i stayed here because it was the most inexpensive hotel i could find for my friend's birthday. there was what looked to be BLOOD in the sink, the towels literally had dirt on them. the sheets and pillow cases had cigarette burns in them, there was a "suspicious" stain on the floor next to the bed. while we were sleeping, a large motorcycle gang (maybe 30 people or more???) was outside blaring loud music, having a party and yelling from about midnight until approx. 4am. we called the front desk about 5 times to complain and ask them to get security to shut the people up. they refused. then at 6am, the motorcycle gang started up again, reving their engines, talking loud, playing music. we called again, still no help. when we checked out, we demanded a refund and luckily we got one. it turns out, that night, because the motorcycle gang was SO scary, several staff members QUIT and the entire lobby was filled with complaining hotel guests, all demanding their money back. this place is DISGUSTING. do NOT stay here.

Just want to let everyone know that this hotel/motel is at the far end of the strip, like 3 blocks the other side of the Stratosphere and Sahara. So its a hike to the strip. Close to Fremont though. We ended up getting 2 nights with tax for 111.15. Great Price. We checked in and were directed to our room, which was not in the main building where the lobby is located. There are 2 buildings, 1 where the lobby is and then another building which doesn't attach the the hotel lobby, more of a MOTEL than a hotel, i'd say, anyway, so they stuck us in the "motel" part. The room was 110 degrees, there was an a/c unit, but it was more of a "in the wall ai conditioner" and boy was it LOUD. So the room is small, ran down and looks NOTHING like the pictures that we saw on the internet. I made up my mind I wasn't staying there. I went to the lobby and asked for the manager, I explained my complaints to him and he said, "no worries, I will upgrade you". I feel that they advertised one room on the web in hopes of booking their rooms and then when you get there they stick you in the most run down rooms that they have. Only when I complained was I offered a better room, a room like the one that I saw on the web.

So after we got our stuff moved to the new room, things were good. A little skimpy on the towels and the shower pressure wasn't the greatest, but what do you expect for 50 bucks a night, right?

A good option if you don,t find accomodation in the principal hotels. Near the strip. no noise, clean and gently people working on it. A nice place to stay for what you pay. We stay there the last weekend of april 2007. My husband and I were very scare for what we read in the reviews, but everything was ok.

So my confirmed reservation at at Bally's didn't exist on their computer system when I tried to check-in at the airport. So, I needed a hotel room on a Saturday night on what seemed to be the busiest Sat ever in Vegas. For example, Marriott had no rooms within 50 miles! Everywhere I called was sold out.

Finally I was grateful to get the room here.

Shuttle driver from the airport gently ribbed me regarding location - the 'less desirable' end of the strip apparently although "I should be OK if I stick to the strip". Its far end of the strip - its really downtown - not a great location, little going on other than weddings. Certainly not 'strip central'. However, as my main concern was sleeping after a trans-alantic flight it wasn't an issue.

First impressions: Not bad internally. Nice room overlooking pool. Bit basic but what do you expect. Free wifi worked well. The Cuban style cafe on site is relatively lively and is entirely adequate for a sandwich and beer.

The downside: Thin walls, hear people moving above and in corridor. Room could have been cleaner – the edges and under the bed weren’t great.

Light switching system poor. Light by the bed is controlled by the master switch by the door - which also controls the entrance area light. No master light switch by the bed. Yes, the light by the bed can be turned off independently but this doesn't turn the entrance area light off. Turning the entrance area light off (using master switch by door) results in bedside light being turned off. Net effect is that you MUST turn light off by the door and thus make your way to the bed in darkness - madness.

So in summary, entirely adequate. I paid $250+ for the night which was outrageous (its really a $50-$70 per night place IMHO) but when every hotel room in the city is full (and as I checked in they were quoting $300 per night for their last 5 rooms which they sold judging by the 'sold out' posters on the doors this morning) it was a bed for the night and could have been worse – a lot worse.
