This was our home base for girls' weekend in Vegas.  We chose this hotel because it was super cheap, and knowing we wouldn't be there too much, we decided to save some duckets.  \n\nThis hotel is a little older, and pretty \"ghetto\" in comparison to those actually on the strip (Caesar's Palace, Mirage, MGM Grand, etc.).  Nothing fancy, the decor is pretty standard, and the shopping floor consisted mostly of Las Vegas gift shops.  \n\nThe room was just a standard hotel room, with one small sink.  A big disappointment was the lack of a mini fridge.  We had to buy a Styrofoam cooler at a nearby 7-11 to keep our beverages cold.  But the beds were big and very comfy.\n\nMost of our days were spent at the pool, which they actually have 2.  The one on the 8th floor is all ages, and the one on the 25th floor is over 21.  Both pools were very lackluster, with no vegetation, slides, diving boards, or anything.  We spent the first day at the 8th floor one...tried to bring in our own vodka beverages, only to be denied and had to chug them before entering.  This was the bigger of the two pools, with lots of lawn chairs for laying out.  \n\nThe adult pool allows outside beverages in, but is much smaller with significantly less chairs.  However, it was never crowded, so finding a spot was pretty easy.  The downside of this pool (for me) was the 'bathing suit top optional' situation.  It just seemed to be a magnet for creepy older guys, who would just sit there and stare at all the boobs (even though most of them were not stare-worthy).  The bartender at the poolside bar would make little daiquiris and margaritas to pass out several times throughout the day, which was very nice.  \n\nThe one advantage of staying in a comparatively \"ghetto\" hotel, was that the food options were pretty cheap.  We had breakfast at Lucky's Cafe every morning.  The service was great, and the food reasonably priced.  They had a $5.99 breakfast deal available 24-hours a day, and lunch special for $6.99 available 11am-6pm.  They also have a 50's style diner that we ate lunch at twice.  The diner also had a special for people staying at the hotel: $7.99 for a cheeseburger, fries, and drink.  \n\nThe casino floor was pretty standard, although I did have good luck with the blackjack tables there (with the help of my fellow gamblers and the dealers).  We didn't gamble too much there, but when we did I rarely saw a cocktail waitress.  \n\nOverall, I felt we definitely got what we paid for.  If you're wanting to save some money on the hotel, and don't mind cabbing it to the strip (about a $10 ride) then this would be a good fit for you.  Next time, I'll probably shell out some more money to stay somewhere a bit nicer.
