For our purposes, the location was GREAT. Not being directly on the strip has many advantages. The casino was huge compared to some others. It seemed like you couldn't smell any tobacco smoke in the casino AT ALL. Believe me...I have horrible allergies. The food was great, and the people were extremely helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I was very impressed with the bed...you just sink into it...haven't slept like that in a while!! They offer a shuttle service (for free) to and from the strip. This is the best place! Everything you could ever want under one roof!
