The Palace Station is essentially two hotels in one, and whether you like it or hate it largely depends on which of the two you pick. This place has a Courtyard section, which is more like a motel, and the Tower section, which is decent. I stayed at this hotel for three nights, the first in the Courtyard and the last two in a Tower room.

The Courtyard area is disgusting. In order to get to this part of the hotel, you have to walk out of the casino and into a separate building. I felt like I was being punished for opting to be frugal and getting the cheaper room. They claim that the entire Courtyard section is smoke-free, but don't kid yourself. You'll be smelling cigarette smoke for the entire time you're there. When I walked into the room, it felt like I was walking into an ashtray. All the furniture and linens smell like cigarette smoke. The room itself is very small. The beds take up most of the space, and there isn't much room to walk around. I didn't sleep very well in my one night in this room because the smell of cigarettes in the linens was nauseating. Also, the walls are thin and don't block the sound of people talking in the hallway, or of the people in the adjacent rooms.

The next morning, I went back to the check-in area and complained about the room. They told me that they'd move me to a Tower room, but I'd have to pay $25 extra per night. I asked to speak with the manager, who told me it's not their fault that people choose to smoke in an area that's designated as smoke free. In her words, it's not the management's fault if the guests are ""being rude"" by smoking. After an argument that lasted almost 10 minutes, during which I threatened to leave and then file a dispute with my credit card company to get my money back for the room, the manager finally gave in and switched me to a Tower room at no additional cost.

The Tower room was very decent. There was no cigarette odor, the linens on the beds were very clean, and so was the bathroom. The room was considerably larger than the one in the Courtyard, and had far more room to walk around. This was a very decent, prototypical hotel room. The WiFi in the room was also very good.

The casino itself is fairly standard. They have slot machines and all the basic table games. There are a number of nice places to eat. It's certainly not a flashy casino, and it doesn't come close to rivaling those in hotels on The Strip, but it's pretty standard compared to other casinos that are off the strip. This hotel advertises very heavily to locals, because locals might enjoy being in a casino that doesn't feel touristy. To that end, this place will serve them well.

I admit, I chose to stay at this hotel because of its connection to OJ Simpson. This is the place where OJ came to get his property back from people who had stolen it from him, and now he's serving a lengthy prison term for what went down. All of that happened in room 1203 in the Courtyard. I definitely walked by that room just to check it out.

If you're coming to Vegas on a once in a lifetime vacation, don't stay here. Pay the extra money and stay at a hotel on Las Vegas Blvd. If you do end up staying here, definitely opt for the Tower rooms. The Courtyard rooms aren't worth the discounted price. Personally, I don't think I'll be coming back here again. I didn't like it.
