text: Oh city of lights and unimaginable gambling losses, how your dazzling displays of everything one's sinful side could desire, Donwtown LV has completely failed me.  I never want to see you ever again.\n\nI should start by explaining that my 11 year old sister is pretty much a softball goddess and much of my recent traveling, less my honeymoon, was a result of many of her tournaments.  This is no exception.  Now I understand that the team arranged for us to stay at this $80 for 3 nights crapzilla of a hotel/casino but does it make any sense at all to have 12 and under little girls staying directly across from Glitter Gulch?!\n\nAnyhow, you might think that there is some hope for this hotel because it's casino levels restrooms are immaculate.  Granite counter tops, glass tile detailing, new crown molding.  Goodness, did they renovate the whole joint?\n\nNO.\n\nLet me start by noting that almost everyone who works in Downtown Las Vegas is ugly.  I'm used to the glitzi glam of the Strip's staff, most of whom got their jobs for how they look in a ridiculous casino costume.  Not in the Plaza.  This is where ugly went to procreate.\n\nEach tower of the Plaza has about 6 elevators, 2 of which actually work resulting in a line every time you have to get to your room.  Not to mention the fact that for some reason the parking structure is dark even in the daylight?!  Is it possible that this place is so depressing DAYLIGHT doesn't even want anything to do with it?\n\nThen you get into the room and though they look seemingly spacious, the bathrooms are worse than gas station bathrooms, the beds are like 50 years old and you can't help but constantly remind yourself not to touch anything because they probably didn't wash off the essence of hookers left around this sorry excuse for lodging.  I would rather be at a Motel 6 than this place.\n\nTo wrap up this rant disguised as a review, the AC/Heater is so loud that you can't sleep with it on.  The minifridge seems like someone used it to preserve roadkill, the buffet that we got comped seemed to not understand what a fresh vegetable was and lastly, the odds sucked.  This hotel took my Vegas spirit and my money.  I hate it.
