1. this is a fantastic hotel , as an ex smoker ( about 2 weeks ) it was great to stay here as unlike many places in the USA allows smoking as much as in vegas ( you can smoke in most casinos) the room we had was overlooking the strip we where a party of 6 guys and i had the sofa bed in the lounge with a separate door to the bathroom i did not have to disturb the guys in the bedroom , the staff could not do enough for you form breakfast staff topping your coffee mug every time you needed it to housekeeping getting little things for you , will stay here again it is a short walk to the strip but try going the other way we found some nice restaurants just behind the hotel its the size of the rooms and the staff that make this a great place to stay , you do not need a casino plenty to visit else where but its heated pool is nice in november when the weather is a bit colder.
