Pros:

The stay was ok, i was not told until we checked in that there was no elevator up to our rooms. Very unhappy about that. The trim on the bathroom door must not have been cleaned in months it was filthy. Noisy.

Pros:

Noise from across the street from nightclub till 4am. Siegel 1941. Had a sign " closed for maintenance. Come back tomorrow. " we ate some place else we come back 1 hour later . It was open . We could have stayed. Should be a full door in our shower . Instead half door. Water around past the toilet . Waste of towels and water. Otherwise great staff and hotel . But we wont stay here again.

Pros:

Absolutely LOVED this hotel. Only thing is if you have a hard time with smoke, the casino is very smokey but the rooms are not. When I come back to Vegas the only hotel I'll be staying at is El Cortez.

I wanna be pretentious hotel.
Pros:

Get rid of your pretentious stupid dress code for your coffee shop. Everybody continues to complain about how much Vegas is struggling, but your pretentious stress code for a mediocre coffee shop in a very smoky casino is just ridiculous. Because wonder why people are coming, this is definitely one of the reasons.

Disappointing Stay
Pros:

Rooms were in the Pavilion which were run down. Old system for air conditioning and room was hot. The toilet was not in working condition and after two attempts to get it fixed, I was finally moved to a different room.

Pros:

It was excellent. My only complaint is the cleaning pen came at 8 am in a Saturday morning. Ugh and they threw our shoes away that were in a Target Bag that was set on the floor.
Bell Hop and check in staff was amazing.
I would definitely stay again
