Third time we've stayed here and I do believe it has improved each time we stayed.  The people that staff the hotel and the Carson Street Cafe are very nice and while friendly, they are still very efficient.\n\nGet a rental, stay downtown and visit the strip at your leisure, using the Valet service to save yourself from from all the walking.  Be sure to tip the Valets and any other Service personnel.  They exist  to make your visit more fun.
