Why People Love It

7.5⭐6435 reviews
  • The only dedicated pickleball courts in a Vegas hotel casino
  • Oscar's Steakhouse offers iconic 'old Vegas' dining inside a glass dome
  • Resort fee actually includes self-parking (a rarity in Vegas)

Quick Take: A historic Downtown icon that’s surprisingly solid if you book a Luxe room, but a noisy nostalgia trip if you don't.

Reviewed by @Nesiankiwigal: I stayed in Room 406 and for a budget trip, it did the job. It’s definitely not fancy—just the basics—but I actually liked the view of the Fremont canopy. If you'd rather spend your cash on the tables than the room, I recommend crashing here. Cheers!

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the value, the pickleball, and the vibe, but everyone warns about the noise on the Fremont side.

Reality check

The 'Deluxe' rooms feel like 1995, while the 'Luxe' rooms feel like 2025—know what you're booking.

  • You play pickleball (12 rooftop courts!)
  • You want to be Downtown but need a real pool deck
  • You are driving and refuse to pay $25/day for parking elsewhere

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.2
  • Housekeeping: Daily service available. Luxe rooms are consistently reported as very clean.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Luxe bathrooms are modern and spotless. Older Deluxe bathrooms can feel dingy/small.
  • Maintenance: Luxe rooms are fresh. Deluxe rooms show age (worn carpet, older AC units).
  • Linens & towels: Crisp and fresh in Luxe rooms; standard hotel quality otherwise.
  • Odors & scents: Casino floor is smoky, but rooms (especially Luxe) are generally fresh. Smoke-free slot area is a relief.

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Pool Patio Room (opens directly onto the pool deck, unique for Vegas)

Rooms to avoid

  • Standard/Deluxe rooms (dated decor, small bathrooms)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am requesting a 'Luxe King' in the South Tower, facing the Strip/South. Quiet is my top priority. If unavailable, a North Tower room facing the mountains is my second choice.”
