This hotel was cheap, and on the Strip (northern Strip, right across from the Stratosphere) . . . but boy, was it seedy. It had a 24-hour pool, but you couldn't have paid me to go in! I killed two roaches during a two-day stay. If you're looking for a place that's on the strip and CHEAP, this place is it -- and it does have free parking -- but it's a pit, no two ways about it. My boyfriend wasn't as offended by the roaches and general seedy atmosphere, so perhaps if you're a group of guys going to Vegas and you're looking for nothing more than a cheap bed and shower so you can blow money at the tables, this might be your place. I do NOT recommend it for a romantic vacation. I felt a bit like a "working girl" after a couple nights in this place!

Well...I did not stay there fortunately. I just photographed the sign. :-)
