WARNING! I did a web search and booked three days and two nights at the Palace Station. The deal was for $36 per night for a single bed in the Garden room. Upon check-in, the desk clerk charged me $16 per day "service charge." Here is what the $16 fee provided me with: 1. Shuttle to the Las Vegas Strip (What? I have my own car!); 2. Airport Shuttle Transportation (What? I drove, not flew, to Las Vegas!); 3. Pool Access (I didn't use.); 4. High-Speed Wireless Internet in Every Room (I don't have a laptop.); Unlimited Local and Domestic Long Distance Calls (Excuse me, but, I have my own cell phone!); Gym Access ( I didn't use); Complimentary Copy and Fax Services (I had nothing to FAX!); On-Site Notary (For what? I'm on a [--] vacation!).

I am well aware that the Station Casinos are in financial distress with the current economic recession, but, taking advantage of their hotel guests will only drive repeat customers away. I can't think of any other hotels in Las Vegas that play this type of billing shenanigans that I am aware of. I for one no longer plan to visit or stay there!

The only knock for me is no in room coffee but you can order a pot from room service. It arrives quick and hot as does their breakfasts.. The 10 dollar 'Combo Breakfast' (room service) is delicious, cooked as ordered and arrives in a flash.


The rooms are small and I cant speak for the other areas but the Courtyard rooms are dark like i like it. You can nap anytime-the curtains black out 95% of the light.. It also is very quiet. The room doors meet the floor unlike The Mirage for example where you can almost slide under the door if you forgot your key. The room doors also close QUIETLY- You cant slam them like so many other hotels'

The Internet is blazzing fast and has not gone down once in the 6 days im here. My room is located the farthest from the Registration area possible and the WI-FI shows "Excellent" at all times. The Palace Station has the best Internet Service I have experiienced anywhere and I am in Hotels more than 40 days a year and usually 3 Stars or better.

There is a carpet in the whole place that is ugly and dirty looking but really it's just a bad design. If they put in new carpet this place would really improve by about 2 Stars for the average family im sure.

There is plenty of free parking, both indoor and out. I love this place and i will definitely return. I love this place!

Mixed feelings about this property. By no means am I one of these picky travelers that thinks anything less than the Belagio is "slumming it." (Heck, I've never even stayed at the Belagio before!!)

I got a wonderful deal through price |ine for a Sunday night stay (27.00 w/ tax). But there is the "mandatory resort fee," which includes use of the pool, free airport shuttle, blah blah blah. By time I got dinged with the fees, it wasn't such a hot deal anymore. I could've stayed somewhere else and got a nicer room.

The room... yeah, let's talk about that. This is obviously their low-budget travelers quarters. You have to walk outside from the hotel lobby into a separate building. Dingy corridors, squeaky stairs (sorry, no elevators!!!), and a few flickering lights here and there. Still... not terribly bad. I didn't feel "unsafe" or anything. But when I got to the room and opened the door and I was like "OH MY GOD... WHO FORGOT TO FLUSH?!?" There was this incredibly foul odor coming from the bathroom (I guess the drain was backed up? The toilet was empty and everything was clean.) Normally I would have requested another room, but I was exhausted from a 5+ hour drive and having had very little sleep. I cranked up the A/C on high and closed the bathroom door. The bed was comfortable enough, but the sheets had a few little mystery stains (they had been washed), but the pillows were brand new.

Was this the worst experience I've ever had at a hotel? Mmm... no, not really. Was it the best? Definitely not!

The staff was friendly and helpful (what little interaction I had with them during check in/out). And they even threw in a pack (box?) of those premium M&M's and a "welcome kit" at checkin. (OOHHHH!!! FREEBIES!!!)

All things considered, make sure to read the fine print when you book here so you're not caught off guard. Yes, you WILL be charged a 16.95 resort fee for each day you're staying, regardless of whether or not you're using the pool or "free" shuttle. Scandal? Nah... That's sort of like American Airlines, JetBlue, Delta, etc. charging a "Fuel Surcharge." It's just another way for them to offer a "cheap up front price" and then add on their little hidden fees at the end to help make their profit margins. Deal with it or take your business somewhere else. It is what it is! :)

I was in Vegas for work, so I didn't get to choose my accomodations. Normally, I stay at Wynn, Bellagio or Venetian, so I knew I was in for an adventure, at the very least. If your priority is cost for the room ONLY, then this might be the place for you. The advertised rate is lower than the actual fee you end up paying. The hotel adds on service fees and and taxes which raises the price more than $20 additional dollars per night. Even at the business rate of $39 per night, this place was not worth it!
It is the SMOKIEST casino I have ever been in. Although I had a non-smoking room, the whole placed smelled like a dirty ashtray. A few good things: the rooms were surprisingly clean looking, and looked as if they had been recently updated. (I stayed in the Tower rooms at other reviewer's advice.) There was a flat screen television and a decent sized bathroom with hairdryer.
There are limited options for eating. There is a Starbucks downstairs, but it only serves muffins and breads. The gym is tiny and minimal - same goes for the pools. The median age there was approximately 55 years old. Not a very lively or hip crowd, but the hotel does not advertise itself as such. There is a bar, but no dance club of any sort. A cab ride to the Wynn on the strip was about $11 before tip. I left Palace Station whenever I could, but after sleeping there for a few nights, I developed a "smoker's cough". Yuck.
Overall, if you are looking for a really cheap room that is relatively clean, somewhat updated, and you aren't bothered by smoke or being off the strip, then you might consider staying here. I'm sure there are worse places to stay, but I don't plan on returning.
