content: We chose to go to this hotel since it was dirt cheap and somewhat close to the heart of the strip. We booked at jail like manor rooms with the hope to get an upgrade. My pretty lady slipped the receptionist a $20 and we got upgraded to the new west tower room which was an awesome deal for 3 nights. The room was great, obviously very new with plasma tv nice comfy bed, clean and big bathroom. plus it had a nice view of the strip, I was expecting little kids screaming everywhere I looked but it actually wasn't too bad at all. We went in October so maybe its worse in the summer? The casino was ok, and sports book was tiny but not crowded. The buffet was like a old country buffet so average at best. The carnival games were very fun and we spent many hours wasting dollar after dollar trying to win a 50cent stuffed animal. It was a blast. Say what you will about this place, you get what you pay for. Great place to stay your first time in vegas as I learned. We we will likely go to a hotel closer to the heart of the strip next time, like ti mirage or new york new york. The deuce bus system is a great value but waiting 7-8 minutes between each stop , in front of every freakin hotel gets really annoying  and time consuming fast and better to just walk sometimes.
