I stayed there in February. Try to get a lower floor as the elevators require a fifteen minute wait sometimes and you will find yourself using the stairs. The pool area looked pretty old and nasty if that is your thing. 1 pool and 1 hot tub. The bathrooms were small and the carpet is filthy. If you have stayed at an older super eight, that is exactly what it reminded me of. It has that old hotel smell. It is a great location but even that is a little goofy as it is not right on the strip. You have to walk through an alley to get there. If you can get a room at Flamingo or Harrahs for a similar price I would do that. I believe we are going to stay at the Rio. The rooms are huge and clean, the seafood buffet is great and there is a free shuttle that drops you at Caesars or Harrahs.
