The hotel is large, cheap (we payed $50 for the night), and aesthetically pleasing. I was actually surprised how great it looked, and there's even a nice looking shark tank by the pool. The burger place in the casino area - \"The Grille\" - is somewhat overpriced. A cheeseburger and fries will run you $10, but since the hotel is located in downtown anyway, I doubt there's cheaper food. Location is prime; right on Fremont Street, there is a lot to do in the night. There's live music, some entertainment, and more casinos than you could count. I disliked smoking being permitted in the common areas. I have no problem with the casino being a smoking area, but the lobby, shopping areas within the casino, and restaurants should not permit smoking. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.
