10 minutes from the airport, off the main drag (Las Vegas Blvd), and within 15-20 minutes walking distance to Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, Planet Hollywood, and the Venetian.

If you're going to have a good time while trying to stick to a budget, I'd recommend looking into this place. Because the place is off the strip, its quieter. The casino downstairs is small by comparison, but the betting is cheaper making it more fun (unless you're a high roller).

They have a fitness center and guests can use the spa's steam room (NICE benefit) for free. I mention that b/c you get all the perks of spa amenities (robes, slippers, complimentary juices, water, tea, coffee,etc.) for free...but massages cost extra.

When you exit the hotel and turn right, you hit the strip. When you turn left you hit some nice restaurants (McCormick and Schmick, PF Changs, etc.) If you go past the nice restaurants about 1- 1.5 miles you'll hit the real world places like Target and day-to-day shopping places to meet basic needs w/o spending an arm and a leg.

Starbucks coffee in the room with a mini bar that you can empty out and use as a fridge while you're there. Daily USA Today papers delivered to your door. Wall Street Journal and LV paper available downstairs. If you want the WSJ though they're gone by 6am.

Happy Hour from 5-8pm Mon-Thurs. Free beer, wine, and snacks with a big screen tv. During happy hour roulette is 25 cents, craps is $3, and table games are $5. So get some cheap practice in before hitting the big places.

I'd go back. Very satisfied.

I found the staff to be very friendly at the hotel. The pool is very small, however was adequate for a short stay with a child. Food was very expensive in the pool area and the waitress really seemed to focus on groups of people rather than if you were there alone or with just one other person. I believe the hotel was renovated within the last few years, however it is very tired looking already. I found housekeeping to be below standard. My daughter dropped some chips in the room and while we cleaned them up as best as we could, there were still crumbs. They were not vacuumed up for 2 days. We also didn't have any washcloths for 2 of the 3 days we were there and our room was typically not clean until after 5pm in the evening.

What a great stay!
my wife and I are not big fans of the big strip hotels so this was a great find! attended a friends B-day party over the weekend and wanted to find something not too smokey or too big. This hotel has all non smoking rooms! you can only smoke in the casino area and bar. It is a small hotel and has a small casino, bar and a Starbucks in the lobby! the pool area was not crowded at all and had nice sun and no wind! the rooms are quite and comfortable. if there is one thing that was not the best was the lack of places to eat. but no big deal as the strip is only a 5 min walk.
This was a great 2 night stay and will stay there again! this would be a great business hotel if you needed to be close to the strip.

Not a 4 star. Nice and friendly staff. Decent rooms and VERY quiet. Very comfortable beds. Not bad for the money, just not great. Also they do try and nickel and dime you for a couple of $10 dollar fees.
