Plaza report

Dad and I were at the Plaza 10/10 through 10/14

Dad is 87 and has some mobility issues. We ordered an electric scooter from Scootaround as we always do when in town. It was waiting for us at the Bell Desk and they even knew where to find it (unlike the TI and Mandalay Bay on other recent trips)

Check in was quick and easy. We got to the room and I discovered it did not have a handicap accessible bathroom so we went back to the desk. They were genuinely surprised it had a step in tub rather than a walk in shower. They quickly changed our room (same room, different floor) and it was all good.

Room was in great shape, on a pie wedge shape because it was on the corner between the middle section and the right side of the building (If you can imagine the building with a left, middle and right, you will understand what I mean). We had a view out the back looking at the railroad tracks which was fine with us. It was quiet and had a view of the mountains.

We didn't gamble at Plaza so I cannot share our thoughts. We played at Golden Gate where they took good care of us and Dad did well. We took advantage of the Binions and Four Queens football rebate promo. Ate well and won some money. Food and beer was much better at Four Queens.

We were very happy with the room and I think in the future we will use the plaza as our home base when we stay downtown.

I know Plaza has been panned in the past for the rooms facing the FSE but I think this is likely to be a thing of the past. The endcap for Slotzilla should block and buffer a lot of the sound as well as the bands on the stage on the other side of slotzilla faces the El Cortez end of the FSE so that will direct the sound that direction as well.

Thanks for the report . So cool that your dad still likes to go to Las Vegas ! We took my father - in law each week to the local MGM property until he passed at 96 . Do you remember your room # ? Was that room a bit larger than the standard room? Bob

I am sorry, I had the room number but now do not recall it. As you came from the elevator, if you went to the left it was the first room (right after the ice machine). Not sure if it was bigger or smaller since i haven't seen their regular rooms.

Dad loves his Vegas trips and we also go down to Mohegan Sun a lot and make a trip to Atlantic City in the summer.

Past hotels we have stayed at include Golden Nugget, Bally's, Rio, Mandalay Bay, TI, Westward Ho, Sands and others I can't recall

I think that Plaza rooms are fine and I was there on 10/14 as well (arrived at 3 in the Morning on that day). I've stayed there for many years and like it. I just wish that the Video Poker pay schedules had not gotten worse (due to the new changes in their slot club).
