“Definitely not the joker in the pack!”

Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon

Jan 4, 2009 New

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.

“Great Location”

Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon

4 of 5 stars
Harrogate, United Kingdom

3/3 found this review helpful

The location is the main point for staying at Bills.
The rooms are fine & reasonably sized. There is a clock/radio & hairdryer and bathroom with shower, smallish tub alongside a vanity unit /dressing area.
There is a 46 inch plasma TV in the room. I do not have a TV at this size at home & personally would have preferred a room safe & coffee maker to be provided-but each to his own.....
I didn't use the steakhouse, as I didn't think it particularly reasonably priced. But the Seattle coffee shop is handy for a light breakfast.
The place was clean but some of the carpets & linen had seen better days. I stayed for eight days & only had one top up of shampoo & soaps.
My room did not have much of a view, just overlooking the side of the Flamingo, but did mean it was relatively quiet.
Some (but not all) of the staff on reception were not overly helpful. When wanting to book the airport shuttle I was just given a phone number & left to call myself.
Another thing (& not exclusive to this hotel) was the cost of phone calls from the room. I made one quick call within the US & was charged $14

3/4 found this review helpful

Bill's Hotel sits right opposite the Bellagio and Caesars Palace, but is much cheaper - we paid £130+tax for a night. Room was standard business hotel type, but with a large tv. Car parking is free, and right next to the hotel

“Not dissappointed”

Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon

Dec 19, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

This was our first trip to Las Vegas, and we used Trip Advisor and traveler reviews to plan our trip. Our stay at Bill's was just what we expected. It's location could not be better. The Staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the fact that the hotel is smaller and easy to navigate. Most important our rooms were clean and quiet. The in wall air conditioning unit is a plus for us. It gave us "white" noise for sleeping and good control of the temperature. Being our first trip, we visited every casino on the strip. The size of each of them was almost overwhelming. It was a pleasure to come "home" to Bills. We do not need fancy, just comfort and that's what Bill's gave us.

“Great Stay for Rodeo Finals”

Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon

4 of 5 stars
Reedsville, West Virginia
Dec 15, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

We read the reviews for Bill's and decided to take a chance. It was great and priced affordably. Our room was spacious and had a view of the fountains across the street. Location made everything accessible. Our trip was to attend the Rodeo Finals and a taxi was right there at the door for use. The 99 cent Margaritas, $2 Hot dogs, and Elvis Entertainment add to the experience. We did find catching the bus to Fremont Street was a best bet for souvenirs which are half the cost or more of those in the strip area, also you can eat for less and there is a great light show. We would go that route first before buying down around the large Casinos. Being our 1st trip to Vegas for 3 of us we felt Bill's was a good deal. The only dislike I had was the push for the Time Share Tour at the door, which we took but instead of the 2 hours stated it took about 4 hours, not worth the tickets we received for attending. Way too long and to much of a sales "I won't let you go sales pitch". Other then that we enjoyed our stay and the National Rodeo Finals. Would stay at Bill's again for sure!
