We stayed here an entire week for a convention. As others have noted, it's far from the real lights and action in Las Vegas. It took a long time to drive anywhere to see shows downtown, etc. The standard rooms were spacious and clean, but poor staff service overall was a continuous issue and a disappointment.
Pros:
* Price
* Fast elevators (2 banks) to rooms
* Free in-room safe
* Free coupon for some free slot play
* Spacious bathroom plus couch and coffee table in standard room
* Digital thermostat
* Large windows (view varies)
* Newer look/feel, with modern color palette in rooms
* Rooms felt and looked clean
Cons:
* Always enormous lines at registration, no matter day or time
* No electric, sensor-operated doors at front of hotel--you get the joy of wrestling them open manually each time, and they are heavy
* A very long hike to and from main entrance to rooms, doubly challenging when dragging your suitcases, and each way you are forced to navigate through a casino thick with smoke (asthmatics beware!)
* Limited hours for food vendors, and only Pepsi throughout hotel (yes, that matters to some of us)
* Skimpy supply of thin towels -- one per person; we requested extras several times, but only received them once
* We asked to borrow a bottle opener several times from room service, and it was promised every time but never delivered
* Shower was very low pressure; water only lukewarm
* Very few TV channels, and an odd mixture--many horse racing channels (for placing bets), Chinese and Spanish news channels, but not your typical CNN, HBO, Weather Channel, or anything useful
* Our TV picture tube blew out on the third day, was reported but never replaced during our stay (not that I really missed my nightly dose of the news delivered in Chinese anyway!)
* Business center had very limited hours and was very expensive--around $12 for an hour of Internet, and you could not save any of the paid time for later use
* We had read the slots were the second loosest in Vegas here, but that was not our experience
* The Garden Buffet was very disappointing. Food was poor to average at best. For dessert I chose a cheesecake which turned out to be warm Jell-O cheesecake (not the real stuff) and it had congealed fruit topping. It had been sitting out for a long time without refrigeration. Salad bar was limited and the lettuce was wilted.
Conclusion: A decent choice for budget travelers; if you value cleanliness over service; and are willing to drive a good distance for decent restaurants or shows.
