Room Quality
The "Deluxe" rooms, which are all the rooms that are
not suites, are starting to show their age. The bathrooms are
standard, with older fixtures in many. We have heard claims that
they are renovating the rooms, but we have yet to hear from a
single person who has seen a renovated room. The carpet and furniture
are getting threadbare. Built in the late eighties, the Atrium
Suites are much nicer than the standard rooms. While still not
luxurious, they are large and can easily sleep four in two different
areas. They have two TVs, two phones, wet bars, and larger bathrooms.
The atrium suites make up the tallest tower on the property,
and have the best views. They can be had for a few extra bucks
every night. The location is North Strip, close to the Fashion
Show Mall and the Stardust.
Service Quality:
Fair, and with an attitude. You're gonna be hard-pressed to find
friendly workers in this place. Maybe they just don't have any
practice at it since the place is usually so quiet. There is
room service and check-in can be a long wait during rush hour.
They really don't go out of their way for your comfort, so if
you don't like being on your own, you may want to try elsewhere.
What You Get Bottles
of in the Bathroom: Shampoo, conditioner. They
really don't care if you smell better than the stale-smoke odor
in the casino.
Clientele:
Middle-aged. If you want to avoid obnoxious young people, this
is the place to do it. The casino and hotel are usually pretty
quiet.
How's the pool?
It's okay, but what's amazing about it is that its construction
predates massive lawsuits, so it actually has a deep end. Where
most new Las Vegas pools are only three feet deep, this one goes
to twelve feet. The diving board has been removed, however.
Free Shuttle:
Sorry, no free shuttle to anywhere. (For complete free shuttle
info and schedules buy our guide--it's only $4)
