The property sent me a text to give early check in options. I clicked the option I like but when I arrived they were quite curt and told me nothing avail until 4. I use to work front desk at a Vegas casino property, and I know there are early checkouts and they had an 11 am checkout surely they had a room avail by 2. One bathroom floor wasn’t very clean and all vending machines are broken

Robert and his staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. My partner is disabled, and Robert made sure he was completely comfortable throughout our stay. Any time we needed something, the staff was warm, attentive, and happy to help. We are so grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness we experienced here.”
