just got back last night-even in december vegas is jumping-here
is a view from our room #1814-decent room with a fridge, iron,
hairdryer-these rooms are not fancy like the golden nugget but
they are large & clean-saw their show 'viva las vegas'-they give
you a 2 for $5 show ticket at check in-cute show thats at 2 & 4 in
the afternoon-there is a mc donalds in the hotel that you can get
free coffee refills within 30 minutes-opens at 4am-best dinner
value downtown is at the california hotel(2 blocks away)-you can
get a fabulous $7.25 prime rib rinner with salad bar & cherries
jubilee-for a good breakfast buffet you only pay $5.25 at the
california hotel-best value downtown-we finally got to ellis island
for their $5 steak but now it is $7 but it includes a 20 ounce beer-
excellent steak also-new years eve they are charging $60 to get
in the freemont experience we found out-that's got to be fun in
vegas for new years eve-we love staying downtown, but we always get a rental car to go all around in the day-this trip we went to red rock canyon-so very beautiful-we had a wonderful
stay this trip-hope to be back in may 2008, god willing!!!!!

  • Liked — price is reasonable & it has a great location right downtown
  • Disliked — we like everything about the plaza, just don't be fussy-stay somewhere more expensive-

We stayed at the Plaza on a Friday night in October. This was a planned trip and the next three nights we stayed up on the strip. The Plaza location is great right at the end of Freemont Street. Our room overlooked the street, but you really couldn't see a whole lot because of the roof. Check in was fast, but the clerk was very short with us, and didn't have much of a sense of humor. The room was very clean, but also very outdated. The bathroom was very small and old. The Casino was a real suprise. I really liked the casino, of course it always helps when you win. We ate at the $7.77 buffet. The food was ok, especially for the price. The only real bad thing I can say about the Plaza was the elevators. We were on one of the top floors and with only one bank of elevators that stopped at almost every floor, the wait was a long one. Overall I would say the Plaza is good, considering what you pay for. If you are used to staying in the fancy hotels on the strip, you may want to avoid this one.

Loved staying downtown, but oh, the poor decrepit Plaza. Good price, divey hotel. Poker and Bingo staff rock! Will stay at the Golden Nugget or Binions next time, though.

We came to the Plaza from the Monte Carlo as MC was putting their prices up by 3x over the weekend!

I love the location of this place, Freemont St is just as good as the strip but if it's a first time you do need to do both.

The room was fine, a bit worn but very big and spacious, clean and cool. For £20 a night it's excellent, the location is more than worth that!

There's a pool on the roof which is fairly grotty, like a roof with a pool and some plastic loungers, that's it, but it's good enough for catching some sun and having a dip. Really we used the hotel very little, it was really just for sleeping in and the pool for sleeping next to!

I'm sure there are other hotels in Freemont that offer similar accomodation for the price but really i'd say it's a no frills, bargain. Perfect for stag/hen or group of friends or if you don't plan to spend too much time in the room as it is basic.

It was perfect for us to stay 3 nights in a more expensive place on the strip then move to Freemont for the best of both worlds. I pperfer the atmosphere around Freemont myself and the closeness to the amazing Bay city diner at the Golden Gate which is a must - truly amazing steak dinner for a few quid!!

I wouldn't want to pay more than £40 a night though i've paid £90 for a similar standard in England! I'd definately rather stay here than a nicer hotel away from the action for the same price.
