My husband and I stayed at the Fitz at the end of May. We wanted to stay downtown this time around.
1st the bad:
-Elevators are slow. Though normally not more than a 5 minute wait, the last day we waited 20 minutes as we tried to check out.
-Service not so great. Barely saw the cocktail waitresses, check-in nearly refused to check us in. We were not told by hotel or travel agent that a deposit is required. We had arrived the night before we got paid (direct deposit) and only had limited cash on us. Wanted a $50 credit card (we only brought debit card) or $100 cash. We offered to give it to them the next day, and was told they couldn't. Luckily they allowed $20 cash.
-Unclean. Not to the point of fearing bugs, but tub was slow to drain, and 2 days in to trip saw it was because a sticker in drain. Easy to grab (but I wasn't going to put my hand down there) but not caught by housekeeping for who knows how long. Feet were black after walking across the floor. Gave tip each day and asked for extra towels the first. The next day towels were gone. Apparently have to ask for them each and every day.
The good:
Courtyard Cafe - and their staff. Friendly, and the Sliders were excellent! Ate dinner/the Sliders the first night, went back the next night just for the sliders, and went back for breakfast our last day.
The slots were fairly loose. We didn't hit it big (though 2 or 3 people did in the 3 day span), but won enough to keep us playing. We were able to play quite a while on $20.
The location was great. The Deuce dropped off people right by Fitzgeralds, and only had to walk a block to catch bus to Strip. Walgreens right across the road, so we got water, etc there when we wanted it.
Overall, a decent place to play and visit, but I don't recommend staying there. We do plan on returning to Vegas, and we do plan on staying on Fremont again, but we will probably pick another hotel.
