We have been visiting Vegas 2 or 3 times a year for 20+ years and this was our first stay at the MGM. We received an internet offer of 3 comped weekend nights and some free play, so we decided to take up their offer. Check-in was smooth and quick and our room was just off the main lobby and close to the elevator. Room was dated but clean and everything was working. The only service problems we encountered was at the Studio Cafe which I suggest you avoid. No problems at any of the other restaurants and bars we visited. We did not like the heavy fragrance in the Casino but it didn't stop us from enjoying our visit.

The check in was bad. Clerk argued that we needed to pay extra for a lake view room. I stated that one
had already been paid for and asked her to check to reservation. She stated that the reservation did not
show one had been paid for. I asked for the manager, immediately she found a lake view room.
The bed sucked. We asked for another room with a better bed. According to the front desk there was
no other lake view room with a better bed. Yea right.
The bellman that brought up the bags noticed that we had booze with us and iced it down before
bringing it to the room. That was a nice touch and got him a tip.
Overall it was probably our worst room and worst hotel we have stayed in during one of our stays in
LV.
The wife says that the problem was that we stayed at the Wynn for the first 3 nights and then checked
into Paris the final 3. She maintains that had it been the other way around we would not have expected
the same level of competence and service that we did coming from and being spoiled by the Wynn.
We will never stay or gamble at Paris or any other Harrah' owned casino again.

From the time we got out of the car at valet until the time we left everyone made us feel welcome.
The staff is great. The restaurants a little on the high side but the food was great!
Casino as really nice with good table games and 9/6 video poker at $1 and up. Drink service was good.
The buffet was really nice, bright and good food, awesome sushi and crab legs.
We love the place and will return.

Great, spacious rooms....clean casino....great buffet and friendly staff! Oh and the food court is excellent
too!! The value is one of the best and I have stayed in at least 11 different places. They impressed me so
much that I purposely came here to write a review.

Checkin was pretty fast at 4pm on a Monday. Room was clean. Staff was friendly as always. Slots were pretty good but they could use some of the newer one's.
Food service was good and food was good. Great location and as always a nice place to stay.

Update: I love this place. Have received several offers for free or $39/night rooms, which we've taken advantage of. Would rather stay here than any other place in Las Vegas.
These are probably the nicest rooms I’ve stayed in while in Las Vegas. Big TV, another TV in the bathroom, great shower area and great views are some of the highlights. I did think it odd that they didn’t have a coffee maker, while their sister property Green Valley Ranch did.
As with most Station Casinos, the casino is very nice and one wouldn’t need to leave the property if they didn’t want to with all the dining, recreation and gaming options.
The spa is awesome, and I suggest you take advantage of it if you stay here, as I believe there is an unavoidable resort fee added (even if you're comped in some cases).

What can you say, stay at most places on the strip and this is by far the best. Service is wonderful and you
can leave the hustle and bustle of the strip hotel behind. Best Pool by a mile. Would stay there everytime if
I could afford to. Worth it once just to sample how the other half live.

Stayed at the end of May 2009 during mid week for three nights. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The main reason we stayed here was the location and the package deal offered. Grand tower for $55 ( $65 for the night of Memorial day) with the buffet included. Yep, breakfest, lunch, and dinner. Would stay here again.

Just got back from a stay at Mandalay Bay. It's a really nice hotel. Pool area was nice. Hotel service was great. Since it's the southern most property on the Strip, we had to take cabs to get around. CAUTION: CAB SERVICE ON THE STRIP IS SHADY AT BEST. It cost us $18.90 to get from MB to the Hard Rock. Even though this destination is 2.2 miles NE, the cab driver started south, then headed west, then north and finally east. $9 later we were no closer than when we started. We told him to start with how we wanted to get there but he just went about it the roundabout way. It was pretty much false imprisonment and if there isn't a law in Nevada against this, there should be.

This was about our 5th time staying here. It was a bit spotty on the maid service this time. No bath towels when we moved into our room. Then some days 3 towels other days one. There doesn't seem to be much maid follow up inspection being done. Buffet was good as usual even better were free buffets if you got 200 points on Mondays (had to over 50 years old) and free buffet on Thursdays with 250 points.(This was their May special deals) Very good deals considering points like this wouldn't even earn you a dollar normally (I think you need about 1000 points for 1 dollar cash back). Played nickel poker for about an hour to get points for free buffets.
Stayed in the older rooms but they were clan as usual. We love the location since we normally have a car and the Gold Coast provides you good access for where we wanted to go.
Gambling was OK. Machines seem a little tighter in the current recession.
All in all a good stay.

Stayed here as a special treat to ourselves for our 25th wedding anniversary. We stayed 2 nights as part of a promotion we were mailed, 2 nights for $129 per night and you get $150 in slot credits. This was the first two nights of a 12 night stay in Las Vegas. Room was great all the gizmo's you could want controlled from a panel beside the bed. Beautiful decor and design. Speaking of gizmo's watch out for the mini snack bar (items removed from their sensor pads for more that 60 seconds are automatically charged to your room).
But now for the bad news. We were on the 20th floor looking out over the pool area (no problem with that) As we go to retire that night about 1:30 am (Sunday night) I lay down and it sounds like I am in a cheap hotel and someone is having a dance party in the next room. I put my ear to the mirrored wall and nothing from the room next door. I look down at the pool area, nothing going on down there. I call down to the front desk and find out the XS nightclub is in full gear and leaves it doors open to the pool area channeling that euro dance beat non stop until 4:00 in the morning. OH JOY. They offer to move us, but my wife says she is not packing up to move at this time of night. She tells me suck it up princess and go to sleep. I get to sleep at about 4:00 am after the music stops. The next night, same stuff. I would be very upset if I paid full price and especially if I had a room at a lower floor where the sound must have been louder yet. I complain at checkout also and I am informed they know about the problem. My question is what are they going to do about it.
Now to the gambling (or should I say the red card club). We played our credits and made some money on our credits. No problem there. I was a new card member so after getting a certain number of points you get to spin the wheel to get a prize, the lowest prize being $10 slot play which of course I get (and probably so does 98% of other spinners). I am not upset with this this is to be expected. Now the red card club employee says if I give him an email address he will increase it to $20 slot credit. So I give him one of my crap email addresses that I hardly use. Then we leave to spend the rest of our stay at our other hotel (Gold Coast) and plan to come back next week sometime to play my slot credits. So we come back next about a week later and guess what? No slot credits. A nearby slot attendant informs me that credits expire 72 hour after being applied (she also implied in a snarky tone that everyone knows that). We, of course were never informed about this. Bitched and complained for about half an hour and finally got credits reinstated. We played them and then got the hell out of Dodge (probably never to return)
So if you stay here get a room facing away from the pool and make sure thy explain all the rules about credits.

SLow service in restruant and some dealers can't smile or talk. One elderly one kept dropping the chips. There is a new parking facility but they have not put in van accessible handicapped parking, a federal requirement or handicapped for side-lift vans, another category added by Nevada law. Inside, they place signs on the floor that leave less than 3 feet of clearance and wheelchairs cannot pass. When asked about it one employee said talk to security, but they didn't know. When one employee was asked to move a sign when I stated this was a federal requirement, she said no one tells the casino what to do and walked off laughing. Very user unfriendly for the handicapped and they should avoid until changes are made.

