The price seemed good, and the location was close to friends. Where it went wrong, well, when we walked into our nonsmoking room, it reeked of smoke. No problem, get a new room. The new room featured the world's noisiest bathroom fan, which was attached to the light switch. No noise meant no light. The next day, the fan blade flew off the fan, and shot into my shaving kit. I pushed the bed against the headboard, only to find a pile of sunflower seeds on the floor.

And finally, on the last day, we noticed a bunch of red stains on the lamp shade by the tv. We're hoping it was fruit juice.

Apparently Arizona Charlie's bought the property a year and a half ago. Too bad they haven't put much money into the joint.

Biggest complaint we had about our stay here was no cab service to the strip! Casino and hotel were far from the strip,so naturally cabs don't want to waste time coming this far out for fares. We used the lobby phone to request a cab and waited in the heat for an hour before the first cab showed up. But it belonged to someone who had been waiting even longer!!

Visiting family in North L.V., just wanted a place close to stay and that was all we really got. We usually stay on the Strip so I expected simple but it was old, and smelly. Not at all for families with kids.
What I liked:
the a/c worked good
it was cheap $71.00 @ night
what I didn't like:
*non-smoking floor and room; a pack of cigs found under the bed, then when unpacking at home ALL our clothes smelled of cigs.
*the pillows had the faint smell of sweaty baseball cap
*too small pool
*tv only got 5 channels (we have a child)
I will pay the extra $$ and stay somewhere else next visit.

This was our second stay here at Arizona Charlies. We rented a suite for 2 nights (our wedding night & one extra). Check in was a little later then we were told (only by 1/2 hour) and the only reason that was a downside was we had a weding in 4 hours.

The rooms are always clean and housekeeping does a great job cleaning them. Yes the hotel is off the strip, but it is only a 10-20 minute drive. Well, 10-20 minutes if you drive Decatur to one of the main streets (Tropicana, Flamingo, Sahara) and then follow those to the strip.

I played the casino more this time, and it ended up paying for everything that I did while up in Vegas, I spent about $200 on activities and won it all back. Until my last day when the new wife was sleeping, and I was bored.

The dealers were good, and very helpful. I learned how to play Pai Gow Poker here and they showed me how to set my hands for the best odds when I didn't know what to do. The only thing that I didn't like was I had to hunt down a slot technician when my ticket got stuck in the machine. However when I found one, they quickly came over, removed it, and I was on my way.

It is a locals casino, so some of the people do seem a little seedy, but I have never felt unsafe. I mean, to even get to your room in the tower, you must show a room key and they test it as well. The elevator is programmed that only those who have keys to suites may access that floor.

The food is good, and always cheap. I mean a 3/4 lb burger & fries for $2.99 is a great deal.

Overall, we will continue to stay here as it has never done us wrong in any major way.
