We have stayed at Boulder about 3 years in a row and it has been a very pleasant experience. The rooms are large and clean. It is about 15 minutes from the strip but since we seniors like gambling at the local spots it is great for us. It is quiet and the trafic is not bad on Boulder Highway. They have a nice buffet and several other places to eat including a Burger King if you're in a hurry. It is close to Sam's Town, Arizonia Charlies and not far from many other local casinos. The elevators are in the back but right when you get off is the casino. On week ends it may be busy since they have a large movie theater and lots of young people seem to be going through the casino. We have a great time there and do recomend it if you don't mind being off the strip. You would need a car to get around though.

We stayed at the Boulder for just a night in January, as our main hotel didn't have any rooms available for that night. Although it's way off the Strip the rooms are really clean and overall, for the money you pay it's an excellent choice!
Didn't have enough time to check the restaurants, casino or anything else...

I've stayed at B.S. with my pals (all over 50) many times. It's a great place for gambling and drinking with the 'guys'. The cocktail service is constant. You'll find .25 VP machines at a 10/7 payout (and they did pay out). I hit 4 of a kind a couple of dozen times, although no Royals this trip. They pay much better than Sam's Town. BJ is at a $3-$5 minimum. The rooms are extremely clean and good size, with comfortable king or 2 queen beds. The food is OK in the buffet and coffee shop, but you'll find better at Sam's or Sunset Station. The pool is very basic in size and look. It's more like something you would find in a Super 8 or Red Roof Inn. The casino is in a convienient location on Boulder Highway, right at the expressway exit. B.S. is a much better atmosphere than Palace Station in every way, but less overall than Sunset Station. Station Casinos will treat you well if you're a player. All Station Casinos charge an extra $4.95/night for "resort services", which is just a subtle way of charging more for a room. So always add $4.95 to your room rate to determine if you're getting the best deal fom the various hotel web sites. Overall, a very good place to stay, if you are driving, away from the over-priced 'everything' on the strip.

Stayed there during the 2005 PBR Finals. Clean and quiet room. Hotel was not crowded. Breakfast buffet was great. Son loved Kids Quest and we did too so we could bet away by ourselves for a bit. Absolutely wonderful for the money. Would stay there again!
