Stayed here before in 2005 so knew what to expect and it had not changed much. Still offers very good rates for a great location (centre of strip really so near Venetian, Paris, Bellagio). This is not the best hotel on the strip by any means but room was fine and had no issues. Service adequate and lines were not too bad for checkin or for the elevators. The buffet breakfast was not bad but worth going to the Bellagio which costs maybe $4 more but was much better. Would stay here again. The casino is one of the more smoky ones on the strip so non smokers may like this less.

WORST HOTEL IN THE WORLD. My husband and I are easy to please but this was like hell. My husband has to take medicine for an illness. We specifically remember leaving the bottle of pain medicine on the table because he would need it after we returned. IT WAS GONE, EVEN THE 2 LOSE PILLS THAT WERE RESTING ON THE TABLE. The hotel police assured me that we both have just been drinking and his employees have done nothing. The investigation done was a joke. Then a fire siren was under repair during the time we were sleeping (daytime).... it took 3 hours. The next day there was some kind of drillling for constuction on the floor above us. The casino took forever to bring complimentary drinks. 1 per hour. We didnt get any sleep and my husband had to finish the trp in pain. The problem is the quality of staff they hire, I dont think half of them would pass a background check. We were fine with the hotel smelling musty and being very old, we were trying to save our money for spending but I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN.
*********************IMPORTANT NOTE *************
Stay away from those timeshare presentations that give you a free show for attending. The Wyndham Manager was very sleazy, we signed a mini contract saying if we stay for 2 hours we get the show tickets. They wouldnt let us leave without buying time share and when I tried to tell him we signed a deal in writing he stated, "I dont care what that paper says if you dont sign your not getting any tickets." After 6 hours... 6 HOURS!!! we finally were given some dumb impersonation show tickets and not the Cirque ones we were promised.

  • Liked — Leaving
  • Disliked — It ruined my entire trip to Vegas.

We stayed here for 5 nights over Easter break. It's an ideal time for visiting Las Vegas as the heat wasn't too oppressive (unlike August!).

The IP has a fabulous central strip location. It's a little bit tired, but for the money, I'm not sure it can be beaten! The room was big and light and airy with a comfortable bed and a small balcony with lovely views of the mountains at the back of the strip. When we checked in, we were given a choice of rooms and I would recommend one at the back with this view - much quieter!

The bathroom was a bit dark, but the shower had incredible water pressure - it gave a massage at the same time! An excellent start to the day.

The hotel itself was like a rabbit warren - get the wrong lift and you walk around for a while! Quite a few eating choices, reasonably priced - although in Las Vegas, you can go anywhere!

A great base, but could do with a facelift perhaps? For what we paid though, it was great value!

We spent 3 nights here in the delux love tub room free on comps & loved it. We had great housekeeping service every day. Fresh linens everyday. All staff was very friendly & helpful. Wasn't impressed with the burger place but spent most of our time out & about so found other places to eat. Check in was the only bad part of our trip. Spent about an hour in line. Would recommend to anyone.

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....