Undecided on whether to rate a good visit or undecided,but the service inclined me to go with good visit.Bally's has possibly the best location on the strip.Bally's has very large, clean rooms...and ours was recently renovated (thus the "deluxe" moniker)But our particular room #860, had the worst view of any place we have ever been in Sin City.The windows were absolutely filthy, surely due to the fact that they cuold only be cleaned by some out of work Cirque performer climbing on the roof that the room "overlooked".Aside from the view, the hotel has it's act together.Classic Vegas meets hip Tequila Bar!!!

We had a comp offer to Main Street Station but for the dates we selected they were full, so attempted to put us up at California. That also failing because the Cal was also full, reservations were made for us at the Fremont. We have been customers of MSS for years and this has happened once before when we call at the last minute, so we accepted the move. We arrived to inattentive desk clerks who informed us that we'd been placed in a smoking room, contrary to our requests. When we protested the answer was essentially "It's the last room, take it or leave it". OK, we were arriving at 11PM, but still - at least pretend to look in the computer to see if there's anything else available. Upon opening the door (room 721) we were assaulted by a blast of stale smoke odor of similar density to a cigar smoker blowing into your face. Since we had every hope of getting things straighted out at MSS, we dropped bags, stopped at the desk again to ask for anything else and got the same answer - no. But a tour operator near the desk heard our plea and told us that a big group was leaving the next morning and a bunch of rooms would open up at 9AM. So we went to MSS to escape the stench. While there we asked our host and the front desk if we had any other possible options - even a hotel hop between Cal and MSS different nights - but to no avail. But the host did promise to call over to Fremont and get Housekeeping to air out the room, and to do what she could to get them to open up another room the next day.
After a few hours we returned and found the room had improved to barely tolerable so decided to catch a couple hours sleep. At 8 I got up and used the facilities, and found a live cockroach in the bathroom. At 8:45 the desk clerk was getting my full attention. Whether due to host intervention, the day shift clerk being a reasonable person or the movement of the tour group, rooms were available. So they moved us to 1426. This room was without cockroaches and the odor of smoke was far less, so we were reasonably satisfied.
The casino offered nothing of interest to us as there were no video poker games with worthwhile pay tables. For a diversion at one point I went down and played a few dollars on Pick-em, a game only available at Fremont, but 99.5% of our play was elsewhere. On the way to and from the Pick-em game, though, I was treated to the Fremont security guards harrassing a gentleman about sitting in a Keno chair when the Keno games were not being played.
Overall, my impression is of a run-down place that you go to only if you don't know better or are forced to go to when your intended reservation runs awry. I'd never pay money to stay there, and there are far better games within a couple blocks walk.

Spent 4days/3nights at The Paris and enjoyed every minute of it, check in took all of about 5 minutes as we arrived on a Tuesday around 11 a.m., bell service was fast and friendly as was the check in person. We were given a room on the 16th floor and it was clean and well prepared. Spent several hours at the pool area during the trip and found that drink service is very good, and the pool area was kept clean during the day as people were always picking up the wet towels or re-stacking the chairs. Ate at Mon Ami Gabi (on the patio) and there too the service was excellent and attentive, also ate at the cafe, buffet, and bakery several time during our stay and found the food to be of high quality, and the service beyond reproach, someone was always asking if everything was good and if we had any problems. The entire area of the Paris was always clean and well attended, drink service at the pool and casino were excellent, the only issue during this whole trip are the crowd of sleazebags between Paris and Bally's or Planet Hollywood "snapping" and handing out flyers for "Girls direct to your room" they approach anyone and everyone with their junk and most of the time it appears to find its way to the street creating a HUGE litter problem, between this and the sales people coming onto you as you enter or leave the neighboring casinos this was a very enjoyable trip. I only mention these 2 issues as a warning to other visitors and it does not reflect badly on the Paris, THIS PROPERTY WAS TOP NOTCH AND WILL BE FIRST ON OUR LIST OF PLACES TO STAY AGAIN IN VEGAS. Do yourself a favorite and give this place a look next time you're planning a stay in Vegas and judge it for yourself, you might be surprised.

Good visit. The hotel is aging a bit. My bathroom sink was slow, the thermostat was off, but A/C was still adequate. However, the location is great, the casino is friendly, the restaurants, especially the buffet, are still good. I won at the craps tables.

First off let me say I put good visit because any visit to vegas is good LOL , even when i'm losing. I am one of those people who say the money lost is the cost of my vacation so it's all worth it. This was my first time staying at harrahs and my wife and I were looking forward to going to a different casino as we always stayed at Tropicana,The new frontier and The Desert Inn before their demise. We hoped that maybe we could find a casino that we enjoyed to play and stay at as much as we loved the old Desert Inn, but this wouldn't be it. It was a nice casino with good rooms that we were happy with but we had a hard time enjoying our time in the casino and so we started searching elsewhere for prospective places to go. My biggest complaint with Harrahs was lack of comps while we were there and the music was a little too loud for me but I could get past that if I had too. Overall everything was good at harrahs just not my type of place. I would recommend to others if I was asked but I will be trying another place in May 09

Was very pleasantly surprised with The Luxor, as we had heard not so good things, especially after reading ratings from this site, but we were there for a business event that was held on the premises. Stayed in a Tower Room and upon check-in was offered an upgrade for a nominal fee for a suite, which we took advantage of and are so glad we did! The suite was very spacious, nicely decorated and clean. We understood they had redecorated the rooms somewhat recently and the suite was very nice. The staff was exceptional too, as everyone we encountered was very helpful and friendly. The onsite restaurants were ok, the buffet not so great but then again we went to the buffet at Mandalay Bay also and that wasn't very good either...I guess once you've hit the ones at the Bellagio and Paris you really can't compare. The steakhouse at The Luxor, Tender, we thought was very overrated also and the service not very attentive. However, again since we were at The Luxor for a business event, we enjoyed several meals from the catering department and the food was EXCELLENT, which is usually the very much the opposite - so kudos to The Luxor's events department! My one major complaint with The Luxor is the location, which is at the very end of the strip. The hotels that are adjacent to it, The Excalibur (which was disgusting) and Mandalay Bay (which was ok) are not that impressive. Otherwise, if you don't mind walking the strip A LOT or taking advantage of taxis (as the monorail isn't available that far at the end of the strip) the you might want to give the Luxor a chance - it certainly gave us a really pleasant surprise! Or if you are planning a business event, as their staff made everything run smoothly and the food was fantastic! For a strictly pleasure trip though, we'll stick with The Paris or Bellagio as we love their locations much better.

Encore is beautiful. We've stayed at Wynn several times since it opened 4 years ago and wanted to try their
new addition. I spend way too much time looking online at pictures and reviews before I travel to Las
Vegas so when I walked into our suite (standard room at Encore) I was really impressed. I'd seen it on the
Encore website but the pictures just didn't look nearly as nice as in person! They are really spacious and
decorated very tastefully. If you are the type that truly only sleeps in the hotel room, then no need
staying at Encore or Wynn. But if like us you spend more time in the room in Las Vegas, Encore is a great
choice. The service throughout the entire Wynn resort is second to none! We'll definitely be back.

