I stay at La Quinta when I am traveling with my family and our very small dog. I like the hotel chain as it is pet friendly, normally offers two queen beds, a decent breakfast, and, preferabably, an indoor pool. This hotel met my criteria. The check in clerk was very friendly. Breakfast was fine. We used the indoor pool and it was good. The only thing that made me a bit uncomfortable was the neighborhood. I did not feel that comfortable walking my dog outside the building but did not have any problems. If you are traveling with crew and a pet and want to be close to the Strip, this hotel will work.

Hey we waited too long and then was caught short for a place to stay. The major hotels and downtown didn't want to rent to us because we were leaving out on a Friday night. They would all book us but charge us for Saturday. La Quinta was a surprise and a delight. The rooms weren't equal to the Strip's but par with Fremont. We were close to Tropicana Road and the freeway system. We were 2 floors up and a very short distance to the parking lot unlike the big hotels. Our room was quiet and had all the amenties plus a microwave and frig. The free breakfast was a big hit. Waffles, sausage, toast, bagels, cereal, coffe, juices, fruit and a free newspaper to boot. Overall Vegas is getting too big and yucky but La Quinta on Paradise Road was a good bet. I'd go there again and I can't say that about everywhere I've stayed in Vegas and we've been going for many many years.

I stayed here with my boyfriend for New Years Eve 2005. We were looking for a place to stay that was close to the strip. We were not looking for anything fancy. When we got there the staff greeted us warmly. In fact, they were always helpful and got to know us very well. The price was great because we booked early.

The hotel is secure at night - you cannot come in after hours unless you have a key - or in our case - they know you.

It was a great location for us as we were only a short walk to the strip (15-20 mins), and even watched the magnificent fireworks from the barricade.

The room is nothing fancy, but it was clean and the hotel was quiet. Its a non-gaming property, but they provide continental breakfast in the morning -a bonus for people with healthy appetites!

Honestly, the price is affordable for budget travellers or just those that realise you are not spending a lot of time in your room when in Vegas!

I wanted an afordable hotel room close to the strip for a weekend in Feb. The La Quinta on Tropicana provided that, but there were two things that bothered me about the hotel.
1) The carpets desperately needed steam cleaning. This is probably due to the fact that they allow pets.
2) My room keys somehow got cleared one afternoon. The girl at the front desk quickly reset them, but she never asked for my ID. What if someone had been impersonating me to gain access to my room?

The 2nd reason is why I'm unlikely to stay at this hotel again.
