Tuscany

Anyone ever stayed here?   Thoughts?

 I was there for 2 nights last week. I stayed in "O" building - room was nice, spacious and comfortable. Keurig coffee maker and pods. Refrigerator and counter with cabinets and a small sink. On site laundry and nice exercise room/area. Good food in cafe. Very little video poker worth playing. Reinstalled craps and blackjack tables. 10X v/p Mondays and Thursdays (age 50+). Quiet vibe, very pleasant and unhurried.I enjoy staying there and have several times. 

This is our main place to stay in Vegas.  The rooms are great.  They are like mini suites with a living room area, small mini bar area with fridge.  No microwave though.  The bathroom is spacious with a separate tub and shower.  What we like also, is that we can usually request which building we stay in to stay closer to the casino.  Also comped rooms have no resort fee, which is also a plus. 

There are three restaurants on site (Marilyn's Cafe, Pub 365, and Tuscany Gardens, their Italian Restaurant.) All three are great, but we really like Marilyn's.  Marcello is a fantastic waiter and the food is always good.  They also have a little coffee spot, gift shop and lounge.  The lounge has daily drink specials and live music.  There is one bar that takes up the center of the casino area and waitresses do a nice job of coming around pretty quick. 

They also have a very nice slot club and you can use your slot points for all the restaurants, coffee spot and gift shop.   There are various promotions throughout the week, including the Senior day (50+)

There are a few shows, but the only one I have seen is the Rat Pack is Back show.  Very good show.  The singer playing Dean is the spitting image, while the guys playing Frank and Sammy, not so much.  But it is a fun show.  The Jew Man Group show I have not seen.

Gaming is basically lots of different slot games, but nothing more than in dollar denom.  VP is not very good, and they have no actual table games besides some of the newer electronic ones. It is also a block away from Ellis Island and about a ten minute walk to the back entrance into the Horseshoe (Bally's). 

It's been since last summer since my wife and I went to Vegas, so didn't know they reinstalled the tables.  That's great.   My wife will be stoked when we go back in March. 

I just stayed there two nights two weeks ago. I try to stay a few nights each trip. The vp is okay (deuces wild), but there are mid-week promos of various kinds. They have a nice lounge with entertainment many nights. Have not seen Jew Man Group or Rat Pack is Back, but I like the look of the room. You can combine a show with a meal at the Italian restaurant.

They have a satellite Circa sports book, always a plus. My room was large, newly refurbished. I ate at the Pub, the diner-type restaurant (Marilyn's), and in the coffee shop. The Pub was a tad loud, but no food complaints. Ellis Island is an easy walk around the corner for the old steak special.

I showed it to the assistant director guy who was traveling with me -- it seemed like a reasonable place for a film crew to crash on a budget if shooting scenes in the neighborhood. Rooms could hold, three, four people no problem. Lots of public areas to sit and have a conversation, so it has a little bit of the feel of an old New York-ish summer getaway resort.

I'm a regular - I love the huge rooms.  The pool is amazing and they have a really nice lounge adjacent to it.

All three of their restaurants are fantastic.    I used to collect comps at the casino and spend them at Tuscany Gardens before their casino tightened up.   

I mostly play elsewhere now - but Tuscany is still a great place to stay.      Their standard room offer for people in the slot club is to waive the resort fee which makes it a really good bargain.

PJ reminded me -- pool and hot tub were open in December -- made me want to climb into the hot tub. Steam rising looked good.

The lounge area adjacent to the pool is very nice. They have those flaming warmers along the tables next to the pool. Nice night vibe.
