I stayed at Fitzgeralds Feb 6-9. This was my first stay downtown after approximetaly 20 visits to large strip hotels. The purpose of this particular trip was simply to relax and have a good time gambling and recharging my batteries which has become increasingly hard to do on the strip because of the lines, high prices and unpleasent gambling.

I was very pleased with Fitzgeralds! The room was a bit dated but was absolutely spotless. The in room safe is also a nice convenience.

I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of the staff as well as the other visitors. The gambling there was a blast...win or lose! It was very easy to get around the hotel and casino.

The thing I really enoyed about staying downtown was that there was the lack of long lines and long walks which can really suck the life out of you on the strip. There was also many great food values to choose from.
However, Fitzgeralds is going to have to do something to offer better quality mainstream food to round out the property.

Bottom line- Fitzgeralds is a fantastic downtown hotel and I can't wait to go back.

My husband and I came to Las Vegas Oct. 2003. It was a belated honeymoon trip. We stayed at Fitzgeralds and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff were very, very friendly. They gave us an upper floor room as they knew that we would like a view. The room was very nice, spacious and clean. Very comfortable. The only thing I would add to the rooms is a coffee pot. They come in handy when you have to have your coffee in the am. The view was beautiful and right on the downtown shops and casinos. Thank you Fitzgeralds for a wonderful trip.

With a Fitz's comp card you get reduced room rates, cash back and build up comp dollars to use for other purchases. Have stayed at most of the Downtown hotels, and The Fitz rates right up there, for the price.
Andres, a sportsbook bartender is great. It's fun when you walk up to the bar and he remembers who you are from the last trip. If he tries to give you betting tips, bet the opposite. I have stayed there at least 10 times, and the only misfortune I had was, one time, only 2 of the 4 elevators, were operable for a day or so. I will continue to return, unless they quit honoring the comp card and it's benifits.

My nephew had referred The Fitz. to us, we usually stay at the GN, the weekend we were there, last weekend in August, 2003. we could of stayed at GN for the same price, but wanted to try something different. The only reason we didn't leave after the first night(besides being to lazy to pack) was because the hotel maids on the 21st floor were THE BEST! I wish I could remember their names, but they were superb and knew their job from the floor up! Not only did they greet us as we passed in the halls in the A.M."s the asked us if we had any special requests! We did talk with a couple of the bartenders and they were cool too. We really didn't ask for any service, but everyone was kind. I think we just like the plushness of the GN and I like the security at the elevators at the GN made me feel 'safe' when I came down stairs to play the slots w/o my husband. Elevators at the Fitz. could be scary at times, they say 11 passengers, but when we were there, it seemed like many more tried to squeeze on. Yikes! The entertainment that weekend was excellent,only(the comic Wild Bill)made some inappropriate coments about New Yorkers and 9-11, which insulted a few people who ended up walking out, we did too, and we are'nt even from NY. They did have a sax player/group 1 black man and 1 white man that were totally hot ,I don't think they are there now, I didn't see them on the ent. list for the Fitz. I think the Fitz. was ok but if the GN offers the same price I'd stay there in a heart beat! We did have a great view on floor 21 though, I think the housekeepers forgot to clean the window though. ... Slots were tight I blew alot on the wheel of fortune the first night quarters, previously I had won big there. go figure.
