We stayed at Bills during the SEMA show. It was ideal for practical people like us. Great Location, cheap drinks, great 14.99 24 hr. prime rib, clean room with big plasma and it was so easy to get to our room. Step off the street, show your key to security and up a couple floors and we were in our room. Our room overlooked the corner of LV Blvd and Flamingo-the center of the strip. We had a great view of the Bellagio fountains too (5 nights with all taxes, and 2 movies, 5 days internet charge cost us $419 out the door!!!!). The service was excellent. We had a coffee pot in the room that saved us alot of frustration in the morning (all the coffee shops have lines early). There are two great shows close by at the Flamingo that took exactly 4 mins to walk to from our room to the show (X burlesque and George Wallace). Bellagio, Paris, Balleys and Planet Hollywood were close enough to walk to for a fancy dinner and other shows. But do yourself a favor and get the prime rib special at Bills. It took less time than a fast food place and frankly the steak had the best taste of any we had in Vegas. Oh yes, use the monorail for your longer trips. We used it everyday to get to the SEMA show at the convention center (8 mins of actual train time). The station is right next door at the Flamingo (total walk time from our room 9 mins). If you wany opulence and chic-chic, Bil's aint your place. But if you want a clean convenient hotel with outstanding service Stay at Bills. Some Bills facts....Canned beer $2.25 at the Bar....free entertainment in the open-type lounge everyday (Big Elvis in the late afternoon and later in the eve a band)....there are $5 blackjack tables...their coupon book has a two for one drink coupon and a $5 blackjack bet coupon....there is a half price show tickets box office (you can buy show tickets for about any show on the strip-not really half price but about $10-29 less than internet prices)...wireless or cabled internet costs $11.99 a day...movies $11.99...don't go for your prime rib early eve because the place will be packed...no fridge in the room...good bathroom stuff...Bring your fancy clothes and go out one night at a chic chic place...but leave pretencienceness at home and stay at Bills.

Really enjoyed staying at Bill's. Easy to check in and out, Older but nice rooms, quiet and small enough that you didn't spend your life on an elevator. Right in the middle of the strip close to everything. Can use the pool at Flamigo next door. I'd go back.

We have never really had any luck with our Vegas vacations. We usually get bored or wind up staying at the wrong hotel or try to do too many things. But, this time we did it right. We arrived Monday afternoon and stayed until Thursday afternoon, which proved to be the perfect duration. Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon is right in the center of The Strip, sandwiched between Bally's and the Flamingo and across from Caesar's Palace. It only cost about $65/night but had a flat panel TV, large room, two comfortable beds, and shares the Flamingo's pool, one of the best in Vegas. It also wasn't a huge trek to get from our room to the outdoors, which has been our experience with past Vegas hotel/casinos. The bar had $1 margaritas, which are pretty rare now on The Strip, and our room had a fantastic view of the Bellagio fountains and Paris Eiffel Tower. We saw Elton John's "The Red Piano" at Caesar's Palace, so the location was perfect for that. We dined at Ah Sin at Paris for the sushi, prior to the show, and it was a fantastic meal. The whole trip was great and we're looking forward to returning.

Great location right in the middle of the strip .. couldn't get better location . opposite Cesars, Bellagio and Ballys, Great price.
nice big room with 2 beds, plenty of rom for suitcases etc, big flat screen tv, Friendly staff , good price on meals especailly breakfast.
cheap drinks and nice small casino with Fat Elvis singing for free.
Good choice as you can visit all the other flash hotels without paying the price <<and flamingo nest door with nice garden with real flamingos if you need to escape the smoke and noise..
