This is a good go to for a low budget stay in Vegas. It's dated and musty but the staff is always friendly. Table stakes were $10 minimums which was disappointing as last year they were $5. Could use some more happy hour pricing

The room was adequate and clean. You can tell it was the oldest part of the hotel, and that it has been upgraded. The parking was free and easy to get in and out.
