid-afternoon so check in was fairly quick. The staff was friendly at all times but the hotel lacked in so many other ways it would be hard to recommend. The layout for the rooms is crazy and as others have noted, the elevators are slow and many times only one working out of 4. Room was clean, beds were comfy but I was really surprised to see a 19" TV. I thought they were all dead. bring your own shampoo and conditioner because what ever they provide will tear your hair out. The food is overpriced and nothing less than terrible. I would suggest eating anywhere but there. If you have a folding cooler bag, pack it. That way you can at least keep drinks and snacks in your room. The location is good and that is a plus. Easy walking distance to great hotels and places to eat. (The buffet at Treasure Island is really good and less than $20.00.) The gaming was not too bad, but I prefer O'Shay's right next door. We chose it because we didn't want to spend much on the hotel to leave more money gambling. Next time I'll stick to my favorite, Golden Nugget downtown.
