Would do it again!!!! Wonder if they have an Adult living floor???
Everything was wonderful while we stayed. Didn't expect so many families with children but other than the kids roaming up and down the hallways in the evening our experience was great!!! The room was clean and well supplied and if we didn't want to we were connected to every thing we could want to do!!! The staff was friendly and accommodating, the only thing missing was a map to get us around the multiple hotels the CC was attached to. It was difficult to find the workout facilities, they were at the Regency not directly in our building.

fair room
The hotel was family orientated but full of casino machine's, I understand it is Nevada and that is the theme but you don't have to take up half the hotel with slot machines and junk. I could't even purchase a water from the bar at the casino, because I didn't have my ID on me. It was ridiculous, I probably won't stay there again, but I guess I would recommend it to someone with a gambling addiction and wants their family with them whilst they blow their money.

Blah
Rather a disappointment. Was a special weekend but the room was not. Less than we had expected. Stayed there years ago and it was much better - a much more fun atmosphere.

Room was clean and cozy, hallways smell like cherry chapstick. Best room rate in town when on a budget and your downtown connected to the other main casinos

Great hotel!
I went to visit UNR, and my two friends and I decided to stay here. What you pay is nothing compared to what they could charge. The hotel is situated in a good location, there are many eateries within, as well as all around. And they had minor circus acts in the evening, which weren't long, but were entertaining. And don't forget your money, because you'll want to visit the casinos, or the arcades!

The Smokin' Gecko is superb! The food is so delicious! It's technically not part of the hotel, but you don't have to walk that far to get to it. It's right in between this hotel and the one right next to it. (BTW, the sweet potato fries are to die for!)

Cheap! Clean-ish
Overall definitely worth the money. Everything you'd expect from an aging casino...not really great, but not really bad either. Convenient location and the place really picks up on the weekends.

Good for the price!
Could not beat $40.00 a night. The beds were too soft and room was not super clean and taken care off. Sure beats Motel 6 though... The amenities and cleanliness were just average. But great location and parking. Kids had super fun time in arcade. The restaurnats were good with friendly service. I would go back.

Routine visit to family with no guest room
Nice clean room, great view, easy parking access. Good place to go if you have children.Never could access "resort amenities" ( Internet, free local calls etc.) Batteries in remote control were dead asked for new ones and never received any. Alarm clock did not work.
