I'd read enough reviews online before we went to know not to expect much of anything. Old, not updated hotel with kids running around everywhere... check. Honestly, there weren't as many kids as I'd thought there would be, but I guess compared to the other hotels we visited there were quite a few. We stayed there because it was the cheapest option "on" the strip, and we'd rather use our money for other things... like booze. I made the reservation through some website, not the hotels directly, for tower rooms. I was told I'd most likely be able to upgrade to the West Tower (newly renovated) when I checked in; but they were sold out. We were stuck in the Skyrise Tower. Aside from the fact that our room smelled like a Playschool dollhouse, it was fine. No fridge or microwave though - luckily we knew this and brought a cooler to keep the drinks cold (priorities). But like I said, I knew not to expect much. The buffet was disgusting, like worse than my college cafeteria. However, for breakfast, it was awesome because as far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with a plate full of greasy bacon and tater tots after a night of drinking. The staff is retarded. I think they all are retired carnies, who know nothing. Since we weren't leaving til 11pm on a red-eye, we tried for late check out/another night... again, sold out. All rooms were sold out, except for 2 rooms they had in the back manor "motel." Now I don't know what dead people smell like, but if I had to guess, they smell like the Circus Circus Motel. Luckily we didn't sleep there - just needed a place to store our luggage for the day and shower before the flight. But still for some reason in my heart I love this place. It's got some cheap, old school Vegas charm in a really weird, I-need-to-wash-my-hands kind of way.