This was our first visit to Las Vegas and it was great! Our room in the tower was very nice and updated! The bed very comfortable and the room had two places to set up a laptop for late at night relaxing. Our request for a coffemaker and extra towels was not a problem. Checkin and checkout was fast and easy. Everyone was nice and very friendly. We took advantage of the free shuttle to and from the airport and also the free shuttle to and from the strip. Even the shuttle drivers were friendly. We like the different choices of restaurants at the hotel. We ate at the buffet 3 times, Grand Cafe two times late at night, and at Cabo's once. All were great! Our only complaint was at the buffet the morning we had breatfast. Not very good service but the place was very very busy so was expected. If you like Mexican you have to try out Cabo's. It was absolutley wonderful!! Fast service, Friendly, and the food was delicious!! We has the steak fajitas and it was more than we could eat. If we ever get to make another trip to Vegas we will definitely stay here again!

I was a guest at Harrah's from April 26th - April 30th, 2009. Rate Las Vegas needs to update their month visited selection. I arrived earlier than expected, the room that I requested wasn't available at that time but a more than suitable substitute was. It was on the 20th floor of the Carnival Tower. (2033). It was a partial view of the strip. The room apperared to be cleaned and housekeeping kept up with it daily. Towels were replenished. The utilities worked well. Excellent water preasure for the shower and toilette, as well as hot water. The floor noise level was minimal. The only exception was the nightly eruption of the volcano in fron of the Mirage which was loud but a great event to watch. I took several pictures from my room. The elevators were quick and never a long wait wae experienced. The free shuttles to the other Harrah's properties to the rear of the hotel were of a great mode of transportation. The Check in/Out staff were courteous and expedient. The casino floor staff: Cocktail servers/security and slot attendents were satisfactory. The Dueling Pianos Bar and The Legends in Concert are a must to see. I utilized the Flavors buffet located in Harrah's and no complaints as there was a large selection to choose from. The Carnival Court is another must to see as it is always lively. The casino floor seemed to have a many players at all times of the day/night. Not much won in jackpots but this is Vegas now. I suggest joining their " Total Rewards " program for comps. My whole trip was comped from them. I will definately be staying at Harrah's on my next visit to Vegas.

Received an excellent offer thru our rewards program. Stayed in the Islan Tower, long walk to casino but if you rent a car you can enter hotel thru rear parking lot and save steps. At this visit the video-poker machines had full payouts for nickel/quarter play, however upon returning last January I could not find the same caliber of machines. The poker room is small but they do offer a nightly tournament. The aftrenoon magic show is good and a great value with 2-4-1 coupons. Folies Bergere was a marvelous show and it will be sorely missed. The room was clean and had all the necessaties incl an in-room safe. The view from the room was spectacular, same view from the outside elevators. The drink service was less than impressive with the exception of one waitress on the midnight shift who was above and beyond. The coffee shop is a decent value , food good, prices pretty fair and the service was fine. In summary, if you arrive here with a happy disposition, you'll get a good value at an older yet still vibrant property. If you have high expectations, try a newer place.

Nice size rooms, friendly staff, great values at the coffee shop. Thought the fireplace in the lobby was a lovely touch. Staff friendly and attentive, good deal for their slot club. Enjoyed the tournaments in their poker room, but wouldn't recommend playing cash games late at night as their clientele was drunk and disorderly. Other than that, had an enjoyable visit. Felt the hotel was a good value and will be staying there again.

just returned from staying at IP....to start off with, there was good with all the bad. The bell hop people are great and give good service. The person that checked us in was super. The male that runs the Keno needs some people skills, the gal there was extra helpful and did a fine job. The hostess in the restaurant sure did not like her job, if reflected in her face and the service there was rediculously slow, however the food was good. We were going to eat at the Burger place but one look at it changed our mind, went to Harrah's instead. The Casino is in rough shape and should be torn down, it really was a dump. Plan on waiting if you need to take the elavators, they go at only one pace ant that is slow and you spend more time waiting than anything. Our room was on the 13th floor, which was ok with our group since they were able to get us all on one floor (thanks to the check in person). Our room was just ok to say the least, it was spacious however not the cleanest. I guess for the price, we got what we paid for, next time I will spend a little more and stay at a more updated place. The last time we visited we stayed at Harrah's and will probably do so again in the future...

Checkin was a breeze, arrived @ 10:00 am was given a room (by my request)in the refurbished Ipanema Tower. Nice oversized room, comfortable and very clean, with a nice view of the pool. All hotel employees were very friendly and accomodating. Never had trouble getting a drink at any time on the casino floor. Casino was not too crowded, had a nice assortment of slots and table games with limits that were not too high. All in all very comfortable and well worth the prices online. Have already planned another stay for August!! :)

Didn't stay here, but played here.
The casino is what Vegas used to look like when we first started coming, in my opinion. Glitzy, fun, flashy and busy. Large variety of machines too.
HOWEVER, it incredibly LOUD!!!!!! Not sure if they are attempting to be the loudest or what...it's like there is just noise filtering through everywhere and you aren't sure where it's coming from.
Machines were very tight. Drink service not so great and drinks not that great either.
Casino very tight, but again, seems more like "Vegas" than other properties. Would consider staying here.

What a boring renovation to this hotel!
While the outside of Planet Hollywood looks inviting, I found it to be BORING inside. Decor is bland. The pink heartshaped pit things look misplaced. Not a good selection of machines. TIGHT too. Was very surprised to see it looking so boring in the casino. Most interesting sight was the lights on the ceiling that change color. YAWN! Expected it to be fun and exciting, but like others around me, found it boring. Was better when it was the Aladdin! Drink service here too was poor. Appears the best drink service is really at the MGM properties.

Was disappointed that so much has changed since our last visit...as we were with the other properties as well. There seems to be less glitz, less machines and no payouts. Tight, tight, tight! That stinks.
My machine tilted and it took nearly 30 minutes for anybody to come fix it, even though the people who do so were standing less than 10 ft away chatting with each other. That did not make me happy. Nothing spectacular here at all...rather mundane casino. No drink service either

Drink service does not exist here. Wow....I never saw one drink person the entire time and people were complaining to dealers at every table about it. Crazy!
Dealers that are supposed to look like celebs is a cute idea and fun.
Casino needs an overhaul. It's looking very run down and shabby and it's almost impossible to get to. You have to walk through throngs of people and peddlers in order to arrive at the casino enterance. Yuck.
Table limits are great though, compared to other properties. If you want to play for fun, they have $5 roulette, $5 black jack, etc.

Didn't stay here but played here.
Slots very high tight at Caesars and the casino has changed so much. I didn't like it. It was smaller than I remember it to be and the Pussycat Doll pit really doesn't match with the theme of the resort and frankly, looks silly. Drink service was below average. Looks like Caesars is more interested in spreading out all over the strip rather than tending to their casino/gaming areas. Lot of dirty machines as well as out of service machines while we were there.
Would like to eventually stay here one day...we try to stay at a different property each visit, but won't stay there our next trip until I re-visit.

