Enjoyed Terrible's Hotel & Casino
by TripAdvisor Member UrbaniteYork
We stayed at Terrible's three nights in August. Room average was only $60 per night. The things that matter to me were there: good towels, nice water pressure in the shower, cleanliness, a great and uncrowded pool/jacuzzi. I asked for a quiet room and got it. A lot less noise and crowds than when staying on the Strip. A short walk from the Hard Rock Cafe. Friendly staff. Good food and good value in the cafe. It's not fancy, but it's very nice.
Not quite Terrible but almost

For the price, the hotel is okay, but next time I'd pay more money for a better location, nicer room, and better food. The bell service were rude, shuttle late or no showed. Front desk always busy.
Great place to play and stay

Loved The Pool!!!

Hubby and I spent 5 nights at Terrible's last week and had a wonderful time. We had a poolside (or garden view) room on the first floor. A handicap smoking, which did not smell of smoke as so many smoking rooms do. Plenty of room and comfy bed. I wish the pillows had been fluffier....sigh.
I spent my days at the Pool while Hubby hit the Poker rooms. Nice pool, not croweded with plenty of chairs, sunny and shady spots. The big draw back with the pool is that as mentioned in another review, it closes at 6 PM.
Like another reviewer, I needed an iron and board twice on this trip and it was delivered in minutes. We didn't try the buffet, but the cafe was decent food and extremely affordable. Being from the Midwest, we had no trouble getting there before 7 AM for the Graveyard Specials. Good pancakes, OK French Toast, and everything else was good. Locals seem to like the cafe and it was fun listing to casino employees from other casinos talk about their "day" while we ate breakfast in the mornings.
The rooms were clean and the furnishing were not worn. We liked the fact it is not on the strip. Once you were away from the Casino area, it was so peaceful, you had no idea of all the action going on just blocks away. With the money we saved on this room, we rented a car and took a day trip on Sunday. (Mt. Charleston....a waste of time IMHO.) But with so many points on your Player's card, you can use it to put gas in your rental at the Terrible's Herbst Chevron Stations, that seem to be everywhere!
We played in the Casino some, lots of penny, nickle and quarter slots. Short on the $1. Basic table games and frequented by locals. Couldn't get near the cashier on Friday evening, with the cash your paycheck and win a car promotions. But that was the only time we felt crowded by local folks.
I racked up some points on my Player's card, so I will see what kind of deal I can get with them the next trip, and yes we will stay at Terrible's again.
What a Pleasant Surprise!

I was kicked-out of my house for three-days due to termite fumigation. Living in SoCal the kneejerk reaction is GO TO VEGAS!
I chose Terrible's basically as a novelty idea. I couldn't get the $29 mid-week rate and was charged $59. No big deal.
You get what you pay for. I saw what seemed to be the $29 rooms on the first floor. They appeared to be "just average". My room was on the second floor and looked brand new and was rather large. Who spends much time in a Vegas hotel room anyway?
Initially, the room didn't have a remote control for the TV. I called the front desk and by the time I got back from a quick tour of the casino, the RC was delivered to the room.
Not the greatest location as it is a few blocks east of The Strip, but the advantage of that is somewhat less traffic. The only major casino within a quick walk is the Hard Rock.
I doubt I would ever stay there again, but it was fun for one night.
cosy comfortable and a bargain

We stayed at terrible for 3 nights in october 2003. the hotel was a little older but clean and comfortable. The food was tasty and very reasonable in price. Use the coupon book for deals. There were many small coin slots and we had a ball playing them. I have no problem recommending this hotel. it is about a 20 minute walk to the strip but you can catch a bus across the street.

We are staying at the Paris and I was wondering if there are any liquor stores (and other grocery type stores for that matter!) within walking distance.

As you walk out Paris and go left there are several liquor stores as well as a drug store with OK prices on wine/beer/liquor, etc. across the street. A short walk unless it is 110.

Also, there is an ABC store in the shopping arcade at The Aladdin(next door)We were buying our water, sodas and snacks there. Everything is really cheap. I don't know that they sell liquor, though. I was surprised that the Walgreen's does not sell liquor.

Remember that legally hotels cannot allow you to bring liqour bought outside into the rooms for consumption
"No beverage or liquor shall be consumed on the premises except that which is sold by the licensee. "
I know noone ever enforces this but hey,

heartofgold If you are still wondering... Bally's which is connected to Paris sell liquor in the one shop just to the right of check in past the entry door and if you go down stairs towards the pool, they sell liquor at the shop on the left as you exit the escalator. I always bring my own liquor, but if I happen to run out I would always resupply at one of these stores, the price is decent... considering the minimal walking distance...

terribles casino at flamingo and paradise has a convenience store inside it - sells liquor - house wine ain't bad
there is also a terribles liquor store in the Orleans
Terribles casino, in case you don't have a car, is quick bus or cab ride from corner of Flamingo and Strip = catch bus going E at foot of escalator that services bridge to Barbary - actual stop is just E of elevator for same bridge; Terribles is on SE corner of paradise rd and flamingo-bus stops right in front of the casino/hotel-while you're there, might try the Bouganvillea Cafe, their 24/7 rest - good food cheap - nothing fancy
To return to Strip, catch bus a bit W of the NW corner of paradise and flamingo - structure , can't miss it
