I usually write positive reviews, and usually let the bad one drop. Just the way
I am.. But this hotel has become so awful, that it is important, I believe, to
let everyone know, and I felt compelled to write. I will try to be fair as I
describe the hotel On the plus side, the rooms were very cheap, and there was
availability during a very busy weekend when other hotels in the area were full.
That should have been a red flag, however.
The major problem is the noise and ambience of the hotel part. While the casino
is huge, and the who facility is equally large (includes a small convention
center, lots of restaurants), the hotel part is very small, just five floors.
The rooms, by Vegas standards, are sub par. They are small, about the size of a
Red Roof Inn, and in fact that is what they feel like. The rooms, while kept
clean by the staff, are old, dingy, with torn wall paper, old carpets, no
closet, but an open hanger area with hangers that can't be removed (because, I
guess, they expect their guests to steal the hangers). The bathroom is spartan.
The TV is an old, analogue, 27" with few channels. There IS internet connection,
and it is "free" (it is tacked on as one of the perkis to the $13 a night
"resort fee" which you have no choice but to pay, but at least you get the
internet as part of the deal.... SO I can write this bad review from THEIR
internet!).
The biggest problem is the noise. This is one of the noisiest hotels I have
stayed in. The rooms walls are paper thin, so you can hear the tv in the next
room, even when your neighbor has it on low. One half of the rooms are over the
pool area, and last night there were no less than 20 teenagers screaming and
shouting an pushing their friends in the water, past midnight, although the pool
was officially closed. ANY noise outside the door seems to blast into the room.
And people in las Vegas, you know are, well , ah, often well-imbibed, and all
night long I was awakened to loud talking as people went down the hall. So, have
of the problem is incredibly cheap rooms with no sound cushioning at all.
But the second half of the problem is that, for some reason, this hotel seems to
be attracting large, loud families, with screaming kids, inconsiderate teens,
and equally loud and inconsiderate parents. There is a real low-class feel to
the place (and trust me, I am the LEAST snobby person in the world) --- I
honestly did not feel safe most of the time, mostly because of this
aggressiveness that permeated the place. No other way to describe it.

In terms of the food, I only had breakfast at the "Feast" Buffet, and that was
enough to decide not not eat any other meals there. It was, by far the worst
buffet experience I have had in Las Vegas in 30 years of coming her. Honestly.
No hyperbole. The worst. There was very little selection --- about the same
level as a very good Hampton Inn. Although the buffet is standard size, with
lots of areas that are obviously used for later meals, at breakfast, just two
small areas have the food... SO, everyone, and that is a lot of people, were
crowded into one small area, most of them waiting for the one lone cook to make
eggs. Really, it was both pathetic and frustrating, and while it WAS cheap, for
a couple of dollars more you can go to any other buffet and have a REAL feast.
Really, their food service manager should not keep his or her job, it is an
embarrassment.
So between the horrible rooms, the incredible noise, the rough atmosphere, and
the awful food, you have one of the worst hotel experiences possible in Vegas.
And you know, there is such a glut of rooms in the city, that you can easily
find, for a few dollars more a night, a fabulous resort with the opposite of all
of my complaints.

It's funny reading the reviews after my visit. The front desk lady was pleasant
and explained the $14 service fee but gave a credit back so it was $5.59 / day.
Most Vegas hotels are doing it now. The first thing you will notice is the bad
smoke smell. Ventilation system is not even close to the newer hotels / casinos.
Booked here to be close to some events. It is out of the way and not in the best
part of town. Let's just say it's not the most integrated neighborhood if you
know what I mean. Lots of locals there for weddings and high school graduation
ceremonies that cleared out at night. They were all very well dressed and we
never felt these folks were gangsters or anything like that. We did like the
convenience of the restaurants, bowling, bars, and starbucks all being close by
and the parking was easy. Had breakfast at the buffet once and it was so so.
They had an omelet guy but the line was too long. The pancakes and waffles were
cold and hard. Next time we'll stay somewhere more convenient with better air
quality.

One of North Las Vegas' old hotel still boast on of the best steakhouse in all
of Las Vegas. The rooms are clean and surprisingly larger than some you will
find downtown. Situated close to North Las Vegas Airport (KVGT) it is a perfect
location for GA or company pilots to spend the night and be less than a mile
from the plane. Recommended
Area recommendations
I highly recommend the south west side. The South Point hotel is a great
property and away from the strip. Good food and accommodations.
