3 Star Las Vegas Holidays

Adriana Camargo

The STRAT Hotel has, without a doubt, the best view in Las Vegas once you go up to the top! From the top of the tower, you get a breathtaking 360° view of the city. There are also a few attractions up there that make the experience even more exciting. The Top of the World restaurant is definitely worth visiting, it’s a rotating restaurant with great food and a beautiful, ever-changing view. The hotel room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. And the location is super convenient, just a few minutes from the Strip. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Vegas!

I am a local, and we went to the Stratosphere for a comedy show at LA Comedy and dinner at Chi. We enjoyed the whole experience. Chi had a limited Asian menu, but the food was very tasty. The price range was in the $20's which is a decent price now a days. However, alcoholic drinks are almost the same price as the dinner, $12 beer up to &18 per coctail. We got the comedy show tickets through Group On, and the comedians were actually funny. We did gamble a bit while we were there and had a little luck. I would suggest getting a players card for some decent perks. We got some free play money, money towards our dinner, and 2 free drinks at the bar. The casino is circular, so there wasn't a huge walking distance. The parking is free for locals. Chi restaurant was close to the parking garage, but the LA comedy theater was at the furthest point. My only complaint is they do not have enough waitresses on the casino floor, so we got our drinks at the bar. Due to our positive experience, I would go back again.

I recently revisited the Stratosphere yesterday for the first time since 2017, and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes! I didn't stay in a room, so this review is solely based on my experience on the casino floor. It's clear they've done a significant remodel; the casino itself is very nice, quite spread out, and feels much more modern than I remembered. The atmosphere was lively, and I found the layout to be comfortable and easy to navigate. A special shoutout to the lady at the rewards desk – she was incredibly pleasant and helpful. The one downside, which isn't the property's fault, is still the location. Being so far north on the Strip, it feels a bit isolated. Personally, I'm unlikely to stay here due to the distance from the main action and the concerns about walking around the area at night. However, if you're looking for a spacious and nicely renovated casino floor with a good atmosphere, the Stratosphere is worth checking out. Just be mindful of the location when planning your trip.

Super nice experience to this hotel! Nice room and good location, at the end of the strip, more quiet with the amazing sign of ‘the city of Las Vegas thanks you’. The casino is not the best, but good hotel for a chill stay. Nice view from my room! Is not a movie , is just Las Vegas 💣💥🧨🎲💃🏼💵

I had a pleasant experience. The rooms were a little run down but for the price what do you expect. There was no ash tray for a smoking room and no shampoo or conditioner. However those are minor things. Other than that all was great. Convienant area, close to everything in Las Vegas. A diversity of games to choose from. Never was bored. From Sky Jump, humongous pool, to rides and elegant dining. It was definitely worth the price.

To be fair I booked this through Priceline and the reviews on there initially made me think this would be a good option. I should have looked at it in much more detail but they also don’t give you a lot on the website either. Upon arrival the look is not as pleasant as it may seem on the photos. Lots of things to look at in there but the smell of cigarettes and weed is incredibly overwhelming. They have some nice fast food options inside but the menus of course are limited and the buffet is not nearly as good as the fast food unfortunately. No servicing for the rooms for beds made daily or even trash thrown out. You have to pay extra for a fridge as well. The bathrooms were dirty upon arrival, some spots on the floor and hair on the wall of the shower which I didn’t notice until I was already in the shower, which tells me they did not do a thorough job of cleaning. The tub was also clearly clogged as water kept backing up from our showers. We also got almost no sleep as the AC unit started making weird noises in the middle of the night and would not stop no matter what we did. Also a lot of people stopping you for “vouchers” but of course there’s a catch. I came here on a trip with my sister and we both have kids. Both of us agreed we wouldn’t even bring our kids here.

First the lobby/bell staff was great. We were exhausted and we were assisted at checkin as well as escorted to our room with our bags. Getting to our room was quite a trek. Rooms are outdated and need some serious attention. Had a hole in wall, curtains wouldn’t close well enough to block out the blinking of Sphere all night or sun in morning. We were told it was no smoking but hallways reeked of smoke, tobacco & cannabis. Drains in bath had sewage smell. Considering the “Resort Fee” was higher than the room rate I felt that a little more care should be taken of our room. We called desk for clean towels, finally had to catch housekeeping and they took 4 towels but only left 2. We were there for 4 days and never had any services to our room. Trash and towels should have been a bare minimum daily. Only one pool was open even though the place was packed. Kids over ran the hot tub all 4 days and on the last day the hot tub was cold. Everything was clean, there weren’t children running amok and everyone was friendly, guest & staff. I would likely stay here again despite these issues, but only if I were traveling with children. It’s definitely a family oriented place.

