I've gone every year with friends for a 3-day weekend for the past 10 years. I am a club member and my stay is usually less than $100 total. It is \"old\" Vegas as in literally old (for the strip) and tacky like the old days. If you want Bellagio, Walk up the strip. This is a great place to crash and to gamble.\n\nIt has cheap rooms, cheap food, and cheap gambling on the strip. If you want to go to a fancy club, get in a cab. You want to stare at beautiful people? Get in a cab. You want an inexpensive place to eat, drink, gamble, and sleep? You've found it!\n\nThe rooms with balconies are priceless. There are NO open balconies left on the strip except here. The rooms are classic cheese. EVERY room has a burnt iron mark on the floor and comforters with cig burns. (Who is ironing clothes that stays here???) \n\nI am a moderate gambler. You can find 5 dollar tables and there are some nice dealers. You want to pay $15 per hand minimum? Walk South down the strip.\n\nThe Nascar theme is NOT classic and thankfully is sequestered to an avoidable part of the casino. The Caravan Cafe is fantastic - think 1970's truck stop at a Howard Johnson's without the diesel fumes. A lot of old fat people rave about the cheap buffet; that's all it is is cheap cafeteria food. Speed the ride is pretty sick. It is near the buffet and I sometimes like to go on it after I just gorged myself.