Just returned from a four night stay at the Mirage. All was well with the hotel itself. Clean rooms, easy check in, easy check out. Comps were good! We are not high rollers by any means...but between myself and my husband we played probably $2500 or more at the MGM properties and ended up getting all food and drinks comped off our bill. That was great and we were happy about that!
Had lunch at the Carnegie Deli the day we arrived. While the food was good, the sandwhiches are HUGE. No way a person can eat an entire one alone. You can't even pick it up, you have to cut it up. They are $20 or more each and they charge you $3 more if you wish to order just one and share it. That's crazy. You can't take part of it with you, as you cannot use the fridge in your room for your personal things, nor can you move anything without being charged. Wouldn't recommend eating in the Carengie, buy it and eat it elsewhere! Ha!
Kokomo's Steak House has wonderful food, but is very, very pricey as everything is ala carte. The prime rib is as big as your head! Totally worth the money, but this too, you'll never finish. Order the filet, it is more manageable. The buffet was not impressive. Food was often slightly warm, choices small, and sometimes near empty and not soon to be replaced. We did eat there for breakfast each morning though as it was fast, okay, and there.
Saw Terry Fator while there. He was fantastic! Would highly recommend seeing this very talented person.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms very small. The housekeeping service evidently begins at 8 am. Did not appreciate door knocks at 8 am. Should have put the sign up, but didn't realized the maids would be knocking at 8 am. They'd knock at 8 am too, but oddly, the rooms weren't ever cleaned before 1. Housekeeping "forgot" to add new towels and washclothes into our room so had to call for those at 3 am. They were brought up promptly.
Drink service is the best here. Visited almost all strip properties as we usually do while in Vegas, and Mirage and MGM had the best drink service. Always somebody there bringing or asking.
Slots are VERY tight. That was disappointing. I don't care if I win buckets of money, but it is nice to win enough to keep playing. That didn't seem to really happen anywhere. The entire four day stay I only saw one hand pay of $1200. I did win money here and there, as did my husband, but not the way we used to in Vegas. No you cannot win everytime or even expect to win, but it was obvious that things are tight throughout. Table games like Craps and Roulette are crowded. Table limits are okay, but I myself enjoy playing Roulette with $5-$15 table limits. Didn't see many of those and those I did see were crowded. Went over to MGM Grand and Imperial Palace to play tables. Lots of lower limits.
Too many kids in this hotel. I will NEVER understand why people bring their children to Vegas. If you're there for a wedding or some other event, stay in a HOTEL, not a resort. Drinking, smoking, gambling, prostitutes....really...I know I didn't appreciate tripping over kids here and there. Take your children to Disney and stay at a resort...not in Vegas. So crazy. There seemed to be a lot of kids at the Mirage compared to other properties we visited this trip.
All and all, great stay at the Mirage!

I reserved a room at Whiskeys before reading any reviews. The rate was $43.00 and I was worried because one review had said it was dirty. We went anyways and decided if it wasn't up to our standards we would not stay. The room was very clean, no amenities but for the price we were only sleeping in it anyways. There were no restaurants open except McDonalds. That was ok because we just drove over to Buffalo Bills to eat. All in all not bad at all for the price I'd be willing to try it again.

This hotel is the class A hotel for the average income couple. We have stayed ther two times and each time we were treated like high rollers. The best deal is the Gold Card deal. Now this rate is very low because you are downtown but you are treated like you are in one of the upscale hotels on the strip. The view is not that great but we are never in the room that long except to sleep and freshen up. The Golden Nugget has a beautiful pool and as you swim sharks go right above you in this really nice fish tank. For the price it is a deal.

We have stayed at the Paris twice and will return on Sept.20th. for another five day stay. We are getting four of the five nights comped because of our off and on slot play and being members of Total Rewards. We love this hotel . The location is great the employees go out of their way to make your stay a nice one. The guy who cried and moaned and cried again about the unblocked porn on his tv must have either been drunk or had a bad gambling week because we have NEVER had any problem like that. The room were all nice sizes and the higher you were the better the view. We only stay at either the Bellagio or the Paris on the strip and the Golden Nugget if we are downtown.

We arrived on the 31st of March and left on the 7th of April.Check in was a breeze(we had prepaid thru Air Canada). originally were put in a room with 2 double beds but had paid for a deluxe suite. Took 2 minutes to explain and get new room.
We were on the 1st floor right across from 3 water fountains. Wonderful room . Very clean(although the carpet could have used a steam clean). we had a room with a double bed and a sofa ,tv ,coffee table and armoire and a connecting room with a king size bed. bath and toilet in a room ,sink seperate and big open closet with ironing board and iron.
Have to say the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I've been in ,in Vegas. Didn't have to adjust to it at all. the TV in the main room sucked ,but the other room was good.
we needed a fride as we were both diabetic and it was delivered within the hour.
All staff were friendly and courteous and there is security around the buildings. In the courtyard were 2 pagodas,1 with chairs and 1 with loungers(by the pool)
Food in the Sourdough Cafe was excellent and the morning buffet was great. Was a little disappointed with the evening buffet.
the entertainment in the lounge was very good.
All in all we would stay here again.

My wife and I have stayed/played at the Stratosphere over 6 times in the past few years, we always go back! The Casino Host-Christina and the rest of the staff have always been friendly & eager to please. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The restuarants are good and inexpensive. The Casino is fun and rewarding. More than once I have put $20 into a machine and played for hours only to cash out at several hundred. The drink staff can be slow but if you flip them $5 dollars instead of the normal buck your glass will never be empty. Even though it does not sit in the middle of the strip it is an effortless walk to everywhere. I mean, how do you experience Vegas sitting in the back seat of a cab anyway? The nice thing about the Stratosphere is the player comp program. The level of play is set very low to start earning great rewards. Example: We are now offered a VIP suite (3 nights), limo to//from airport, $300 gaming money, food comps and show tickets. No, I am not a high roller just play slots. I always stay at the Stratosphere and strongly recommend it to my family & friends. Ironically, I have already booked a 5 night trip over the 4th of July for our family of 5 which includes 3 children.

Great time just like the last visit. Check in was a 20 minute wait which isn't bad. It was pretty busy. Everone at Paris are very nice. Like someone else said, tip a buck and she will keep coming around for drinks. Slots are pretty good. Tables not so much. Ate at all the food places and all are pretty good. All the French stuff doesn't bother me. Rooms are nice, clean and good for a nights sleep. We will go again.

We stayed in a Parlor Suite during the PBR finals. The parlor Suites are wonderful. We met a wonderful dealer named Gill at the GN. He is our favorite & has been employed by the GN for years. We will look for hime when we retrun in June 2009. Downtown is the funnest atmosphere is Vegas. Definitely stay in the GN though. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Gn has great rates available if you sign up for their email promotions. We will be in the 2 story 1500 Sq ft Spa Suite for $239. a night next time which is a fabulous rate for such an extravagant suite. You can't compare the fun of downtown & the quality of the GN to the strip hotels.

Stayed at the Venetian in October and in January we received an offer for a 3 night complimentary stay at the Palazzo which we eagerly accepted for our March visit to Vegas. Offer included a video poker tournment which was great fun. Rooms about the same as the Venetian, large and beautiful. Service was exceptional from all of the staff that we came in contact with. We did not play very much in the Palazzo casino as we preferred the Venetian casino where we did reasonably well. Food at the restaurants we tried was a little pricy but quality was outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit.

For a person in their mid-twenties on their honeymoon, T.I. was great. Have never been to Vegas before but it seems like it was a crowd right at my age and the club was cool too. Food was decent but kind of pricey. Room was average size but had new flat screen t.v.'s. Beds were kind of on the firm side but that is exactly how i like it. The bathrooms were quite spacious as well. The desk attendants were very helpful. I would definitely recommend it to people in the 21-35 age range.

Been there 10 times 5th time down town will not stay on strip any more it just feels right down there.

