Our choice for lodging
Pros:

I like that check-in is so easy. All of the staff we dealt with were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is right off the strip but close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see or do. The rooms are very clean, well maintained. The pool was very clean and we really enjoyed relaxing there. First nightmare, a bear came through the parking lot, which is a bonus and a very common occurrence.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like.