This was my second time staying here , we stayed in a renovated room this time other than the room could of been cleaned a little better like floors and windows everything else was fine ( we did have a stay over clean done while we were gone and the housekeeper did an amazing job ). I personally like circus circus and will definitely return. I loved seeing all the updates since the last time we were here. Is circus circus a 5 star hotel no but it has everything you need and gives you extra spending money on your trip. To add we had some issues with our room not being ready and the staff was excellent and gave us food vouchers and offered another room .

Cristina Dabu

We checked in last week for 5 days and from the time we walked in was already horrible. Staff couldn't even say good evening or greet you with a smile & mind you, there were 4 of them too. Made us feel like we are a nuisance as customers. Remember, customers are the reasons that you have jobs and cannot give us good customer service at all?! The kiosk to check in was very confusing every single step & again, when we asked one of the staff, she looked unhappy. When we finally was able to, then it did say our room was still not ready although we are already checking in hours after 3pm & the staff claimed she had to "upgrade" our room as to what? We don't know because the one we saw online looked better than what we actually got. We stayed 5 days & out of those, we did not leave the do not disturb card at the door so housekeeping can clean our room but they never did. We addressed that to the staff when we checked out & he said we were supposed to call?! So what was the point of the door hang then?! They're also doing some construction or remodeling but it's unsafe how they just left like garbage dumpster right by the elevator where people are bumping in. At one point, some customer actually almost got hurt as there was something sticking out of it & hit him around his waist. So many bad things to say about this place. It's cheap but isn't really that cheap for the kind of place it is - unhappy & miserable staff members! Management might as well have them dressed as clowns, that way they would have a smile on them!

Gage The goat

The rooms are nice and are really cool but there a little dated, the beds are big and are really comfortable, their is free room service. My room had an awesome view of the sphere. They had free circus shows that were really fun to watch. But the restaurants, stores, and the adventure park is a little pricey. And the elevators smell like weed. Everyone is nice and helpful. And there is a lot to do with kids.

Fernanda I. Zavala

I was pleasantly surprised by Excalibur! I had heard mixed reviews, but my experience was really positive. The staff were super friendly, and my room was super clean. The pool area was great. The main pool was a little cold, but the jacuzzi made up for it. Parking was easy and very accessible, which is a big win in Vegas. The location is also perfect right on the Strip, so you can walk to other major hotels and attractions. The medieval theme gives it a fun, unique vibe, and for the price, I’d say it’s a great value. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Nikki Foster

Let me start by saying I really wish my experience was better as I have friends who often stay here when they are in town. I didn't really get to enjoy the bed or room but from the breif time I laid across the bed, it was very comfortable. Unfortunately what I thought was going to be a nice little staycation ended up just being a night of gambling and ultimately losing a lot of money. No complaints on the gambling though, the machines pay out ok to me (I've definitely seen worse) the tables also are priced good too. Now here is the reason for my low rating. Our room was beside the elevator! The elevator raged up and down and through the walls every second! It was horrible! We didn't even sleep in our room at all! We just showered and gambled. I expected better but hopefully this is not the standard. I'm probably going to go gamble there tonight anyway lol. I just don't like that I wasted a couple of hundred dollars on a room that I couldn't enjoy...I even upgraded so I could ensure a relaxing stay.

Clark

Very surprised and happy with my stay here. The rooms were clean and nice but nothing special, no cable so don't plan to watch TV here. They had a DJ at night on the weekend playing music instead of the generic casino soundtrack. Brought a fun party atmosphere with a lot of people. Reasonable table game prices, nice center bar with video poker. Will return to MGM resorts.

Dede Croy

I love this hotel for the comps. Thank you for comping my rooms almost every time for years! Please comp more bigger brand name hotels with the MGM plan so we can have fun at other places too. I see the rooms have been renovated, thank you for that, they are pretty basic now. I would love complimentary robes instead of towels that are too small. I also would love hair conditioner instead of a combo shampoo conditioner it's too drying. I didn't see bar soap, which is awesome; less waste! I would appreciate a better location on plugs to type on my computer with better ease. There were no microwaves or fridges or any free water. All things that are helpful when traveling. But, I still really enjoy staying here. Online check in is awesome or app check in but after a certain time you can't check in online any more if you fly in at midnight, if I didn't walk up to the front desk to ask I would have been waiting around until 2 am. I also appreciated the front desk person helping me with benefits as I was checking in the room I tried to reserve was no longer available so she helped me with another feature I had chosen.

