I go to the Palace Station every time I go to Las Vegas. If you like seafood gumbo, the Oyster Bar here has the best!
One time, I attended a conference that was held in the Palace Station, so I got the group rate. Unfortunately, the room was in the motel part of the hotel. You actually have to cut through an alley behind the hotel to get to the motel. I saw some type of insect in the bathroom. The room was less than optimal and very cheap looking. Knowing there was an insect in the room, I had the "heebie-jeebies"! I stayed out of the room as much as possible.
The second day, I saw a different type of insect on the bathroom mirror! So, I ain't planning on sleeping at all! I was so uncomfortable, but I had to get some rest as I was heading back home in the morning.
Now, the hotel has excellent shuttle services to the Strip as well as to McCarran.
If you stay at the Palace Station, beware of the motel part of the hotel!
