We arrived expecting the other "Fremont Experience" - dingy hotel room, very few amenities, sketchy casino and slow nightlife. We just wanted a place to crash before heading down to the strip for the week. Since this was only my second time in Vegas and first time Downtown, I wasn't sure what to expect. It seems like everyone has something to say about downtown and many people said not to expect much... And when we arrived our room turned out to be two full beds. I haven't slept in a full bed since high school! For a moment, we were disappointed, but the room upgrades were affordable and WORTH the extra $. For the inconvenience, we were given a much later checkout time and some buffet coupons (that we didn't use, but we appreciated the gesture). Our upgraded Rush Tower room ended up being the NICEST place we stayed all week. First off, the renovations in the main hotel/casino areas are really great. Definitely check out the Chart House bar for a soothing view a gigantic aquarium and a cool lounge area. Beautiful glass installations throughout the hotel/casino and the pool is really great. Have to love the slide that runs through the "shark tank." Unlike many other places, the pool is open late. Such a great bonus! We didn't really check out the "Gold Diggers" club, but the chill pool patio is definitely the place to lounge, relax, and sip on a drink. Our deluxe room didn't have a great view, but had a comfy lounge area, gigantic bed, flat screen tv, office/desk area and separate toilet and bath area. We loved being able to charge/play our iPods on the in-room docking station, and the bathtub shower was perfect! Very clean and very upscale. Not at all what I expected, but we will definitely be back!

I have officially been here three times now and every time has been yummy!! Chicken and Waffles; Breakfast Casserole; and the Banana nut french toast.. these are the things I have tried here. I have yet to venture outside of the breakfast/brunch bubble but you can better believe I will try dinner sometime soon. The waitstaff is decent and the ambience/decor is also perfectly fine... my mom and I have been here twice and we both find all the curved glasses and silverware strange but they aren't bad. I come here because the food is so good!! I've only had one thing here I didn't like and that was a side item. It was the hashbrowns, however my mom likes them so it's probably just me. Their grits are also really good in my opinion and I'm picky about those. The chicken is well cooked (not overdone), the breakfast casserole was flavorful, and the banana nut french toast was absolutely sinful!! Oh I've also had a blueberry muffin here and that tasted store bought (so two things I wasn't impressed with). Everything else fully makes up for two random items though, as they are just marvelous!! Next time I'm going to hope for a fabulous quiche of the day!! I love that this place is so close to my house, and I will definitely be back soon!!

Uptight and unwelcoming....they take themselves way too seriously. We should have taken a hint when we saw that the place was DEAD on a Saturday night. The food is boring and run of the mill, for the price of a top notch dish. The service was appalling. When you walk in, you are greeted by a self righteous middle aged server who will be appalled that you don't order wine, he will be equally appalled that you don't eat meat. You will open the menu and see rabbit leg dishes and duck dishes for hilarious prices. We wanted to get up and leave after reading the menu but we were so hungry that we just decided to eat quickly and leave. The only vegetarian dish was the gnocci with tomato sauce - which is what I was forced to order because there was no other option. My partner got the same thing. When our food arrived we were almost ready to pass out from hunger, and when you're hungry everything tastes good right? Wrong. The dish tasted like someone opened a can of tomato paste, added some milk, and called it a day. Our bill came to $65 for 2 gnocci dishes (no drinks, nothing). It would have been worth the price if the food was good. It was far from. I would like to give this place a half star.

Meats were ok, sides were average or all around miss, small to medium portions. Came all the way out to use a restaurant.com cert that they didnt accept.