Twyla Becker

Very comfortable rooms, clean, comfortable beds. My only complaint was there was no place to stand or sit to wait for your friends from other rooms. If you weren't gambling, you couldn't sit, there was no lobby furniture. The fitness Center was amazing! The pool area was very fun although the children's section was closed which was unfortunate for the families that were there. I would definitely recommend, it seems to be in a good location for everything that's going on as well.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding my recent experience at Horseshoe Las Vegas. From the moment I arrived, I was met with unprofessional and dismissive behavior from the hotel staff, particularly at the front desk. As a person of color, I was disheartened to observe that the staff treated me with clear disrespect, showing little to no courtesy when addressing my concerns. Their tone was unnecessarily rude, and they appeared unwilling to provide basic assistance or answer questions politely. I had booked and paid in advance for a room with one king-size bed. However, upon check-in, I was given a room with two single beds. When I politely asked about the discrepancy, the front desk staff responded curtly and unapologetically stated that no king-bed rooms were available, despite my confirmed reservation. There was no effort made to resolve the issue or accommodate my original booking. Instead, I was met with an unhelpful and dismissive attitude. I am extremely disappointed by this level of customer service and the lack of professionalism displayed. Such treatment is unacceptable and has left me feeling disrespected and hurt. I expected better from an establishment of this stature, and I hope that steps are taken to ensure that no other guest—regardless of background—has to endure a similar experience.

My recent Vegas trip included a stop at Horseshoe Las Vegas, and it was certainly an interesting experience. I didn't stay at the hotel, but I did try my luck on a slot machine, and surprisingly, it was the most profitable casino on the Strip for me during this visit! That's definitely a major plus. However, I'm left with some serious reservations about ever staying at Horseshoe. The registration desk (located on the casino floor) had an absolutely massive line, and it wasn't a happy crowd. There were a lot of frustrated-looking people waiting, which left a very negative first impression. On the other hand, the location is undeniably good, and the indoor walkway connecting it to Paris Las Vegas is a fantastic perk. I've also heard that Horseshoe has made a lot of updates since taking over from Bally's, which is encouraging. So, I'm torn. The winning slot experience and the convenient location are definitely appealing. But that incredibly long and unpleasant registration line? It's hard to shake that off. I'd probably visit again to play slots, but I'm hesitant to commit to a hotel stay until I hear that they've addressed the check-in issues. It's a shame, because it has the potential to be a really great property.

Karl Petty

For the money, it's a good place. Just a block back from the strip, and shares self parking with Paris hotel. Walking distance to most everything big on the 'strip' Our non-smoking floor was great. No fumes, or odors. The windows were large and could have been great except for the dust caked to the outside. I'm sure they get washed regularly, but we missed the beginning of the cycle.

Bogdan Ciotinga

Awful experience and customer service. Booked room with 2 queen beds for 3 adults over 6 months in advance. About a month before arrival I checked the reservation and realized they changed the price by about $70 per night more. I called and after a few calls back and forth they “graciously” agreed to honor the original rate I booked. I get to the hotel and I am being told they do not have 2 beds and that I will get a king. Told them that I was not ok, the agent clicks away for 5 min and tells me she found 2 beds and to go ahead and continue checking in at the automated machines. I noticed that the reservation reverted back to the higher price again. I was told to wait in another long line and when I finally got to speak to a new agent the real “fun” started. I calmly told Ari, that I have an original confirmation email and one from their reservation department confirming a lower price than what was in the system. Ari refused to look and flat out told me he did not care because his computer showed something else, printed a piece a paper and slammed it in front of me. I asked to speak with his manager and after informing me “he” will speak to his manager, 5 min later he comes back to tell me the rate is honored. I replied: “See, that was not that hard”, to which he proceeded to lecture me that I “should be thankful and happy that he is looking for a clean room to give me rather than a dirty one”. Not even a joke., that’s what he said as if he was doing me this great favor. After clicking away a while longer he changed his mind and informed me he actually did not have any clean rooms to give me. I had to ask for a manager again and she finished the check in process in 5 min. All in all, it took 1.5 hours to check in, most horrible customer service and got an inferior room (2 full or double standard room rather than 2 queen high roller room that I reserved). Never going back to this hotel ever again. Fast forward a couple of weeks. I got my credit card bill to find out that I was overcharged by over $170. After calling customer service I found out that I was charged for 3 nights when I only stayed 2. they had to pull my key log to confirm that I indeed only stayed for 2 nights. At least the billing customer service agent was not as incompetent as everyone else I encountered at the hotel and was able to resole the issue in a few days. One thing is certain: I will NEVER stay at this hotel and possibly any other Caesar property again in the future. I travel a lot, both for business and personal reasons, and I have never been treated as bad as I have been treated at this hotel or have I experienced so much incompetence.

