Bills is a small, older hotel which needs renovation badly. They will be renovating in February so the cheap prices will also vanish. The location is outstanding, dead center of the strip. We stayed in the z3 suite which was gigantic and kept clean, but was dated. We enjoy modern decor, but couldnt find any anywhere. For the price bills was great. The front desk workers were pleasant, honest, and helpful. Housekeeping did their jobs well. The bartenders were friendly and even gave us helpful hints for dining.

Hotel badly needs updating. They will close to do this. Front desk wanted extra money to check in before 3 PM. Once in the room they needed updating badly. Closing hotel with great location is the right thing to do.

Dec 9-14, 2012 was to be my last stay at the Bill's we know. It will close in Feb of 2013 for two years of total remodel into what Caesar's/Harrah's calls a boutique hotel (with a new pool on the roof). As usual the service at Bill's was outstanding. They upgraded me to a two room suite on the second floor with a bar and two bathrooms. Even my gambling at Bill's seemed to be better this time. The only small complaint this year was the absence of wait staff at the poker machines in the rear of the casino. But, hey....you gamble better sober anyway. Where will the "frugal" Las Vegas vacationer go when Bill's and Imperial Palace (now, The Quad) go when these two great places leave the strip and reinvent themselves to a more "upscale" (which in Vegas terms means more expensive) venues? Looks like, here we come Freemont Street! Just the old time ambiance of Bill's was good enough for me. I liked a casino hotel that only took you 5 minutes or less to get from your room to The Strip. Farewell Bill's Gambling Hall, you will be missed

I give them a 5 for price and location and a 3 on hotel quality.

I stayed on the weekend before New Year's in 2012, so a lot of hotels were either booked or really expensive. Bill's was less than half the price compared to the giant hotels that surround it on the strip. The location can't be beat, right on the corner of Flamingo and the strip. It's an easy walk to Caesar's, the Bellagio, Ballys, and the Cosmopolitan. The hotel is definitely old, and they're planning to demolish it in Feb 2013.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but there were a few things that were a bit off. The hallways smelled strongly of cleaning solvent, although I suppose that's better than smelling like cigarettes. A few other annoying things include the tub that didn't drain well, being placed next to the Housecleaning office and hearing the door open and close all morning, and the lack of a "Do Not Disturb" sign in the room that we could hang on the door.

So, this might not be the hotel for you, but it's worth giving a shot if you'd rather spend your money on the food/drinks/gambling/shows in Las Vegas instead of the hotel.
