text: So a lot of people have bagged on this place and I understand I really do Here is the tale of my experience at the Plaza Due to the fact that my paychecks are somewhat limited the Plaza seemed to be our best option for a birthday in VegasnnNow parking here is shit It is in a lot that you have to cross by the bus station to get to the hotel Classy There are some real winners in front of the bus station Bumming for change and hacking up phlegm on the sidewalk Not the hotels fault so I will let this slide but still FucknnCheck in went by pretty quick for us only took about minutes I am happy and ready to put my stuff down and go out for a night on the town which is the other perk of this place This location is awesome for the Freemont Street experience nnAfter a night of gentleman activities read getting drunk and losing my retirement money at the tables we decide to call it a night Here is where the place starts to go downhill Getting back into the room our air conditioner sounded like what I can only describe is the noise of a taking off Jesus The noise is easier to deal with then the heat so we decide fuck it leave it on and let the TV drown out the noise I had to take a piss before going to sleep and as I make an attempt to flush the toilet it does not work I contemplated pissing in the ice bucket or on the floor the stains on the carpet indicate that this action has already been completed by the previous occupants but getting older we decide to take the noble approach and call the front desk for assistance to the problem A very nice short man who spoke virtually no English came in and did a half ass fix on the toilet and got it running I retire to sleep on a mattress that I assume was older than I was The pillow was about as thick as a drink coaster Glad I was drunknnWaking up the next morning I try to use the bathroom Of course the fucking toilet breaks Again I tried to fix it myself and no luck I piss in a gatorade bottlennI feel a shower will help pep me up and get ready for a new days experience in Vegas Walking into the shower I realize an immediate problem The shower head is about as high as my chest And I am an average guy No big deal if that was the only problem but I would not lead into it like this if that was it This was the first of a trilogy of a shitty shower experience The water temperature fluctuates A lot There I am cleaning off the previous night of debauchery and the water gets hot Really hot I did not even get a chance to turn the temperature down I had to retreat to the back of the shower and do a quick recon on my chest to check the rd degree burns I now have I thought I was going to have to get a damn skin graft after that As Murphys law would have it the water then gets cold I can now shape diamonds with my nipples Deciding to grin and bear it I try to finish cleaning off to end this shower of disappointment I then realize what I was not able to before after my brush with the boiling water experience The fucking drain is clogged I do realize a small victory that I am glad I pissed in the gatorade bottle instead of the shower when I got in I take a moment to smile and commend myself because at this point I need the laugh nnNow the casino here I had an awesome time Played the table minimum at the black jack tables for a few hours The drinks did not come as often as I would have liked for how much I was losing and tipping but they were strong and in my opinion was actually a name brand whiskey not that well shit a lot of other places try to push off I am happy Plus the dealers are also hot and dressed like whores Congratulations you earn an extra star for thatnnThe McDonalds here is possibly one of the worst I have ever been to and McDonalds are perpetually shitty anyway The staff really helped out with this by acting like the most miserable group of people in the free world On par with the people I passed by at the bus station on the way in The only thing that was possibly older than the mattress I slept on was the foods that was served here I throw away a handful of straws to feel better about the situationnnOn the final morning in the room I am collecting my valuables from the room and discover a womans thong in the corner of the closet Awesome wonder what the STD content of those werennFor the money this place is not bad and I will stay here again There is some history to this place Apparently this was the hotel that was used in one of the Back to the Future movies I guess it was Biffs but never got confirmation on that Also I heard the ghost of Houdini haunts this place Although I did not see his ghost haunting this place the stains throughout the place on the carpet walls and ceilings were enough to give me a good scare