We stayed at the Golden Nugget and after reading various comments about the Western being such a dump and dangerous to walk to we weren't going to visit it. Are we glad we did. We went in the morning when it wasn't busy and loved the $3 Black Jack that paid 3:2 without a crowd,the old nickel slots and video poker(the Nuggets tables were $10 minimum except for a table for a few hours which was usually full, and no nickel slots) The wood floors were polished to a shine, service for cocktail was excellent. Tables are a worn but that didn't bother me or my wife. Yea there are some weird locals but they weren't hard to avoid or ignore. While I can afford the $10 games its just more relaxing without the crowd on $3 tables. The other casinos advertised $3 dollar tables but rarely could we find any openings at them. When we head to Vegas again the Western will be on our list of casinos to visit. We may bring some roundup(weed killer) along to spray the weeds along the fence on the walk there!(hint hint)

Nice beds, rooms always nice and clean. Casino has everything, but my favorite is the old vintage horse racing game near the buffet. What Fun!! Players Club and MGM credit card bring me a lot of comps and vouchers for fun and excitement. We had rooms and awesome meal at Craftsteak comped for our play. Great location, many good restaurants, and we love the piped in fragrance.

We were moderately surprised to find how nice it was staying here. We came here because we wanted to be located at this part of the strip for once and we had a few hunderd dollars of MGM-Mirage vouchers to use up from the MGM rewards credit card. Had a small but nicely appointed and comfy room with a wonderful strip view. Got our rooms comped after the stay from gaming, got 2 for 1 tickets to Mystere(which was awesome). We had a great time losing money in the casino which is not something that normally is enjoyable, but the casino has some fun machines. We will stay here again if the new ownership does not mess up what seems to be a good thing.

Normally, I stay at Paris, and I visit Vegas twice a year. A friend talked a group of us attending a bachelor party into visiting this property because he liked the location. We are all in our mid thirties and were not interested in Palms, Hard Rock or any of the other "party" properties.
Upon arriving, check in was a little longer than I would have hoped. Despite arriving at nearly 8:00 PM, when the room was supposed to be available at 4:00 PM; I was told that I would have to wait. While I was waiting, I ate at the cafe located inside the hotel close to the lobby. More later, but I ended up getting food poisoning.
In any event, my room was eventually available sometime just before 9:00 PM. When I made the treck through the casino to get to the elevator to get to my room, I discovered that I was given a room with a king bed instead of a room with two queens as I had requested since I had a friend arriving later in the week to stay with our group for the bachelor party. I had to go back to the lobby to get the issue corrected. Despite paying extra for a view of the strip, I instead had a view of only Imperial Palace which is located next door.
The casino floor is very unimpressive compared to most Vegas casinos. I did most of my gambling at other Harrahs owned properties. Sadly, I even found the casinos at Imperial Palace and Flamingo better; although I spent most of my time gambling at Paris.
Well, I spent the first two days of my trip at Harmon Urgent Care and in my room recovering from the food at the cafe. The buffet left much to be desired, and after two days I decided not to eat at Harrahs anymore.
The pool at Harrahs is not much better than you would find at any hotel in any town in the country. It is bascially boxed in between Harrahs and IP.
The party pit is nothing more than a tent serving drinks while a cover band plays in the background. The walkway located near the party pit is like having several mall kiosks located on the sidewalk.
The poker room is well run. The service at the sports-book is good. However, the sports-book is basically made up of old black-jack tables made to look like bar high top tables.
All in all, I will not return to Harrahs. I do not expect a great deal, but edible food, clean air and the correct room are not too much to ask. If you wish to stay at a cheaper Harrahs property, you would be better off at Flamingo or Ballys.

I have stayed at Paris several times over the past few years. All in all, I find it to be a good property.
Although I do like this property, I have always found check in to be longer than I would like. Typcially, I have had to wait in line for between 20-40 minutes.
The rooms are nicely furnished, but small. Housekeeping does a good job. The elevators are genearlly crowded.
Now that I have stated the negatives, I will move on to the positives. The casino ambiance is great. The casino staff is friendly, and the drink service is better than most Vegas properties. There are a number of small bars spaced perfectly throughout the casino floor.
The variety of eating establishments is great. The Eiffel Tower restaurant was excellent, and the view was amazing. The buffet at Paris is one of the best, if not the best in Vegas. Mon Ami Gabi is great for food and people watching. There is another restaurant located next to the buffet that has excellent food and service. A burger place is located in the walkway to Bally's that is great for a quick bite.
Paris has a great location. It is right in the middle of the strip, across from Bellagio. Paris is connected to Bally's, which makes walking to other casinos nice if you want to avoid the heat.
I did not visit the pool.
I did see the Anthony Cools show, which was probably good; but I was a participate in the show and did not get to watch.
I have not been impressed with the poker room at Paris. During my last visit to Vegas, I stayed at another property in Vegas; and when I went to check a tournament time at the Paris poker room, it appeared to be closed.
The sports-book at Paris is not very good. The staff is very courteous, but it is not a very good place to enjoy watching sporting events.
Although I have made some negative comments, I do have great affection for Paris. Most important to me, is that I am usually able to get my room comped very easily. The total rewards program does reward players with great room comps. I am not a high roller. I budget $1,200.00 per day for gambling. I normally play black-jack, craps and other table games at anywhere between $10.00 to $50.00 per hand. I will say that I was pretty shocked to see that I was able to find lower table minimums at higher end properties such as Bellagio and Mandalay Bay; probably because there is a larger casino floor with more tables.

I visited this property in Feb. of 09. The property was selected by office vote for a small office retreat. I visit Vegas twice a year, and I normally stay at Paris. My expectations for the visit were low after reading prior posts regarding the snottiness of the property. Having now stayed at the property, I can say that those posts were incorrect.
The check-in was excellent. A bell-hop met us at the taxi and made sure that our luggage was taken to our room. The front desk was more than adequately staffed, and we did not have to wait in line. The room was ready despite arriving prior to check in time.
The rooms were immaculate. The bathroom area was very nice, and the room was spacious compared to others where I have stayed in Vegas.
I am not a high roller. Typically I budget $1,200.00 per day for gambling. I bet anywhere from $10.00 to $50.00 per hand at black-jack, craps and other table games. While I expected to be treated poorly because I am not a high roller, I found exactly the opposite. The casino staff was excellent, and the drink service was beyond what I have found at other properites. I have gambled at nearly every property in Vegas, and no where have I found better drink service. I was able to find $10.00 minimum craps tables at any time of day or night. I did discovery that $25.00 minimum bets were required to be rated at the black-jack and roulette tables.
The cleanliness of the entire property was beyond my expectations. Our room was serviced twice per day. I was pleased to see that there was security at the elevators that checked for room keys.
The sports-book and the poker room were the best I have seen in Vegas. Although the sports-book was very posh, I was a little disappointed that the same bets were not avaialble that were avaialable at many other properties. I had to go to other properties to make my sports bets, but I would prefer to watch the games at Bellagio.
The buffet at Bellagio was excellent, although it did not offer the variety of that of some of the other Vegas buffets such as Rio, Paris and the Wynn. There were very good places to eat in Bellagio, but I was a little disappointed with the service at Olives. That being said, the food was excellent, and much better than the food that I have had at some other higher end places in Vegas.
We Went to the cirque show O, which I did not enjoy, and my wife was not thrilled either. Love at Mirage was much better.
Did not check out the pool since it was February.
Check out was as easy as check in. Despite not being a high roller, all of the meal and drink charges to my room were comped.
Since my Feb. visit, I have received email offers for lower rates at Mirage and Mandalay Bay (I gambled at these properties, albeit much less than at Bellagio). However, I have not received any offers from Bellagio.
All in all, I had a very good visit, and would love to stay at this property again. But, if given the choice of staying at this property again for the $159.00 per night that I paid; or staying for free at Paris, I would likely stay at Paris. I am staying at Mandalay Bay in April, so I am interested to see how it compares.

