Plaza motel, Overton.: When there's nothing else!!!!!!!

by pfsmalo

Actually this motel did not turn us on at all, but having driven down from Kanab UT. I was getting tired so we pulled in. Frankly at first view of the owner (or Manager) my wife wanted to pull straight out again. But we decided to have a look at the room and was very pleasantly surprised by the clean smell and general cleanliness. Bathroom was spotless and the sheets passed my wife's searches. I can only think that the housekeeper really know's her stuff. As the title suggests when there's nothing else. As Overton is not really a lively jumping sort of place, even had to have b'fast at the McDonalds just down the road.

Paid $40 for a double tax inc.

None

The Excalibur: Horrible Las Vegas Hotel

by maemae11

Tower 1 was severely outdated and dirty. The decor was ugly, carpet was dirty, walls and pillowcases were stained, no wireless internet, tiny television, and the room was stale. The casino smells horribly like cigarettes (which the other casinos dont have this stench). The room service platters stayed in the hallways all day long, which because this was my only trip there and it was NYE, I don't know if that was a norm for that hotel. The price was too much for the quality of the room. I know it was NYE but it felt like I was staying in a motel 8 for Hilton prices.

We told the staff we didn't like the room but because we came for New Year's, they didn't have any more rooms available. But they told us to come the next morning and try to get a room in Tower 2 because that tower had recently been upgraded. We then told them one of our pillowcases was dirty and they came kind of quickly (since it was NYE) to give us two new pillows.

Prefer Comfort to Ostentatious Shrine?: Hard Rock Haven

by travelingteri

If you are looking for a hotel with atmosphere in Vegas, love music, and prefer comfortable to ostentatious shrine,you will thoroughly enjoy your stay at the Hard Rock Hotel; Though it is a bit off the strip, it was a nice repreive from the overzealous crowds of the strip. The concerts at the Hard Rock are first rate and affordable. We recently caught the incredible band, MUSE, http://www.muse.mu/; here and enjoyed one of the best concerts witnessed in ages!http://www.hardrockhotel.com/;4455 Paradise Road
Las Vegas, NV 89169, (800) 473-7625

Perfect for the music lover, with a concert hall to boot!

Circus Circus: Inexpensive Room

by TheCheeryCynic

Circus Circus is actually connected to the Silver Legacy and El Dorado, but it is by far the most inexpensive of the 3. People were paying double the price to stay at the Silver Legacy, and I don't understand why. The room was clean, beds, were comfortable, the exercise room was a joke, but if you're traveling you should have barely anytime to work out anyway.

The casino at the Circus Circus was definitely the lower end of the 3. Dark and dirty. Stay in their rooms, gamble over at the Silver Legacy, much classier.

Circus game room for the kids.

Treasure Island: Great Las Vegas' Themed Hotel

by kearkg

this was a great hotel to stay in for LV, especially one of the cheapest at $60 USD a night.
when i was there, we went for an awesome cirque du soleil show that was staged within the hotel.
it is a very spacious hotel with a nice sized gambling area (even though i don't gamble) and many themed restaurants and shops.
it close to other hotels such as Caesar's Palace and the Wynn Hotel.

had a great view looking down the strip as this hotel is close to 1 end of the strip.

Bills Resort and Casino: Western Style & Family Fun!

by Yaqui

Buffalo Bills is a 1242-room resort, owned by the MGM/Mirage Corporation. This western-themed hotel boasts a buffalo-shaped swimming pool and a large - 46,000-square foot -- casino. One of the highlights of Buffalo Bills is the "Desperado" roller coaster, which is 225-feet tall and reaches speeds of up to 95 mph.

We've ventured in here a lot of times. I like the old western decor is pretty neat. Lots of things to look at all around you. Kids really love this place because of all the amusement rides. So please check out the web sites about the rides.

Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino: Historic Charm

by Yaqui

Colorado Belle attracted us because it was a replica of a 19th Century Mississippi Paddlewheel Riverboat that is over 600 Ft Long and 6 Decks high. We didn't stay in a very fancy room, but it had a lovely balcony and view of the river. We sat out there at night just admiring the beautiful river at night. I will admit the river is not the prettist, but it is sure cooling during the very hot summer months.

They have this wonderful riverwalk along the river. This hotel has live and electronic games.

