My family goes to Vegas two or three times a year. We stay here almost every time - I've also stayed in Circus Circus, Tropicana, and Bally's. I've literally stayed here more than a dozen times.\n\nThe rooms are okay, nothing fancy. The comforters are made of a cheap material, so they aren't very soft to the touch, but they're warm. The suites with the two beds and a couch are pretty nice, and they have jacuzzi bathtubs which are nice, and some of them have an additional shower (with a fold-down seat - convenient if you have a disability). No free internet, which is a little annoying. \n\nThe pool is great, but this past year it was extremely crowded. It also used to have nice fake-rock decoration, but they recently took that all down, which is a bummer. The gym is tiny, just a few bikes and treadmills really, but it was clean. The store by the pool is overpriced, but honestly, that's no big surprise. \n\nThe shops are nothing special. I always like to walk around these shops anyway. There are a few clothing stores, one of which has designer-priced clothes that are nothing special. There's a few knick-knack shops, which are pretty neat. There's a small toy store, a leather store, a few others. It's a long walk to get to the end of the shops, and no easy way to get back - you walk all the way one way, and all the way back. Not a whole lot of late-night dining options - Lucky's Cafe, McDonald's, and Starbucks, essentially. \nThe restaurants are all right. The buffet is a generic Vegas buffet. It's reasonably priced and they have a lot to offer, and the servers are generally nice. Roxy's diner is another generic diner. The wait staff will sing, which is pretty neat, and they are usually conversation-heavy. The food is tasty but maybe a little pricey for a burger and coke. Fellini's restaurant is a good one, for sure. the steak is pretty good, and their pasta is good too. The waiters are all experienced and know what they're talking about, and though I don't drink, they have an extensive bar. The desserts are also pretty amazing.\n\nThe location is... well, less than perfect. It's a loooong walk just about everywhere, and the public transportation is packed to the brim. The traffic is usually bad directly on the strip, but using backroads makes it more convenient - bring a car if you stay here!!! If you're looking for a central location on the strip, look elsewhere for sure! \n\nIt's not a bad place, but considering the many options you have in Vegas, it's not that great. I'd personally be willing to shell out a few extra bucks for a better location, since in the summer it's very, very hot and not really walking weather (and, yes, it DOES get cold in the winter). If you do stay here, I suggest you spend most of your time in other hotels - this one doesn't have much to offer. The night you come, eat at Fellini's and go up to the top of the tower, but after that you should spend the rest of your time wandering about the other hotels.
