I was here twice in a short period of time.  Its one of my hotels of choice.  Its at the start of the strip and (this actually appeals to me) the hotel itself seemed quieter.  On Friday and again on Monday, the crowd was only slightly different but it could have also been due to the time I visited which was the weekend before thanksgiving.  I also recommend signing up on mlife.com, I did get some discounts on the room and I presume I'll get points of some type.\n\nFriday Visit - It was fairly quiet.  Not a whole lot going on anywhere.  I went to one of the restaurant's between this hotel and Luxor (review for RiRa separate) and otherwise I walked around, there wasn't a whole lot of life, gambled a little and went back to my room.  If there was more going on I think I would have been more inclined to gamble more.  I liked the room choice but it was not what I selected online.  I choose a king bed and when I checked in I was told they only had two queen's unless I wanted to pay to upgrade.  I understand there might be some fine print saying \"as available\" but in the digital age its silly to me that they overbook their types of rooms and then charge me to change it.  Having said that though, the $50 upgrade in my opinion was nice, I got a view of the strip and the airport and the design of the room had a nice table seating area.  Of my two visits I liked this room more and I paid more for my second room.\n\nMonday visit - I expected this to be more mild and it was.  I had an enjoyable time but after grabbing some food, did a little gambling and then headed back. I paid for a better room this night but ended up stuck on the back side of the hotel at the very end of a very long hall.  The room was nice overall but it lacked outlets at the desk (standard two but one had the lamp, the nearest was some distance away, for a desk for work it should have been closer).  Overall I was happy with it just the one with the table, airport and strip view was better.\n\n\nOverall, the place is nice and clean.  I like that its more resort and less wild casino but would like for more people to visit.  All the action is definitely in the center of the strip and having a quieter experience is cool but at the same time, little action on the floor didn't really incentivize gambling.
