We stayed here for 4 nights. It is a typical Hampton Inn. The beds were very comfortable, room nice and clean and bright. The staff was courteous but sometimes so busy it took a while to get help. As a side note our friends were staying at the MGM and our room looked just like theirs except they had about 50 square feet more room than we did.

They offer a free shuttle to and from airport. This is a plus and saves about $16.

Our shuttle drivers were fabulous! They will shuttle you TO but not from several casinos on the strip for free (we always tipped however). We were told we could walk to the strip, which is true. However, the walk will take you under the interstate overpass right off the Excaliber parking lot. There were numerous homeless folks there and we were not comfortable carrying large amounts of cash while strolling thru there. We were advised not to walk it at night. We ended up taking the shuttle to the strip and bringing a cab back, which averages about $10 before tip.

Breakfasts were typical Hampton Inn style. Good selection of fruit, muffins, bagels, cereals, etc. Eggs were pre-cooked or one morning they had breakfast pizza's. The shuttle driver had told us about the place across the street for breakfast and said it was good. So we took our lives in our hands one morning and took a hair-raising walk across the street to the Wild West Gambling Hall and Hotel for their $2.99 breakfast. Breakfast was good but it was so smokey that the air just hung like a blue fog. Unless you are desperate for a change of pace for breakfast I would not recommend it.

Overall, if I cannot stay on the strip I would consider staying here again.

The check in people promised shuttle service, but then backed out on it and we had to take a cab. The bus shuttle driver was nasty and rude, and gave guests a lot of bad-attitude!

Probably the best Hampton I've been too, reminded me more of a full fledged Hilton. Free breakfast was good, even when I had to leave at 500AM. Loved the happy hour specials (basically in Vegas terms, you'll pay what you normally pay at home rather than the triple prices the casinos charge). Good, comfortable bed, loved the free high speed internet. One one of the nights we were there they had a night for Hilton HHonors members with free appetizers and drinks, which is the first time I've ever seen this done. Would absolutely reccomend for the business traveller who doesn't want to stay on the Strip in a casino hotel. Good free shuttle to the Airport and the Strip. All in all, a good place off the strip, better than the Embassy suites or Fairfield Inn, both of which I have stayed in.

Booked the Hampton Inn for a conference held at the Mandalay Bay as other hotel was over my budget and overbooked. Hampton was only 1 mile or so away from the Strip, which was convenient. I drove from CA but if I didn't have transportation, the hotel offered THE speediest shuttle service (one way only) to and from the airport and other locations on the Strip.

Complimentary breakfast (wide offering from healthy fruit and more delicious bacon & eggs etc), complimentary internet, complimentary amenities in case you forgot them (toothbrush, razor, conditioner and the like). Comfortable and clean with courteous staff; couldn't ask for anything more.

Added bonuses: even though the hotel is near the airport (the older "Fabulous Vegas" sign is close by), my room--facing a rather isolated street--was relatively quiet from street noise. Also - try a drive down Frank Sinatra Dr or Polaris for a good night view of the Strip.