First you need to take into account this isn't Vegas, it's stateline. Don't expect Mirage service or you will not have a good time. Having said that we went to see Chicago that night. Got in at 11am. Valet was fast to get our car. Check in was fast. Room was clean and noise level was low enough to go right to sleep. Casino was fun and the slots we played was paying pretty good. Had lunch and breakfast at the cafe and it was good food for a fair price. All in all for one day it was fun.

Nice room in the Forum Tower that's been remodeled. They did a great job. Everything went well. Plenty of penny slots. Plenty of places to eat at all levels of $$$. Had a great meal at the Cheesecake factory. The only problem was we got in at 12:15 or so. Would not let us check in until between 1-5pm. Says that on the sign and a lady next to the sign where you enter the line. We come back at 1pm and now she says 3pm. Come back at 2:50 because we figure they will be lined up to get in line. Nope. Now there was 75-100 in line checking in so we don't know what the game was. It only took 1/2 hour or so. Really that was the only problem we had. After that everything was great.

The rooms are average size, small bathroom. The room was very clean and the price was right. Casino is a little smokey. You can get from your room to the strip in a couple of minutes. Great place to stay if you get a good room rate and aren't trying to impress anyone.

Stayed in the Mardi Gra tower with 3 friends. The room was very worn. Floor was dirty, TV was old, beds were below average. The location is fantastic and I would stay again only if I get a great room rate. Otherwise I will be trying out other place. The Range (steak house) is fantastic. I have eaten here 3 times and it always delivers. I have heard that rooms in the other towers are better.

The simple request of trying to get a working hair dryer in the room was met with, We'll housekeeping isn't open yet or I can't help you. I am still amazed that the staff would respond to such a simple request from a customer for a damn hair dryer with I can;t help you . It's not like I ask for the brooklyn Bridge. I had to escalate the issue all the way up to the Manager at the front desk to get it.

I had all but given up on Las Vegas afer my last trip. I said that I would not go back but my wife pushed me to go again. We decided to use the WYNN as we had enjoyed the TI & Mirage when Mr Wynn had them. It was great, just what Las Vegas is all about. The casino is majical, rooms out of this world and the staff could not do enough for you. I can't wait to go back!!!! This has given me a new outlook on what is gradulaly becoming a hick town run by MGM. We visited the TI casino, I started playing $1 video poker at the bar, they give me one free drink then charged me for the next? I got up took my dollers and left. Well done MGM you turned a good hotel into a dump. WYNN on the other hand is back to where I rember Las Vegas great time and fablous surroundings. It is a little expensive but worth it.

The Bellagio benefits from hype and its fountains out front that give it that aura of being something special. The fact is that it is very much one of several high end Vegas hotels that tend to blend in with each other once you're on the elevators heading up to your room. I'm no high roller, so the room I had was pretty standard, along the lines that you would get at a Westin--clean, simple, tasteful, but nothing out of the ordinary. As it turns out, that's all I look for in a hotel--that, a flat-screen HD TV with full cable, a comfortable bed and a great shower. The Bellagio was simply "okay" in this category.
The casino is like most other high-end casinos. Blindfold me, drop me off in the middle of the casino, and unless I saw any identifying signs, I would have no clue as to which hotel I was in. The thing about five-star hotels elsewhere is that you FEEL like you're in an exclusive hotel. The Bellagio and any other high-end hotel along the strip invites anyone to come on in, so you'll have the whole spectrum of visitors walking around the public areas. Nothing wrong with that, except there is a major difference in "feel" between any five star LV hotel (not just the Bellagio) and five star hotels in other resort areas around the world. On the positive side, nice pools and the psychological plus of telling people that you are staying at the Bellagio. Is it worth paying the price for that? I suppose it depends on how much money you have.

Very disappointed with my casino host, made mistakes and cause an embarrassing
situation when my Phantom of the Opera tickets was cancelled on me. Never
acknowledge my arrival, was not available when needed, or provided any personal
service. My casino play rating was faulty and I was charged excessively
compared to my last 4 trips.

I've stayed at the Sahara on business several times and always felt that it was on okay hotel considering you only had to pay $35 a night for a decently clean room. We checked in on Valentine's Day to stay for four nights for trade shows that were in town. The first night we stayed there, there was a cricket in our closet, which seemed odd since we were on the 14th floor in the desert in the middle of winter. However, this was nothing compared to what happened next. I awoke the third day COMPLETELY COVERED in bed bug bites. We filed a complaint and a security guard had to come up and take photos of my bites. When we went to check out of the hotel moments later, they were barely apologetic and told us that there was nothing they could do, that only a legal service provider would be able to contact us and help us. My employers were furious (I was too busy hysterically crying in their lobby), and eventually we got them to refund the money from our stay (I couldn't believe that this was even an issue for them) as well as dry clean all of our clothes. We took the money we got back and spent our last night at the Wynn Encore... it goes without saying that this place was spotless.
It's now three days later and the bites are still appearing (the internet says it could take up to 14 days for all bites to appear), I'm incredibly disgusted and uncomfortable, and I'm terrified that somehow we've taken the bugs home with us. PLEASE save yourself the worry and do not stay at the Sahara.

First stay at New York New York, we arrived on a Saturday @ 11am, I have been to Vegas at least 8 times and this was the first time we had to wait until late afternoon to get into our rooms. Paid extra for a view room so we were in the Chrysler Tower, overlooking the rollercoaster & a view of the MGM. We had a Park Avenue room and it was the smallest room I have ever been in Las Vegas, but the elevators were fairly fast. Though the hotel has a good location it is a nice walk to get to the monorail. The checkin staff were friendly, but the slots were so tight, I might as well have thrown money on the floor. It also seems that there are alot of people with their children constantly in the casino, which makes for an unpleasant time. Plus, they were still working on the ROC nightclub, which is in the middle of the casino, and that was a real mess. On the bright side Nine Fine Irishmen was excellent, as usual and we ate one night at the Gonzalez Y Gonzalez, and the food was excellent. This was the first and last time we will stay at New York New York, it was not what we expected.

This was the third time we have stayed at the Orleans. I remember the last time we stayed there (2006) my wife and I both mentioned how the casino and hotel looked "tired".
We were impressed by the recarpeting project in the casino. The area looked much better than on our last visit and now they need to work on the recarpeting in the rooms.
As others have mentioned, this hotel and casino is not on the strip but just a short trip by shuttle or rental car or taxi. We had a rental car and appreciated not being on the strip with all of the congestion that brings.
The facility has a bowling alley and also a multi-screen movie theater. It also has an arena attached for larger crowds.
The staff was friendly and attentive. The one problem we did have with housekeeping was addressed immediately and completely. Our room went uncleaned one day until 6:00 p.m. After a phone call to the housekeeping supervisor it was taken care of quickly.
This is a large hotel and casino with many dining opportunities. The buffet is very standard fare with the staff, again, being attentive and friendly. I would rate the buffet as average.
We stayed during the weekend of Super Bowl Sunday. As you might imagine there was a significant crowd, but the hotel did a great job setting up big screen TVs in several places around the casino.
There are two other negative things I have to report. On Monday after the Super Bowl the cantina was closed during happy hour. This was despite numerous large signs in the casino advertising "Happy Hour 3-5 in the Cantina daily". I guess everyone was tired after the big party the previous day.
Remember, this is not the Bellagio or Wynn. It is a reasonably priced hotel and casino off the strip. The value for the dollar spent is very good. We stayed for three nights (including the Super Bowl night) for a total price of $140.
There is a "resort fee" (read revenue enhancement) of $5 per day which one cannot opt out of. When I went to the business center to print two airline boarding passes I was charged $2. I thought this was a little much. The $5 is to allow local calls and a limited amount of internet time.
I would stay at the Orleans again and overall thought they did an excellent job.

