I'm usually travelling through Las Vegas on my way to the Southern California coast or returning to Denver. This is my third stay at the Best Western Nellis. I used to stay at a Hampton Inn at Tropicana which is $15 more and has the a full service bar and an In-N-Out Burger across the street.
The BW Nellis has a Memphis Championship Barbeque across the street. This is not a Las Vegas rendition of Memphis barbeque, but a barbeque that has been World Champion four times and Grand World Champion three times at the International Memphis in May BBQ Cook-Off- otherwise known as the "Superbowl of BBQ." It's good!
In addtion there is a Super Wal-Mart, the traveler's best friend, a few blocks away.
The room is good sized,clean and doesn't smell of disinfectant. They've been recently remodeled with granite counter tops, refrigerators and microvaves. Oddly, no hair dryer.
There's down duvet on the bed over a blanket and five big feather pillows.
Outside it looks like a 70's motel. which means parking right outside your door. There's a second floor with no elevator.
Each room as it's own heating/cooling unit which pretty much drowns out any noise.
I originally stayed here because they have the waffle irons that use batter and turn over. A special favorite of mine. Much better than frozen waffles in a toaster. The rest of the breakfast is very light, cold cereal, juice, and coffee.
