text: We planned a trip to Vegas over 4th of July weekend, and we decided to bring our dog this time around. We love having him around...he's old and mellow and he wants to be with us, too. We also wanted to avoid the strip as it was a holiday weekend and we're getting a bit old for the craziness (watch it, not THAT old)...but, you know what I mean. \n\nCheck in was very easy, they gave us a treat for the pooch. The rooms are nice and clean. The showers are getting a little dingy and the TVs are pretty old...but I did see a sign that they are upgrading to flat-screen in the coming weeks. The free breakfast is what you'd expect - be prepared to fight off children for your waffle...or, any free food for that matter. \n\nThe grassy area is GREAT for the dogs...they can keep their paws cool in that heat, and they have poopy bags. The little gym they have isn't bad either - I got in one work out at least! The only problem I really had with the hotel was the pool. Granted, we KNEW this wasn't going to be the Bellagio, but, by the time we wanted to take a dip around 7pm one night, the pool was quite cloudy, there were no towels and there were a TON of kids in the pool. Now, I know this isn't particularly the hotels fault - but, I did see people looking for towels throughout the day. \n\nWe would definitely stay at this hotel again if we were traveling with the dog....I even recommended this place to my dad, who will like it for the price and the free shuttle to the strip. We didn't love all the kids (particularly teenagers) at this place, but again, the hotel doesn't have control over that. You get what you pay for and if you're traveling with an animal, this place really fits the bill....but, next time I'll bring my own beach towels and cocktails for the pool! :-)  FYI...trying to give this 3.5 stars...but couldn't figure out how to do so....
