Stayed at the Wild Wild West Gambling Hall and Hotel in Las Vegas enroute for the 'USA Road Trip 2008' that I was doing with friends which started at Las Vegas and was to finish back in Las Vegas two weeks later.
Booked into the Wild Wild West for two nights over a weekend. Due to our budget we were priced out by the Hotels on the Strip, so this Hotel was a cheap option.
I had read a few reviews here on Trip Advisor prior to my vacation and was getting a bit worried prior to arrival. Yes, the Hotel does look a bit shabby and in a bit of a dodgy area, with many unusual characters loitering around the Hotel. But on closer inspection, the Hotel is/or appears safe with plenty of Security personnel making sure these "unusual characters" are moved away from the Hotel.
Inside the Hotel, the rooms were a nice size and appeared clean, with a sign outside of the Hotel claiming that the rooms had recently been renovated. Anyway, it was clean and comfortable and I really couldn't fault the rooms.
Unfortunately, the rest of the Hotel brings the marks down. As with most City Centre Hotels, it was quite noisy both nights and mornings during my stay, with bangs, sirens and swearing completing a trio of noises.
The Hotel is located on W Tropicana Avenue, which if you are planning to walk to the Strip - take note!! You'll have to run the gauntlet of running accross the grass banks or Highways and generally risking your life being hit by a Dodge or Chevvy. Luckily I found a reasonably safe route on my way back from the Strip - email us if you wish me to map the route out for you, or work it out yourself if you're brave enough!!
My major gripe with this Hotel was with its Casino, which I found extremely small and smoky. Although the $3 Black Jack and plentyful amount of drinks did take my mind off these for a temporary basis.
Overall, for a two night stay in Las Vegas it did the trick to a certain extent. If you want the luxury of Treasure Island or Paris, then pay $$$ to stay there during a weekend, if you want somewhere cheap, stay at the Wild Wild West - it's not that bad!!
