I totally get it that drinks are expensive at Vegas clubs. I totally, totally get it. But, I'm sorry, charging $43.00 for two drinks (before tip) is unconscionable. $22.00 for a Knob Creek on the rocks, really? $21.00 for a vodka and Red Bull, really? What else do you need to know about this place?

As far as casino hotels in Vegas go, this is one of them. The floor layout is marginally easier to navigate than the MGM Grand diagonally opposed, or NY NY directly opposite; it has a few watering holes that are low-key and friendly enough, even going so far as to only charge me $5 for a near-pint of ale. However, it's not the most updated joint, and I'm fairly sure they market to the low-end consumer. Rooms are decorated in a kind of weird para-medieval theme, which makes sense since I'm staying at Medieval Time writ large. The A/C unit is loud, and about thirty years old. Maybe 35. It also blows the curtains around, so sleeping is a lot like attempting it near a helicopter. I managed to get the window open, so I'm just choosing background street noise over the Huey Cobra ambiance. The bathroom is also a 1977 special. Some updates, like large tile, are amusing paired with showerheads from the 60s. Individually-wrapped plastic cups are an ironic "Death by plastic" thematic touch. Also, house staff will place your soap in one of the cups, because soap dishes did not exist in 13th century England. The cable modem is almost daring me to hack it. I leave it alone, because for whatever reason, wired Internet here is fantastic. No WiFi, but I absolutely do not care. Great speeds, almost makes up for the single bar of 2G connectivity I get in Tower 1 (VZW). TV is a flat-screen, which is nice, and zero movie channels, which is offset by the ridiculous download speeds. I strongly suggest packing an HDMI or VGA cable with your laptop if you stay here. The elevators are frequently littered by the aforementioned low-end target demographic. Staff simply cannot keep up with the myriad ways in which the lowlifes decorate the floors with french fries. The hallways are also under attack from these reprobates. Good times. I haven't gone to the pool yet, and think I will just skip it. It's a cheap place to stay with good walking connections to other casinos, and while I'm probably not going to return here if I can manage it, it wouldn't be the worst place I've ever stayed, either. -C

Been here several times, kids love the pizza, but the service is HORRIBLE. On our last visit we waited 20 mins to be greeted...with 2 small kids and weren't given any kid menus or crayons. Gave server drink and food order all at once thinking it would speed things up...NOT. From when we walked in the door it was 45 mins before our 8" kid pizza and 2 side salads with grilled chicken came?!??? Ridiculous, I've been a server for many years, been swamped, but to not apologize or send a manager or discount is a horrible way to get repeat business and customer recommendations as a newer restaurant. Would rather get dominos in half the time and price.

This place was horrible! We got the free steak dinner and the service was the worse! Our waitress talked to everyone. It took an hour to get our dinner, and there was barley anyone in the restaurant. Then it took another hour to get our check. The food was boring. The restaurant looked out dated and dirty. The time we wasted there was not worth a free steak dinner. I didn't want a potato with the dinner, I asked for french fries and the waitress told me no. The texas toast was burnt, hard and stale. Don't go back for the free dinner unless you lost allot of money gambling.
