Hooters Casino Hotel - Las Vegas, USA 

A Horrible Scam - Stay Far Away!
Posted: Fri, Jul 18 2008
The Hooters casino advertises $100.00 in free slot play when you join their slot club. We called to ask, "What's the catch?" and were told there was no catch. When we got there, the free slot play was only for a small, roped-off section of machines. We also got some useless coupons, including one for a free drink at a hotel bar that did not open for several hours. We were so turned-off by Hooters' deceptive advertising practices that we left and did not go back.

A Good Choice

Readers, the Hooters Hotel&Casino is a good, inexpensive alternative to the overpriced Strip properties. My visit was the weekend of 19-20 June, 2008. I traveled alone, for a reunion and retirement ceremonies for my military unit. The price was $109 per night for the two weekend nights. For the location, this was a very good price. Hooters is about 200 yards from the busiest intersection in Las Vegas, where the Strip intersects Tropicana Blvd. Walking was easy from one property to another; there are pedestrian walkways above the street, for all four possible street crossings. I did not use the $20 bill trick, because the room did not matter. *Remember, when you do tip the desk clerk at check-in, be ready to ask for what you want! "Pool View", "Quiet Room", "Strip View" or "Upgrade" are the common requests, here. My room was in the taller, Ocean Tower, 16th floor. The window faced the Strip-Tropicana intersection. This made for a fabulous view! I left the drapes open all night, so that I could see the Strip at any time. The view was clear enough to read the signs and watch the Manhattan Express roller coaster at the New York, New York Hotel. The room was fine. It was a major upgrade from similar rooms when the hotel was the San Remo. It had a tropical (Florida?) motif, and solid wood accents were throughout the room. The AC was fine, the bed was king-sized, and the bathroom was fine. The small casino was always active, and there were always plenty of orange shorts around. The table games are tighter than you can get elsewhere. WARNING: think twice before accepting the "Free $100 in Slot Play". You may have to stand in a long line to play a specific machine. The people in line looked like they were suffering, and those at the machines seemed to be just "getting it over with". There were constant elevator problems. Only one lift was available for the entire Ocean Tower. When this is the case, the hotel should open the stairs doors, so the more fit patrons can move quickly! Don't lose your precious Vegas time waiting for a lift! The parking garage is nice, and Valet was quick(only used once). I was confused about breakfast options; it wasn't until I got home that I found out that Marino's had a breakfast buffet. I'm sure I missed it somewhere in the Services booklet, but it needs to be posted prominently. Marino's is a steakhouse; a guest will not immediately assume that there is breakfast there. I always left in the mornings. There is a naughty-girl vibe about the Hooters. Surprisingly, a large percentage of the clientele is young females, who seem to enjoy the "I am allowed to dress like this, here" idea. This is not for me. To me, it is about table games. Personally, I prefer the downtown hotels. They are all adjacent, and the canopy protects walkers from the heat. The 4Q is larger and cleaner, at about 1/3 of the price. I invite readers to read my reviews of Golden Gate and ElCortez, which are two of my favorites. I wouldn't mind returning to the Hooters, but there are other choices. Contact me at [-], with "Las Vegas" in the subject line, if you want to ask questions about Hooters or Las Vegas. Gene Padgett! Starkville, MS

Chose hooters for my first trip to vegas, and i cant complain, the staff was very friendly. The room was clean. Check-in took maybe 2 minutes. The casino was a little small but i cant complain cause you can just take the 5 minute walk to the MGM Grand or the new york new york if u want to gamble at a bigger casino.

Worst Hotel Room, Ever!!!
Posted: Mon, Jul 07 2008
The room and housekeeping was atrocious. Window was filthy, Sheets smelled mildewed. I called housekeeping twice to have them changed and they were never changed in the three nights we were there. Luckily the room had two beds and we slept in the other one. Sheets were not changed for that one either. Had to call housekeeping each day for hand towels. They supplied us with bath towels and washcloths, but for some reason they hoarded the hand towels. The floor was not vaccumed when we first arrived. Little specs of paper was on the floor. The ice bucket liner was not changed the entire time we were there. The sink stopper was broken. Sink wouldn't hold water. The shower curtain was tied in place with a towel. This had to be the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. I told the manager and I was give a $40 food voucher for the restaurant. The staff was friendly. I would not recommend.
