Why People Love It

7.56435 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 @NesiankiwigalI 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.

Before you book

Good to know

  • Resort fee (~$44) covers self-parking, which saves you ~$20-30/day compared to neighbors.
  • The pool is heated year-round, a huge plus for winter visits.
  • Brian Christopher Slots area is a dedicated smoke-free gaming zone.

What to pack

  • Pickleball paddle (courts are pro-level)
  • Earplugs (essential if you end up in the North Tower)
  • Bathing suit (pool is open 365 days)

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Luxe Room, South Tower, Strip View (quietest + renovated)
  • Pool Patio Room (opens directly onto the pool deck, unique for Vegas)

Rooms to avoid

  • North Tower rooms facing Fremont Street (noise hazard)
  • 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.
