I was looking for a cheap but decent hotel and got TI after checking out www.hoteldealsrevealed.com and using Priceline.  $60 for mid-week rate and $85 for weekend is not bad.\n\nThe location of this hotel is great - very much in the heart of the Strip and also across from the mall (which my wife liked).\n\nWe ended up getting an upgrade to a suite with a view and the view was amazing.  We were looking south down the Strip and had hourly views of the volcano show at the Mirage from our hotel room.\n\nThe rooms are nice, having been refurbished recently.\n\nI really enjoyed the pool area quite a bit, but the crowd was a little too young for me and by the end of the day, it was just gross.  People drinking in the pool all day -- spilt drinks and who knows what else is in the water.\n\nThis hotel does have a fairly expensive resort fee :-(  \n\nI am definitely a fan!
