We stayed at Bill's for five nights in March 2009. We arrived around 11am and there was no problem checking in right away and no queues to check in either. We were offered our choice of a room with 2 queen beds or one king, we opted for one king and were given a HUGE room right at the back corner of the hotel on the top floor. I think it may have been part of a suite at some point as to get in you had to go through one door into a lobby area, off the lobby were two hotel rooms and a what looked like a parlour lounge area which was all locked up. Our room had a very retro feel, right down to a telephone in the huge bathroom!

The bed wasn't particularly well made when we entered the room, but I've noticed this seems to happen sometimes with king size beds in hotels for some reason? Our room had a partial view of the Bellagio fountains and the strip which was cool.

A very loud alarm went off at 4am one morning, some sort of fire alarm, warning us to "stay in our room until further notice" which was a little scary. Turns out water had got into the air con lines or something and triggered an alarm. Pretty minor inconvenience though.

The location of Bill's just cannot be beat, especially for the price. You can go from your room to right in the middle of the action on The Strip within two minutes! Also, as it is only a small hotel, there were no long lines to check in, which we noticed at some of the other hotels when we were exploring. You also don't have to drag your bags right through the casino to check in.

The staff were pretty good, except for one rude bellhop who yelled at us for pre-ordering a taxi and then not showing up, when we'd never ordered a taxi, we'd only checked out and then headed outside to ask for a taxi right then.

Overall Bill's exceeded my expectations and is a great place for a cheap getaway to Vegas!

Booked Bill's based on the reviews here - and they were pretty much spot on.

The location is perfect - in my opinion (as a first time visitor) this was the best section of the strip to stay at. A good thing about being in a smaller hotel was that you were no sooner walking out of your room door and you were onto the strip. Some of the bigger hotels seemed to take forever to walk from one end to the other, let alone up 10-20 floors in an elevator.

The room was better than expected, clean, very spacious and had a nice big TV. No fridge which is a shame, although I'm sure not many Vegas hotels do provide one. No complementary internet, but at these rock bottom room prices you can understand why. Wireless & wired internet was available at a extra cost. We had a great view of the strip from our window looking straight out at the Eiffel Tower). Air-con was good, and kept the room cool despite the 40+ degrees outside.

Most casinos in Vegas stank of cigerette smoke, but Bill's smelled the worst of the ones we visited. The room was fine, but the casino needed to do something about the ventilation (or give the carpets a good clean to get rid of the entrenched smell).

No pool or gym but access to the Flamingos Pool was free (thankfully, due to the heat), and you received 1 free pass (Per person) to use the Flamingo's fitness centre.

Would definitely stay there again for the price - almost unbeatable value overall.

I was drawn in by the $5.99 steak and eggs. I was met by the stench of beer and urine as I stepped out of my car in the parking garage. As I stepped off the elevator into the casino, three thuggish-looking characters were standing there. The casino has a very strong cigarette odor, so stay away if you can't handle that. So I finally get my table after a 30 minute wait. The waitress walks past our table about a dozen times before stopping to take our order. The steak was like a tire. It was chewy and almost impossible to cut with a steak knife. It also tasted like rubber. At least it has some low limit tables and is in the middle of the strip. Other than that, stay away

My husband & i have visited Las Vegas many times and stayed at most of the "big" hotels but not again. We both found Bills excellent, the location superb, the rooms big & clean with an opening window which was quite novel with warm, fresh air coming through. The staff were very helpful & suppied a fridge for medication free of charge. Our room was on the 3rd floor and quite often we were the only ones in the lift which was a major bonus for me after staying in the Flamingo with the lifts always broken.

We went to the pool in the Flamingo & took a tip from another review & walked through the staff car park which was much quicker than going through the Flamingo itself.

Bills is old/quaint but after staying at Caesars a couple of years ago I would put the rooms on a pretty similar par with the standard rooms at Caesars, but much quicker to actually get out on to the strip.

I really cannot fault this Hotel and will definately be staying again next year.