The Colorado Belle hotel has rooms aboard the boat and two towers, offering over 1,167 hotel rooms, many with spectacular views.

Unique Qualities: Aboard the "boat", the Belle has 49 suites, each with either a jacuzzi-type tub or massaging, multiple-head shower, two velour robes, and many other hotel amenities to make your stay even more special.

They have two beautiful heated (to 80°) swimming pools, one for each tower, and a 14-person bubbling spa. In the summer, hotel’s sandy beach is home to a personal watercraft rental company, and throughout the year hotel guests may stroll and sunbathe along the beach.

Colorado Belle hotel & casino has the largest restaurant line up on the river.
Among our many dining venues are the Boiler Room--an award-winning Microbrewery and restaurant; Mark Twain's Chicken, Ribs & Steaks--voted best barbecue; the Mississippi Lounge--Laughlin's only fresh seafood bar; the Captain's Buffet, Paddlewheel 24-hour restaurant.

Wydham Grand Desert: A Great Family Place!

by Yaqui

We stayed here our last visit and I can honestly say we really enjoyed this place. It is very family orientated. Our room to me was more like a 4.5 star hotel. Really nicely decorated and had all the luxuries anyone could need. Our view was simply awesome to say the least. Plus, it is close enough, yet far enough away from the strip if that makes sense?! You can walk to the strip with no problem. Plenty of free parking. Each tower has it own pool area, but over in the main pool area, they had happy hour for the adults...yay! Live entertainment and they have a wonderful game room for the kids with loads of activities. They have a mini cafeteria and a little general store. They even have an adult pool area, which was really relaxing and very quiet. I was really impressed with the service at the front desk and the concierge services. They were really helpful in finding some of the museums. Vegas is growing and changing and so do some of the locations of the activities, so it might be a good idea to check with the concierge desk first.

Located a mile from Las Vegas Boulevard at the famed Strip's center, puts you close to world-famous Vegas thrills, yet far enough away to savor family-friendly fun, too. If you like active vacations, this modern, high-energy resort has a big choice of recreational amenities to make your Las Vegas stay a guaranteed winner.

MGM Grand: The Strip

by JFro082

I've stayed a few different hotels in Vegas, and my favorite is definitely the MGM Grand. The beds are so comfortable and I think it's just a nice place to go back to after a looooong day in the desert. In all honesty though, this hotel gets my vote because of the pool. When it comes to Vegas, I like to base my hote choice on the pool. I like to spend my day laying at the pool drinking, and the MGM has a lazy river that winds around the property with a beautiful view of the hotel. I like just being able to stumble out of bed and not having to travel down the strip for a place to lay out for a while.
Excluding the pool, though, my general recomendation for a hotel in Vegas is definitely something on the strip. I have stayed off the strip and it is such a pain getting around. One time my friends rented an SUV and drove us everywhere, but honestly we were there to party, so someone always had to stay sober to drive. I recently stayed at Rio which was fine, except that it is away from everything (as is the Palms). We took a taxi everywhere and it got quite expensive. There are good deals to be found for hotels on the strip, and even if they are a little bit more than ones that are off the strip, it's worth it in both travel time and cab fare.
Even the MGM is a little out of the way. It is on one end of the strip, so if you need to be at the other, a taxi is sometimes unavoidable. I recently stayed at Paris, which has a central location on the strip, and I don't recall ever getting in a car our entire weekend.

I have stayed in both the cheapest and the more expensive rooms at the MGM and they have been very clean and very comfortable. Like I said, i love sitting by the lazy river during the day. You can rent innertubes to float around in, but we would usually would get down to the pool about noon and people were already leaving so they just gave us tubes. They also have a nice VIP pool. In the summer it starts out slow, but by the end of the day it is usually packed with drunk people throwing eachother around in the water and loud club music. If this isn't your scene then you aren't missing out anything by just staying at the regualr pool. For all of the VIP pools that I know about in Vegas, chairs usually cost about $50-$100 per person with drink mins. I know the cabanas at MGM's VIP pool, Wet Republic, go for a couple grand in the middle of the summer.

Treasure Island: Great Hotels

by travelchd

This hotel was great. We had a room with a great view of the strip, staff were friendly, they put off their own show which is free to attend and the hotel was cheaper than many of the others.
