This hotel is in a really good spot. It's directly on the beach, probably the widest and most family-oriented part of the strip. The hotel has two pools, one of which is just steps from the beach. There is a bar next to that pool and a place to get food (they even barbeque there). I rented a car and self-parked it, which I thought was more convenient. It only cost $7.00 a day. (The hotel is five minutes from the airport) You are walking distance to the hot spots on the strip, where there are many restaurants, hotels and bars to enjoy. I would suggest walking because parking can be a problem. Getting back to the hotel.....Upon first driving up to it, I was disappointed. The hotel is old, but well kept. They were painting the buildings while I was there (there are many buildings). The main lobby surprised me. It's very small and not impressive, but, my room, which was on the 11th floor (top floor) was a really nice room. My view of the marina was really beautiful, especially at night, and the bed was the MOST comfortable bed I've slept in yet. It's worth staying here just for the bed. The restaurant has very, very good food, and there is outdoor dining if that's what you prefer. There are two bars in the lobby area and a 24-hour deli (more like a convenience shop) which actually was very convenient. I probably said more than I needed to say about the Clipper, but, if you're as picky as I am and depend upon these reviews, like I do, then hopefully you will get the picture. This hotel is really one of the nicest, all around. I'll definitely return. Hope this helped.
