8. I was afraid to stay downtown based on all the 'Negative' reviews posted about how shady it is and how gross and disgusting the hotels and casinos are, But we had a blast, this was the funnest trip I have had yet, the only bad part about this trip was when we checked out and moved to the Imperial Palace on the Strip (Please read my review for that one) I can honestly say that we all had more fun downtown then we did on the strip and we spent a lot less time walking and a lot less money downtown than on the strip.
