We stayed at the Americana 5 on a previous trip and since we knew the lay of the land and the price was pretty good, we decided to stay there again.

This stay was definately better than our last one. The place has a new manager (Rebecca?) and she aims to please. She's all about customer service, cleanliness and safety. The rooms are clean and anyone who doesn't belong around the property is promptly removed.

This place has shown definate improvement and the next time we head out to Vegas, we'll stay at the Americana 5 again.

I had extremely bad luck and although I had a reservation at the Tropicana they did not have confirmation when I arrived and I was left driving all over town looking for somewhere that had a room available. When I showed up at Americana they said they did indeed have a rom available so, I said I thought I was going to need 2 nights. They made me pay up front $165 a night. The room was filthy. Not updated and early in the moring when I took my dog outside there was a drunk guy in the bushes with a pit bull that scared the crap out of me. I ended up checking out and they said they could not refund me that they needed to contact their corporate headquarters. I have never gotten a refund to this day. It is sad with the economy like it is that they are ok with taking advantage of people. I would not stay there again even if every place in town was full. I would rather sleep in my car!!

Smelly, dirty and extremely noisy worn-out motel right next to the freeway. We were simply shocked when we entered the room and wanted to cancel the stay immediately. Unfortunately the manager didn't inform us upon sign-in about their "absolutely no refund' clause in the small print of the contract. Beware of this establishment, for over a hundred dollars a night it was most likely our worst stay ever in any motel around the world. And we travel a lot.
