I love this casino, great fun atmosphere and frozen strawberry or lime margaritas and bottles of beer for $1.

I stayed here last weekend. My friends all stayed in the venetian which is right next door. Rooms are small but dont smell smokey and I'm very sensitive. The beds are a bit stiff but soft pillows and sheets make up for it. AC worked fine. The only down side to the hotel is the noise from Harvey's alley. They run the garbage masher anytime of night.
Casino was packed during the day. Couldn't get into play craps until early morning hours. Won several hundred on the 10-play video poker machines in the back. Not too smokey in the casino either plus the casino is open a bit so a breeze flows in. Dennys and outback there, McD's and other food next door. Great parking too if you stay at the hotel. Desk clerks were very nice and held a package for me to give to a friend as I left.
Book on the phone only, do not use their stupid website.

Hotel room in line with $69 pricing; friendly, efficient housekeeper; efficient, helpful front desk personnel; dealers at table games mostly good... HOWEVER, playing at a craps table one night, a pit boss was extremely loud and rude to a shooter. The shooter remained calm and mature and complied with the instructions by the pit boss on the throwing of the dice. But at the end of the fantastic roll, the pit boss continued loud admonishment of the shooter and banned the guest from shooting the dice again. Another pit boss then literally threw the shooter’s player card toward him onto the table. A "big boss" was in the pit and said nothing to the employees about their unprofessional actions. One young lady even told the pit boss this was her first time at craps and that when she threw the dice please don’t yell at her like that. The inappropriate communication behavior by the pit boss drove some of us committed craps players away. We found $3 craps tables downtown with especially great people and service at Binion's - they were polite, customer caring, friendly - even when directing guests on rules of dice throwing. We played over 40 hours of craps at Binion’s with excellent service, fun atmosphere and even some winnings. One Casino Royale dealer told me that management kept up with table games' profits and losses throughout the day and night and pressured pit bosses when tables were losing to the house. Maybe that pit boss was trying to interrupt the shooter's great run at that moment - the shooter still made all of us a lot of money quickly. No more Casino Royale for us.

Right in the heart of the strip. Casino downstairs, steakhouse upstairs, what more could you want? Great free parking! Why stay at one of the high priced hotels? Everything was clean and working as expected! Staff very freindly.
