mardi gras hotel casino las vegas tripadvisor

The rooms were spacious and half price of anything we could find on the strip. It doesn't have all the glitz and glamour of the bigger hotels, but it has much better accomodations that many of the hotels on Las Vegas Blvd.įor a Saturday night, this was the best value we could find close to the Vegas Strip. If you are just in Vegas for vacation, then you might opt for a hotel on The Strip simply for logistical reasons. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are attending/working a show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Or, depending on your energy (and intoxication) level and location, it is a $5 monorail ride back to the convention center area. Since it is doubtful that you will be ready to go back to the hotel by 11, it is only a $10-15 taxi ride back. Other than a convenience store, there is not much in that area and it is a long walk to The Strip but the hotel offers a free shuttle every hour that drops off and picks up at Bally's until 11PM.

We were in a room that faced the side street which had some construction, so there was some noise but it wasn't horrible and definitely not the fault of the hotel. They were clean, comfortable and had a refrigerator. We did not have to wait at all to check in or out and the staff was friendly and helpful. After working all day I was tired and it was nice to not have to 'hunt' for food and beer. We were there for a week and ate there quite a few times. The food was good as well as inexpensive. The menu offered everything from wings and sandwiches to steak. Also, they have a nice restaurant/sports bar (and slot machines of course) right in the hotel. Friends who stayed at other hotels said that it would take them an hour or more each way due to traffic or having to wait for the monorail/bus. It was a 10 minute walk each way from the room to our booth at the show. Second, the proximity to the LVCC is great. I was definitely the hero on that trip.įirst of all, the free airport shuttle and free internet (without resort fees) saves money. Taking location, price and reviews into consideration I chose the Best Western Mardi Gras.

Normally we stay at one of the big hotels on The Strip but knowing that CES draws 125,000+ attendees, I wanted to be close to the convention center so we wouldn't have to rely on the monorail or shuttle buses to get back and forth to the show. We were travelling to Vegas for CES 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and I had to find a few rooms. As the person responsible for logistics and travel for our company, I have come to rely on tripadvisor for honest reviews.
