We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Bills over New Year and are convinced that it is the Strip's best kept secret! I booked on the strength of reports here and because it is small and low rise and mid Strip. It was perfect for us. It was our eighth trip to Vegas and we have stayed in various hotels including the Venetian and Aladdin. Bill's is not in the themed luxury bracket but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the rooms and we will be staying there again. The only things which would have improved it would have been an in-room safe and coffee/tea facilities. We used the safety deposit facility at the Cashier's desk which is free but they ask for a $60 cash deposit which is refunded when the key is turned in. We were lucky enough to get a side view of the fountains at no extra cost (but New Year's Eve was triple the price anyway!), from room 428. The room was bigger than I expected with plenty of space for storage. The bathroom space is small but adequate and I was glad to see a bath as pacing up and down the Strip all day needs a bath to soak in at the end of the day. Something we didn't get at Excalibur. The window in the bathroom was great but obviously made it noisy when left open. Generally we did not find it too noisy to sleep. The TV was huge! Parking was easy too as we arrived on Flamingo Road from the Hoover Dam direction and there is a multi storey car park which is clearly visible. Check in and out was easy with no queue which is rare in Vegas. The staff were all courteous and friendly. The carpets in the casino part have seen better days but that didn't worry us as we are not gamblers. Big Elvis is worth watching and there was another live band who were very good. The 99c Margaritas were also very nice!
Couldn't fault it despite my initial reservations that it may be a bit tatty and attract the wrong sort! Sadly the nature of Vegas attracts all walks of life - some undesirable, but we did not encounter any hookers or obvious 'low life'.
We did not use any other facilities there but will definitely use Bill's on our next visit, assuming the price is still competetive.
