Where to stay in old Vegas?

[Team Ramrod]

I have stayed on the strip a few times and this time Im looking to stay downtown. Is the Nugget a no brainer or what? Four Queens? Fitgeralds?

stay at a dump, El Cortez ftw

[Team Ramrod]

I think Plaza closed their Hotel

GN is easily the best. fremont is decent.

[milwaukee mike]

golden nugget
the rest of the downtown hotels aren't even in the same league

don't think they are remodeling just closed like Binions

Golden Gate is horrible. Fremont if you want to pay less than GN.

Did not know that about the plaza I guess it is open 3 more weeks depends when you are going

[Doug]

I found Fremont to be almost GN's equal in room quality ( south Tower). no pool but that is unimportant in Nov.

[fsugolf]

Golden Gate, so you are right across from the Glitter Gulch

Plaza is closed for renovations until sep 2011 or so they told me.

Fremont is a good choice...... it is a Boyd property, which at least has some decent standards for economy accommodations.

The Cortez recently remodeled and the furniture and stuff and it's pretty decent. However, the a/c-heating units make a lot of noise.

It's just down the street from a night club that stays open until 3am. Unless you're going to be up until that time I wouldn't suggest you stay there.

Oh yeah, there are police stationed at every corner. It's not in the best area of downtown. If you are going out at night I would suggest you take your vehicle. Don't walk in that area unless you're looking to score some drugs.

Stay at the Nugget, eazy peazy.

If you get a chance, go eat at Triple George steakhouse. It's like a block away from Fremont. Phenomenal food.

i heard they got cameras on the corners in that part of downtown not a place to be hanging on the streets late at night i was told

[milwaukee mike]

yeah i wandered off the beaten path last summer downtown at night, pretty scary stuff

have fun

sitting in the hot tub at golden nugget or hanging out at "gold diggers" looking over downtown are some good non-gaming experiences
