Recently stayed 4 nights at the Alexis Park Hotel ($75/night, try and get a suite for that price in Sin City). The hotel is directly across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel which is always fun to run into the musically inclined. We stayed in a standard Monarch Suite that has a large sitting area (living room) connected to the sleeping area. The space is nice to have people over, just make sure you pick up after yourself if you don't want your friends to see your unmentionables. Wet bar and fridge are good to keep snacks and cold drinks. Bed was a bit uncomfortable due to lack of padding. Electrical plug in the bathroom didn't work. The entire hotel complex is undergoing renovation, but we weren't bothered by it. If you don't need pampering and just want a good room at a great price then check out the Alexis Park.

I wish I had read reviews about the Alexis Park *before* booking.

The place has a fabulous lobby and looks nice from the outside, but the rooms were atrocious. The first room we were given wasn't made up, smelled horrible, and there was a lot of dried blood on one of the pillows. We demanded another room, and were given one in much better condition, though the bed was squeaky, there were gaps in some of the multihued bathroom tilework, mystery stains on the sofa, and one dead cockroach.

On the plus side, it looked like the exterior had been recently painted and the pool areas looked clean.

All this for $180 a night.

This establishment advertises itself as a "resort" but should really be your last resort.

Two weeks ago my family had a huge birthday party for my cousin and I have to say that my experience at The ALEXIS was great. The front desk people have always been professional and prompt. The pools look good and parking is always available. The rooms are big. It is like staying at an apartment. I visit Vegas about five times each year and I have always enjoyed my stay there. It is the only place I will stay at.

I stayed at the Alexis for a conference last week. What a disaster! The entire resort is just *tired* -- looks like a 70s style motel that's been cheaply renovated. They're halfway done repainting the motel buildings into a terra cotta stucco faux finish, but it looks "faux" and the colors from building to building don't match.

The rooms were rehabbed, yet outdated. Some of the entryway tiles in my room were cracked and replaced with mismatched tiles. Other tiles were loose and would move when I stepped on them. The tiles around the shower were also "peeling" -- i didn't think that tiles peeled, but I never stayed at the Alexis before either - you learn something new everyday! :) Also, the remote controls for the TVs didn't work and one of the lightbulbs in one of the lamps were burnt out when I arrived.

The worst part of my stay was when the water main broke and there was no hot water in the entire resort. It was the same day as my checkout and I would expect that one member of the staff would apologize and/or ask me how my stay was -- nope -- the front desk just handed me a receipt, no questions asked or apologies given for the water problem.

This is definitely NOT a resort, it's an over-sized motel.
