We got a pretty juicy deal so for the money, this hotel was alright. We're big Mandalay and Arria fans, so it's tough for this older hotel to compete. It's in a great location, middle of the strip. We did the early check in for $30 at 10:30 - well worth is as we didn't have to wait long to check in. We got a pass for the pool and went back at 11. We were able to get chairs at the pool, but it would have been tough after 10 am on Saturday. The pool area is really nice - great shade/sun areas and nice big pool. \n\nTypical Vegas - it was pretty smoky in the casino (Mandalay and Arria don't seem that smokey?) and BB King's and Cravings are pretty good for breakfast. \n\nThe rooms have been upgraded well. Be aware that if they give you a \"mountain view\" room you'll be looking out onto the roof. It's ok though - we weren't looking for a view this time. The bed was comfy, but the walls and doors are thin - I could hear our neighbor peeing next door and lots of noise in the hall. \n\nTeeny bathroom, which didn't bother me as much as the nasty shower head - for the love of God. Upgrade those things!\n\nService was quick and friendly. We'd stay here again if we got another sweet deal.