I have been staying off and on at the Monte Carlo since 2004. This hotel seems to be perfect for me for a few reasons. 1. Center of the action on the strip 2. The price is unbeatable for the location 3. No kids running around (NY NY is terrable for that) 4. The poker room and sports book is very nice and inviting 5. The distance from anywhere in the building to the strip or to the elevator pod is never more than a 5 minute walk, if that. The only thing that I can say I was disapointed about on my most recent trip was the fact that the sports book has started to hand out those darn drink coupons when you place a bet. It was so nice when you could just sit in the sports book and get drinks non stop without the use of a coupon. It kinda cheepens the whole atmosphere. I place many bets in the sports book and would just rather not have to hand the gal a business card looking coupon everytime I want a drink. I guess to many people were taking advantage of that perk. Brand steak house was very good. I will write about that in the proper section. All in All it was another great stay at the Monte Carlo. The best bang for the buck on the strip in my opinion.

I stayed at the Gold Spike for my friends birthday weekend. It seems like they have recently renovated, everything looks really clean and it doesn't smell like smoke at all (not what I expected from downtown Vegas). It is located so close to Freemont St and all the great bars. However the real deals are at the Spike. They have cheap gaming and drinks.

My mom and I stayed at the Fremont for 3 nights in January. The rooms and bathroom are small but were accomadating for the 2 of us. The buffet wasn't that great but Tony Romas was good. The hotel desk clerks were friendly and helpful and immediately changed our room because the view we had was the air conditioning units outside. I played most of my time there because I won the most money there. I would definitely stay there again. The rooms are very clean for an older hotel.

My husband and I stayed here mid November 2008 for our Wedding Honeymoon. We spent months preparing and researching to pick just the right hotel, and we were fairly happy with our choice. Upon arriving on our shuttle from LAS, we couldn't help but notice the beauty of the pyramid, and the Criss Angel hummer out front. We walked into the hotel to the right to check in, and like many others was asked if why we were in vegas. TIMESHARE!!!! RUN RUN RUN. Anyone who does not have a hotel nametag, but seems very friendly is trouble! Tell them you're leaving that day, or simply ignore them all together. When we finally got away and over to check in it was too early. We were directed over to the bell stand where they greeted us, took our stuff and we were on our way to explore. Once we returned to checked in, we put down our $100 per night deposit, and upgraded our room to a spa suite for our last night. The lady at the desk was extreemely helpful and friendly. She gave us our free stuff like food and game credits and answered all of our questions with a smile. We walked around the corner to the elevator, up to the 6th floor, and all the way down the hall to our room. Upon first look i thought, wow, this is.... different; and what's that smell? The carpet was alittle drab, and the bathroom out dated with a funky smell. But the smell went away soon after, and the view of the front lawn was nice. The entertainment center was a little worn, but served it's purpose. There was no tub just an oversized glass shower. The room was mostly quiet even with the construction nearby and the bed was comfy. After unpacking we went to the Atrium level where all the action was. They had a McDonalds with a dollar menue, starbucks, Nathan's hot dogs, ice cream, gift shops, etc. The casino flor was loud as expected, but we didn't go there to gamble anyway. We registered to win Criss Angels corvette and went to explore Sin City. The first three nights went smoothly, the maid did a good job of cleaning the little mess we left.
Our fourth night we upgraded to the spa suite for an extra $50. We went to the front desk to get our new room keys, bell hop assisted in moving our luggage for us, and we were shocked when we entered our room. We expected a room like we just had, but with a big tub in the corner. What we got was a sitting area with entertainment center mini frig and window, and a half wall seperating the bed, tub and another entertainment center. By now we were wishing we had this room all along. The clover leaf tub had jets, and was elevated next to a second window overlooking the north/east area. A little strip, a little mountains. So beautiful! We ordered something special from room service and it was delivered promptly. We relaxed the rest of the night. When I woke up, the sun reflecting on the mountains was so perfect for a few pictures.
Before leaving we headed to the buffet to eat but got a little lost on the way. The food was good, the desserts were wonderful; so many choices. I left some stuff on the seat when we left, but I went right back and got it, they were expecting me. We checked out without waiting in much of a line, gave our bags back to bell hop for a few more hours before leaving.
A few other things we liked was the tram that ran from Mandalay Bay, to Luxor to Excalibur. The enclosed walkway between these three hotels, and all the window shopping.
The Luxor is part of a large chain constisting of about 10 Vegas hotels. When checking in they gave us a card we could use for anything from shopping to dining and it would be charged to our room instead of paying cash. Though some people might not like this, it kept us from carring alot of cash, and that was nice.
We would definatly stay here again, in fact we're thinking April might be nice.

Located at the very shady (north) end of the Strip this aging relic should be avoided at all costs. Yes, the rooms are cheap but you get what you pay for: A/C & phoned didn't work, no 24hr restaurants, half the mall shops are closed, smoke filled casino and be ready to WALK everywhere. The rides at the top of the tower may interest young travellers. At night you'll have to walk past denizens of the street, tattoo parlors and liquor stores. Don't say you weren't warned.

Check in was a bit long. Got the room and the first night was fine. Second day we left in the morning and i came back to the room about 2pm to find the tub drain sitting on the floor, junk from the drain all over the side of the tub and the tub 1/4 full of crapy, stinky water and no sign of anybody. Called the dest which told me to call somebody else that told me to call somebody else that told me, you don't belong in that room, why are you there. Well after a couple of hours they "rushed" me to another room and forgot about me as fast as they could. No comp nothing and no sorry, nothing. I won't go back.

First time staying downtown. Nice hotel. Got $59 a night on line with email sign up and $40 food credit. No rooms to upgrade to when we checked in, but the South tower is remodeling the rooms now. At least the top two floors were done and got one of those rooms. No micowave or refrigerator. Coffee shop was good. Casino ok. We are locals so was not expecting to win. But will stay there again.

Had a brief one-night stay in early April. Check-in was quick and the room was nice, only a little small. Didn't matter for me as the bed was incredibly comfortable and nice to pass out on after drinking until 10am (Thanks for late check-out). Location is great in my opinion as I tend to prefer the area over the southern end of the strip.

Absolutely horrorific experience, and upon surviving the night there made a vow with my travel companion to never set foot in the establishment again. If I had to describe my personal hell, the Circus Circus would be it. The only reason it was chosen was to extend a Vegas vacation one extra night as cheaply as possible. The ten dollars saved would have been much better spent across the street at the Riviera. I do not recommend this for anyone except masochists or people with brat children.

