I have mixed feelings about this place so I'll just tell it like it is. The room we had offered a lovely view of a brick building, okay, but for the price no complaints, yet. Until we went to the restroom and realized that when we flushed the toilet it came up through the sink. GROSS. no place to brush teeth, wash hands, etc. maintenance came the next day and said the problem was fixed, but it was not. Happened for all three nights we were there. Also, we had reserved a non-smoking room but were put in a smoking room and staff said they could not change it b/c they were full. So, that lovely smell lingered in our room for the whole trip. On the last night, the A/C went out and my boyfriend, furious by this point, demanded a new room. The room we were switched to, to sleep for 2 hours before catching a flight home, was lovely. No problems, no smoking and a toilet that worked. If we had this room to begin with my review would be much different, as you can imagine.

Upside: the pool on the roof was nice but there was no towel service up there as promised. It was also great to have a subway in the lobby for sub-emergencies. And, the hotel is walking distance to the main Street plaza which has a great champagne buffett. If I return to Vegas I'll still stay downtown but probably try Golden nugget or something.

Tip: there's a bus that runs from downtown to the strip for only $10 for an all day pass. best deal around.

The Plaza was dirty and run down. The Sports Book was full of local vagrants that took all the seats. The staff was not friendly,the rooms had no extras,such as hair dryer,and they give no free drinks at the Sports Book. I made several $500 plus wagers and was told they give no free drink coupons. Thats OK,because it was a bad experience,and I will NEVER go back.
Next they let local prostitutes hang out at the Sports Bar,and I was propisitioned a few times. I go to Vegas once a month,and this was the worst. Spend your money elsewhere.

If you want the status Bellago keep looking.... If your seaking the grandure of the venition, it's not here. The "hip" of the Palms? Sorry try again.

But if your looking for a clean room in a great down town location and don't mind an A/C that can wake the dead look here. The Plaza is what it is... An old down town hotel that still cares for it's customers even though it's rooms have long since run out of luck.

Would I recomment it... yes the views are stunning and the rates are passible. But if your looking to inpress or it's first time to Vegas you may want to upgrade. But if you done the circut and are looking for something more low key and affordable look no further for the plaza is clean, confortable, & convientiant.... nothing more.... But really what more is there.
