... for good hotel-room suggestions, for an upcoming trip -- preferably something that's maybe a little underrated and/or off the beaten path. Since you guys (and gals) stay in Vegas hotels more than I do, it seemed best to throw this one open to the collective wisdom of the readership. If you wanted a good value but didn't to descend to the level of the Tropicana or the Plaza (both of which I've heard energetically bad-mouthed by former patrons), where would you hang your hat?
Incidentally, the LVA rating system is now open to all (i.e., no longer a perk for subscribers). So as you surf to restaurant, hotel, nightclub, entertainment pages, etc., feel free to weigh in and praise or damn, or merely damn with faint praise (or praise with faint damns) as the spirit moves you.
Why not the Main Street Station, it's downtown, clean and comfortable with nice beds including down comforters. Decent food and not bad gambling! Rooms are reasonable.
Stay away from Imperial Palace. It's a dive worse than either of the 2 you mentioned that you didn't like!
Hooters, it isn't the most modern, but it's probably the prototype of what people mean when they babble about "boutique" hotels. Not too large, intimate feel, and balconies that still be accessed.
I never stayed there in it's heyday, but I think the criticism of the Plaza is a bit unwarranted. Is it top quality, no, but it is a fun place to play, great sportsbook, and you don't have to worry about spilling a drink on the carpet. I really believe some critiques I read online are from people who do not realize that in a town where one room may cost you $199 a night, the hotel with the $35 room for the same night might not be of the same quality.
