This place is a great deal for an inexpensive stay away from the Strip. The drive is a little far to the Strip, but it's not crazy like an hour long. Well, it is if you're slow at driving. Or not a local. And slow :O \n\nThe pool is relatively clean and empty most of the time. It's calm and quiet and a good place for relaxation.\n\nFor food: It's got a few key sit down restaurants that I feel are really expensive and not a ton of people eat there. I do, however, love stopping by at TGI Fridays. There is a small fast food center that is relatively empty these days, so yay, no lines! \n\nThe Regal Theatres here is one of my favorite theaters because it's close to where I live and it's not too busy. Also, the Aliante is a relatively fun place to play...bingo! For that 21+ crowd :) \n\nAliante is a great relaxing environment to get away from the rest of the world.