We stayed at the Palazzo Monday 12/1/08 and checked out Wednesday 12/3/08. My first trip to Vegas was 1974. I have stayed at 18 different strip hotels on numerous occasions. I always book the standard deluxe Vegas room and take what I get. This trip was with a male friend from work, not my wife. The room fully comped. He gambles a lot.
Check in was fast and classy. We were offered the rooms with a view of the strip on higher floors for only $45.00 a night which we declined. Also the money for the $20 trick always looks better in my pocket. Think about this one…. It’s Vegas if you spend more than 7 hours all total in one day, in the room sleeping and changing,,, is Vegas really your kind of town.
Cliental: During the day people were nicely dressed, very few t shirts. There were a few children but not many. This hotel does not cater to children. This is a very slow week but from what I could tell the hotel goes after the 35 + crowd that has money to spend and wants to spend it on a fancy room.
Hotel: clean all around. Very nice décor, front to back side to side. Hall ways were clean, no room service trays left in a hall way. The guard was at the elevator asking to see room keys 24-7. In the early morning hours 5-6 AM there was a shortage of cocktail waitresses for early morning coffee. Later in the day and night the cocktail waitresses came out in force. The floor plan to walk through the casino is somewhat easy, a big square. The over head signs indicating what direction to head in were alright. A rest room from the table games was a good hike.
ROOM: Compared to the standard deluxe rooms in most hotels, this room was big. It should be, it’s a suite. Ours had 2 beds, dressers, ceiling to floor windows. Push a button and the drapes opened and closed, push a button and the shades went up and down. L shaped cough, coffee table flat screen. The other flat screen was in front of the beds. Over priced, mini bar. Large enough closet, complementarily robes to ware, safe in the room no charge. The bath room was big enough. There was his and hers sinks, separate make up table, mirror and chair. There was a separate area for the sit down with a door. There was a small flat screen in the bathroom. No sitting ledge in the shower. The soaking tub was separate no bubbles. I did not see Mouth wash, q-tips or a hair dryer, the hair dryer had to be someplace but with no hair to dry I didn’t look hard for it.. The shampoos and soaps were just fine, better than most hotels.
Staff. From check in to check out everyone was nice, willing to please. The maids kept the room clean; there were chocolates on the night stand. The staff always said hello to me in the hall ways. Dealers thanked me for every $1.00 tip they got. The casino cocktail waitress, were always friendly.
Shops – One gift store on the main floor. Up the escalator and there was a huge mall area that is connected to the Venetian, Very expensive shops.
Spa: Was going to go there, didn’t go there. Canyon Ranch $40 a day for work out area, steam and shower, I felt it was over priced
Food: Is the food over priced? To me the answer is yes a little but then we only ate in the coffee shop. But, remember, what doesn’t cost a lot to one person is over priced to someone else. Pancakes if I remember $8.50 for a huge short stack.. compared to the mirages $10.00 for the same thing.
Casino: Plenty of floor space nothing squeezed in. Machines. Lots of penny machines play 40 lines for 20 coins per line play extra lines win the progressive penny slot. ( no comment) No sticky buttons the currency accepter always took my money. Black Jack; I did see a couple $10.00 tables in the morning hours. At night, the limit went up to $15.00. Roulette; I believe the combined minimum bet on roulette was $10.00. Craps I don’t play, Video Poker, jacks or better, for dollars the best pay scale to be found was 8/5. That’s in line with the Mirage. ( Wynn has 9/6). Poker Room, nice size,,, Sports Book, I never found it.
Comps I signed up for the card. I didn’t play enough on the machines to get any free play. ( this is a good thing) To be rated at the tables it’s $25.00 a hand. My table play covered the $80.00 we charged to the room for food. Now I’ll sit back and see what post card and email offers come in. Slot play is, 1 point for every 1 dollar in. VP is 1 point for every 3 dollars in. No idea what a point is worth. I believe it was 2500 points before you earned something like $15.00 in free play.
Pool- I actually went to the pool and looked at it, just in case I want to return with the wife,,,, Ms. Pool Queen. It’s nice all 5 or 7 of them, 2 hot tubs. There were people there, laying around on lounges in swim suits.
The over all - Be prepared to run up $150.00 to $200.00 in additional expenses a day if you eat 3 square meals a day in the hotel. Different people have different expectations. To me The Palazzo had a slower more relaxing resort atmosphere about it. The room was above and beyond my expectations. The rooms were nicer than the rooms at the Wynn. I came to the conclusion, it was a good trip, but it was missing that buzz of excitement,the Palazzo was not a fun hotel for me. What’s fun for one may not be fun for someone else. Is fun playing tic tac toe against a chicken? Is sitting in the lounge just off the casino floor watching a rocking band for the cost of a $6.50 drink fun for you,,, or is sitting on your couch in your room watching a flat screen fun for you ? I did enjoy the resort, it’s very nice, very classy. I might go back with the wife, once, so she could check out the pool, providing they offered me the room for around $115.00.

Stayed in mid December of 2008. The Silverton is a beautiful property with lovely rooms and a friendly staff. The bed is super comfy. Rooms come with a safe and mini bar.
Nice selection of restaurants with plenty of coupons available from the usual sources.
The only bad thing I would say is that the casino turns into a tomb after the dinner crowd leaves. Both nights there were more employees than guests in the casino after 8pm. Nice place...but a little too quiet for my tastes.

Requested and received a high floor non-smoking room (16th floor) and we were lucky to get the Strip view..WOW! Only thing we had to sacrifice was the king bed for 2 Queens. We lay in bed looking out at the strip. Staff there were friendly and helpful. The valet parking was free ( tips accepted). Free shuttle runs constantly until 1 am to a few places on the strip. The Rub BBq restaurant was fabulous. Downside, all restaurants very expensive and beware the in room minibar below the TV. They charge outragous prices if you use it. It operates on sensors, so check your bill upon checkout because you are libel to be charge for something you didn't take. I would stay there again!

If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay, I would recommend The Excalibur. I thought it was easy to find your way around in. The rooms weren't fancy but were clean. There is no bathtub but the shower was large. If you don't want to spend a lot on food, there is a food court on the second floor with a Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Quiznos, and Cold Stone Creamery. Everyday from 2:00pm-6:00pm, the buffet price is 2 for the price of 1. We thought the buffet was very good. They had turkey, prime rib, fried and baked chicken, chinese, mexican, a great salad bar with lots of toppings and dressings, a good choice of desserts including suger-free ones. The breakfast is also good. There is no seafood so if you're looking for that go elsewhere. There is also a walkway from the Excalibur to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Overall, I liked the Excalibur--the people were friendly and I would stay there again.

Stayed 4 nights for Thanksgiving with wife. Usually stay at MGM/Mirage properties but wanted to try this place. Was not disapointed. Cool looking casino with good drink service and friendly staff. Heart bar was good place to have drinks and kick off the night. Pleasure Pit gave off a good vibe and made the casino stand out from some of the other nice casinos. Definately would come back again.

Another fun visit to our favorite place to stay while in Laughlin.....had a very special dinner in The Steakhouse for our Anni., the service is wonderful! Played in the Halloween Slot Tournament, will be back in January.
This winter we stayed here 6 different times and enjoyed every one!! The rooms in the front tower are very nice and the beds are great with all the extra pillows.....Casino is easy to navigate and the slots were good to me. We ate breakfast in the Buffet, a good way to get lots of fresh fruit, and all the juice and beverages you may want and not pay extra. We did attend a slot tournament...St. Patrick's Day , did'nt win, but had fun. The Tropicana Express has made me a believer in great service, good food, and a place where you can play for a long while and not lose all your money.....can't wait to go back next winter.