Denise Barwick

Pros Excellent service from bell desk despite being a one man show at the time. Server where I was playing came by 3 times while I was playing in a short time. Plus 2 mini fridge and plenty of space. Cons I had a balcony but couldn't use it because of door lock restrictions. Also no drinks or snacks in the room.

Kuba Podobinski

My and my wife were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the room. It was spacious, actually size of 1 bed apartment. Clean and tidy. Hotel about 30 minutes walk from The Strip, nice neighbourhood, to convenient shops and McDonalds nearby. I could complaint about lack of kettle in the room, but hotel restaurant is open 24/7, so can get coffee any time.

Owen Goldin

The price is right! You pay the advertised rate, no hidden resort fees. The people are friendly. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. But 1) I got bedbug bites! 2) The rooms looking out on the pool have classic rock blaring all afternoon into the evening. Very annoying. 3) The walls are thin -- you can hear the TV next door etc 4) Rugs need replacing.

J Simmons

As advertised here on Google as a 3-star hotel is ambitious as best. As an exterior hotel there was a gap underneath the door directly to the outside! Should've expected such. Warm in room fridge, a TV the size of a computer monitor, mismatched room decor, and a comfort level overall which certainly reflects "you get what you pay for." My advice, "pay more."

NUBIAN ASMR

Spent one night at the hotel just because the price was right ✅️ Let's just say you get what you pay for. I'm a hotel snob. So, staying at this place was last minute. In a nutshell, it's a budget hotel. The place is outdated...very old. You can tell there haven't been any renovations done in years. Firstly, the area is sketchy and seems like a lot of homeless people around. Once you walk into the check-in lobby it reeks of cigarettes. There are slot machines and bar in the lobby so people are smoking like crazy. The carpet doesn't help because it absorbs the cigarette smell. The staff was professional, friendly, and helpful. The room was outdated. Wasn't cleaned properly. The room needs deep cleaning from the carpets to sofas. The smell of the room was not the greatest. The owners need to do an upgrade to help boost the place. The is plenty of parking. There is McDonald's and 7-11 walking distance from the hotel. Overall it was just ok!!!

Ashwin Somasundara

You get what you pay for. The room size was good, but that's about it. The hotel is old, elevators didn't work. The sofa in the room was dirty, AC was ancient. The toilet we had for some reason didn't stop flushing water down!! But it's cheap $$

Pamela Szell

We had such a great experience at the Flamingo Hotel! From check-in to check-out, every part of our stay was smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful—we felt genuinely welcomed the moment we arrived. We received a lovely room upgrade, which made our trip even more special. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. A special shoutout to the housekeeping team—we felt totally at ease knowing our belongings were safe. It’s rare to find a hotel where you feel that level of trust. The bellhops were also fantastic—so kind, quick to assist, and always had a smile. We’ll definitely be staying here again. Thank you, Flamingo, for the warm hospitality and making our visit so memorable!

Stayed 3 different nights in October when I couldn’t make it back home due to a hurricane . Rooms were spacious and clean. Bed & pillows were comfortable . Great views of sphere or city depending on side you stay on. The second stay/room the water was only scorching hot. We had to get someone to come fix it. 3rd room bathroom could be update but overall had good stays. They have kiosks to check in and out which was nice because the line to check in with a person was long .

