text: I was looking for an affordable place to stay for St Patricks Day weekend and came across Terribles Hotel and Casino hoping it would not be a terrible place to stay Its location is within a mile proximity of the strip so not too shabby for someone like me who does not mind staying off the strip but not too far at the same timennAs I set foot in the door my friend and I had our lungs overwhelmed with the heavy fumes of cigarettes you would smell in the lobby I think they might need to look into fixing their ventilation system if they still want to keep families coming in Then again this is a locals casino rather than a visitors luxurious stay Compared to most casinos on the strip this one is rather small with limited selections of games for you to enjoy There are hardly people in the casinos which almost makes this place seem like a ghost town or relic of the past nnThe rooms however are a different story For someone who is not looking for anything fancy other than a comfortable place to sleep for the night might find this place to be a hidden gem The rooms compared to the casino downstairs are more modern and the beds were super comfortable Given the strong scent of cigarettes in the casino coming up to our room was literally a breath of fresh air given that our floor is nonsmoking nnThe buffetcafe was not bad for steak and prime rib was a great deal for what it was I am not expecting a USDA Prime cut there for that price but my taste buds were happy for what it was worth even though the prime rib came out way saltier the nd night than the cut on my first nights stay nnOverall I would not mind staying here again if other places were booked and overpriced The room and the cafe gets a satisfactory grade along with the price I payed for them Terribles true to its name is in dire need of remodeling and new furnace to keep this place from crumbling If the cigarette fumes were not so strong I would probably give this place another star Most likely I will be seeking other places to room on my next visit to Las Vegas
