Didn't realize but I've stay at this property a few years ago. Loved it then and even moreso now!
The Run Down
LOCATION
Not located on the strip. Just north of the "center" but minutes away. Closest Casino (walking distance) Golden Nugget(?) and Rio.
PARKING
Free and ample. You can choose to either park outside or in the parking garage
No valet at this time. Bell hops are still available.
CHECK-IN
Was a breeze! There was a long line when got there (made me question, "is it a holiday?"😂) But the line move fairly quickly.
ROOM
Was immaculate! I've been told I am OCD so believe me when I say it was CLEAN!
Great view facing the strip! SAD FACE- the windows needed to be cleaned (hard water stains?) on the outside to have a completely unobstructed view.
Plenty of closet and drawer space.
Deep tub (which is why I booked the place). 2 shower heads; 1 rain fall the other deattachable. option to shower with both on!
Cleaning supplies available should you need them.
All room amenities were working in great condition.
POOL
Wasn't able to enjoy the pool as I was in town celebrating my family gathering, but the pool area appeared well kept and clean! Sad I wasn't able to enjoy it. But next time I will!
VICINITY
Near many food\snack sources (perfect for late nights); Sonic, gas station, Friday's, subway etc.)
HICCUPS
I was informed at check-in that the Casino and restaurants and all services relating (including valet) were not available as they were recently sold (the Monday prior to my arrival). That news was sad in that moment but was great as it limited my desire to gamble 😅.
The water main broke, or had a crack, which led to a multi-floor water shut off.
James (host) was SUPER communicative and kept me abreast of the water status. He provided me with updates and his responses were timely. Super caring and concerned about my experience- Qualities that make a GREAT HOST and made the shut-off a shoulder shrug.
Next time I am in Vegas solo or coupled, I will definitely see if James' place is available prior to booking elsewhere!
Thank you James!