Toni Payne

What I like about flamingo is that it is centrally located affordable and the rooms are decent. If you care about having a strip view room, make sure you call or ask ahead. It can be a bit tricky. Being a nature lover I also like the flamingo because of its nature theme, they do have flamingos and a little garden with Koi in the hotel. That is pretty interesting. They also have other wildlife like dogs and little birds that show up. Now the cool thing about the flamingo is that it is centrally located meaning it’s right across from Ceaser’s not too far of a walk from Bellagio and just a decent walk from everywhere and when you come out through the back entrance, it brings you onto that little link Walkway where there are a lot of restaurants popular restaurants and good places to eat mingle and sit down so if you want a hotel that is centrally located and has access to a walkway with lots of food I think flamingo will do it for you. The rooms at the flamingo are a good size. They’re not small. I usually get the double which is the double queen and that is a really good size room at least for me and that could fit four people comfortably. The bathroom is also decent and I think we got the upgraded rooms. I’m not sure what the non-upgraded rooms look like but make sure that you get the upgraded rooms and I believe that was in the garden tower so they have upgraded rooms in different towers. just make sure you ask for the upgraded rooms or if you’re booking online make sure your room is the upgraded one. You do not want to be disappointed.

B.J. Gober

Very nice place to stay on the strip. The casinos not has smoky others we had been to. The room was spacious and very clean. We attended the X Burlisque show at The Flamingo. I recommend this show. The only problem was auto check out. We paid for parking at check out. They don't tell you to keep a room key to exit parking. You also don't try using kiosk in the garage area to exit. I would recommend that Flamingo stay again.

Junior Xeem Vwj

Stayes here for a few nights. I highly recommend the upgraded rooms. Another friend stayed at the same hotel and did not upgrade. You could tell the regular room has not been updated. It has a retro 80s kind of feel to it. So if you're into that, it may be okay. Check in was pretty fast with kiosks. And same with check out. They always cleaned the room everyday. Staff were pretty nice. Main reason why this venue was chosen was because it's location. It's right on the Vegas strip. Lots of food options and walking distance to the other places like Caesars Palace, Venetian, etc. It's also connected to the monorail.

Brad

We enjoyed our time staying at the LINQ. It was very convenient and centrally located to everything. The rooms are clean, the property is clean and everything was in working order. The check-in desk is really small and was very busy so we ended up using the kiosk. The casino itself is pretty small. For gamblers the only available 3:2 blackjack table here was a SINGLE $50 minimum double deck table. Your other blackjack options are pretty limited to 6:5 with larger decks. Slot machine selection was actually pretty good. Craps tables were lively and staff were charismatic. I'd definitely recommend staying here. I can't speak for the pool, or the food, because most of what we ate was at the promenade.

Arely

This casino is a fantastic and family-friendly hotel that sits right across Caesars Palace and right next to the Flamingo. I came during the weekday and it was pretty affordable the resort fee is about $50 plus the $20 a night I paid. The rooms themselves were really clean and smelled like cleaning supplies which I loved. The pool was only open up until 6:00 p.m. so that was kind of a bummer but there are other plenty of eateries and activities to do around such as their in-house shows. They have bell service which I loved! So don't forget to tip for the service. I would highly recommend this if you want something that's laid back, central and all around entertaining! You can also do kiosk check-in and check out which I appreciate but they do need to check on the wireless tab pay for the garage. I had a hard time leaving.

Casey H

Had a great time staying here! We were offered an upgrade to a room with a view of the pool and took it and I am SO glad we did. We were able to see the high roller from our room. The beds were very comfy and it was very clean, too. It was in district 2 and the elevators were fast. We never had an issue with parking or our key cards. I would recommend doing the express check in/checkout option you can do from your phone - it was way faster and super easy.

Suzanne G

Room was okay, but clean. Bit dark, would have been nice to have a brighter themed room. No microwave was an inconvenience too especially being there with my 11 year old. I was told on the phone the room would come with one. I prefer to speak to the front desk when checking in so the kiosk idea is OK but just not my preference. I really didn't like how there were no lounge seating available off the gaming floor. Somewhere to sit and relax with my kid would have been awesome. But instead we needed to sit at Starbucks after late check out at 4pm. The nook was ridiculously priced for what you get. They should consider lowering those prices a bit. Definitely not worth the $. Staff were friendly and location was wonderful. Very close to everything. Would have loved to have a restaurant dedicated to a gluten free menu just for a change.

Joseph Driskell

Probably one of the best experiences at a hotel in recent years on the strip, Tram in the rear of the hotel makes it easy to get up and down the strip and to the convention center. It's close enough to walk to the sphere or the roller coaster. There are not a lot of food options in the hotel, but Tropicana and Linq share a nice alleyway that is nothing but resteraunts on both sides for about 2 blocks. Very nice area with no homeless or performers begging for cash. The price I paid for a Tuesday through Friday room was very reasonable.
