Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
I've never been in the Boardwalk hotel but the casino is a dump, I'd keep looking. Avoid Westward Ho. Imperial Palace is borderline. Anything else on the strip is OK.

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
The answer to your question totally depends on your budget. How much do you want to spend per night? I can say that the Boardwalk is a complete dump. I have visited friends staying there, and the hotel is not a quality property. Of course, if it's your first visit to Vegas, and you don't expect to spend much time in the room anyway, then why care? It's just a place to sleep.

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
Last time i was in vegas i stayed at the boardwalk and it was fine... just what i wanted... a cheap, clean room to catch a few ZZZ and take a poop. Just avoid their cheezy casino and if you meet a lady friend id advise going back to her hotel. The location of the Boardwalk on the strip trumps the bad aspects of it in my opin.

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
Hotel San Remo is a nice one. Its right around the corner from a bunch of big Casinos (NYNY, Luxor, Mandalay) at the South end of the strip, less than a block away from the strip. I think I payed $30/night and got discount tickets to their magic show.
As is the norm, I didn't spend much time there, but I remember the sheets and towels were clean when I needed them. - Weddster

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
I agree, the San Remo is a nice inexpensive hotel in a good area but no poker room. The Excalibur is very reasonably priced and in the same area as the San Remo, MGM, Tropicana, Luxor, New york, New York. The Excalibur has a good poker room This group of hotels is on one end of the strip. The Tropicana is inexpensive, dated,but has a nice pool. I've always enjoyed this area of the strip--lots of activity and you can take a shuttle bus(or even walk-not recommended) to go furthur up(down?) along the strip.
Near the Bellagio the Imperial Palace or Barbary Coast should be inexpensive but I've never stayed there. All and all, I'd recommend the Excalibur for its location, ro0ms andpoker availability. You probably have access to Expedia.com or Travelocity.com--you can get some decent prices through these sites or go to the web site of the hotel directly. I would not be unusual for the daily rate of the Excalibur to be $79-$99/ day and the Tropicana and San Remo to be about $69-$89/ day. regards, carlo

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
Just got back from Vegas. I played most of my poker at the Imperial Palace and ended up wishing I had stayed there (we stayed at the Flamingo).
The poker room at the IP is great! No smoking, short wait if any, coffee, ice water, finger sandwiches, donughts, cocktail service is quick and regular, dealers and floor are AWESOME!, two big screen TVs, you earn $3 in comps for each hour played (can be used for food, gift shop, rooms, basically anything you can buy at the IP). I talked to several people who were staying there and they said the rooms were great and recently remodeled. I will be staying and playing at the IP on my next trip to vegas! If you like snooty or trendy, this is NOT the place for you.....we loved it!!!

Re: Whats a good hotel in Vegas
Nice to hear the IP has remodelled. Last time there, about ten years ago, it was like sleeping in a warm vat of poo. To call it a dump would have been an insult to dumps. Plus, I had no interest in freako car collections or tight clusters of nervous tourists playing blackjack, chain smoking and charting dealer hands on astrological charts. The casino looked like the 2nd place finisher in the Star Wars alien bar competition.
