FIT FOR A QUEEN, INDEED!
Just returned from a 3 night stay at the 4 Queens. Usually stay at the Golden Nugget, but was getting pretty shabby at last visit in Jan 2007 and they wanted a high rate for this weekend. Heard that the 4 Queens just renovated all their rooms, so we gave it a shot. What a delight! We booked a Jacuzzi Suite at avg. $200/night. It consists of 2 med/small rooms. A king bed, 2 nightstands, table for 2 and TV armoire with 32" plasma tv & refrigerator. Sitting room with a sofa, chair, 2 ottomans, 2 end tables, coffee service and a spacious, mirrored jacuzzi for 2. Ample closet space, Small bathroom, however. A few oldish items remained - bath mirror and counter, closet and some paint slops, etc... NEW--carpet, furniture, drapes, wall paper, bed/bedding, sink, tub/shower-tiled and bath floor. VERY nice!! Downside is NO safe or microwave for leftovers. No pool, either.
Unique Quality: Friendly & accomodating staff at EVERY level!! Magnolia's has great breakfast with fab hash browns for $5/with players card. Decent food w/no complaints. Chicago Brewing Co and Hugo's Cellar are nice spots, also. Casino is nice/fairly elegant. Did well at the slots and blackjack tables. They comped us all meals and the room at the end of our stay and we are low/mid road gamblers. I am fairly picky about my room and would not hesitate to stay here again, and probably will in August!! The convenience to walk to several other casino's is a real fun factor, as is the Fremont St Experience overhead and the live music/entertainment. Had no elevator problems, as others have reported. Great shower pressure!! Fourteenth floor room in the North Tower with not much of a spectacular view, but Binion's time and temp and some neon around town. The renovated rooms are actually gorgeous!!!
