You get what you pay for. That being said, this place is good if you’re looking for a bargain. They have three options for dining within the property, and all three are open 24 hours. The property itself is older, and hard to believe it is the sister property of the Stratosphere on the strip. However, it is priced appropriately. Our room did not have a coffee pot, but there was an iron/​board & hairdryer. Our window opened slightly, but it didn’t help too much because people decided to smoke directly outside it (we were only on second floor). Cooling unit works well. It is not meant to go lower than 69° F, but I’m not sure who is actually comfortable at less than 69° F. It was clean, just older (carpet/​furnishings/​fixtures/​TV/​etc). I would stay here again, as it was much cheaper than staying anywhere else for the dates I came in.

For me not enough I could say about Mary who works in the ace play players club. I held her up from several minutes asking her various questions on promotions and how the points work she knew every answer to every question with nothing but politeness and a smile… this woman deserves five stars!!!

This buffet is the worst. They were closed for 2 months for remodeling. The room is nice but the food is horrible. Trays are always empty and food is cold. Been there 4 times and had to point out the empty trays to the workers each time. I won’t be back and would not recommend this place to anyone. The old buffet was much better.

Great buffet/​good service/​good price. What more can you ask for from a champagne brunch. Not too fancy, no shrimp, but very nice selection with great servers.

Dated locals casino has been doing a lot of improvements. The buffet has just reopened after a total remodel. It’s bright and pretty. Tasteful décor and the lunch buffet was cheap but delicious. You cannot get that quality food anywhere for that price. They have a made to order pasta station… Stir fry to order station, and a cool fire pizza oven. I had the best turkey from the carving station of any place I’ve eaten in Vegas. The place was clean, the staff was wonderful, and the chef made a point to come by and check in with us. I would highly recommend checking it out. It’s cheaper than fast food and tastes a whole lot better!

I can’t rank it as good or bad. Basically it’s your run of the mill local casinos. Slot machines and a buffet. Nothing fancy. I stopped here because I had an hour to kill after shopping at the Meadow Mall. I’m fascinated by the elegant décor of casinos, but nope nothing exciting here. Can’t fault them however. I wasn’t expecting much and it’s common for local casinos to be no thrill.

Bingo is awesome! Staff is awesome and so friendly!
But, the Sourdough Café was horrible. Our waiter was awful and so was the cashier. Everyone in there acted like it was their first day, orders were wrong, never got refills, and took forever to grt our food, while the waiter sat in a booth and watched one of the tvs.

Love this place! Great bingo! Great prices and better bingo payouts. But I really want to comment on a gentleman named AJ, he is a valet. AJ is such a fun person and has the best laugh! It’s worth the valet just to meet AJ!

Okay, this hotel isn’t the Paris, obviously! But for the very affordable rate, it doesn’t have to be. I booked four nights through Expedia, and was guaranteed a non-​smoking room, which I didn’t receive upon check-​in. I was told that when booking through a 3rd party that this is not unusual. Well. Arizona Charlie’s put me into a Non-​Smoking room for the next three nights in the Klondike tower. The room is very nice, comfortable, clean, has a great TV, refrigerator, coffee maker, great pillows and air conditioner. I am very happy here! I will book directly through Arizona Charlie’s next time and stay away from Expedia!

I have had some great stays at this hotel but after this week I will never return again. Service was horrible! Luke warm water saturday night. No hot water sunday night. Then during my shower monday morning water came to a trickle. Booked a smoking room over a month ago and was told at check in they were out of smoking rooms. Monday asked to be moved to a different room. None available. Only compensation offered was a meal. There should be less than a 1 star rating.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a simple person and many of my friends would agree that I’m low maintenance. I don’t need the works when it comes to hotels. All I require is that my room is clean, bed reasonably comfortable and that it doesn’t have an offensive smell. That’s it. I don’t need 500 thread count sheets, fluffy pillows, name brand toiletries, plushy towels, etc.
Cleanliness is at the very top of my requirement list. I am very comfortable staying at a Motel 6 because every experience I have ever had has been clean. Sure, one time my bed had a broken spring and I woke up with a sore back. But I would stay there again over here. My room here had an entire family of crickets. Now, crickets are not as bad as bed bugs but the fact that I killed at least 5 crickets within 15 minutes grosses me out. Give me sandpaper towels over bugs any day! I smashed those buggers on the walls and carpets and thought about leaving them there for evidence but decided to be a nice guest and clean up the bug guts. Bleck!
Had never heard of this hotel before but booked it through Hotwire on a great price cuz hey I know how to rock a 2 star hotel. If I didn’t have these unwanted pests I would have given this place 3 stars. Beds were reasonably comfortable and the bathroom was clean. We also got the non-​smoking room we requested and it didn’t smell bad at all. It was an acceptable place to spend the night on my way back to LA.
Excessive* number of bugs equals deal breaker for me.
*I discovered on this trip that excessive is more than 2. 1 is a coincidence. 2 is kinda funny. 3 is a family which means there were probably 30 I didn’t see.

It’s a decent enough place to stay if you’re popping into Vegas on a spontaneous turn around trip. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. 4.5 miles away from the strip.

Forced to attend a 2-​day conference here it is astounding that they could not even manage to make a simple PC-​to-​Projector connection functional — let alone get the heating and cooling right. A smoke infested disaster with no covered parking, no free WiFi, and the sort of feel that gives Las Vegas ‘locals’ casinos a bad name.

The stay was good. The pool closes at 8pm and could stay open a little later. They offer a place to eat in the casino and food was decent.
Forgot to add that wifi is $ 11.99 per device. We are in 2015 and it’s free almost everywhere. Would make the stay a lot better.

If you want to get your gamble on this is the place!
My wife and I enjoyed the slots. They have a good variety and our money seems to go a long way here. My wife bingoed here 5 times in 2 days so she wants to go back soon.
We also went to the Sourdough Café and it was very good as well.
Nice people working there as well. See ya soon Charlie!

If you like smokey rooms in a casino, don’t drink coffee or need to use the internet, then read no farther. This place is for you. The room was decent and clean.
We stayed here because it was close to a relative’s house. We hate smoking, don’t gamble, but I’m not downgrading it for that — it’s a casino and we knew that going in. However, while the tower is supposedly non-​smoking, the elevator sits open in the lobby of the casino and the cigarette smell wafts up through it, down the hall and into the rooms — and our room was the very last one — way down a long hall. Our room stunk.
There is a fridge, which was small, but handy — but no coffeemaker. No way to have some morning coffee, short of going into one of the smelly casino eateries.
On the plus side, it had instant hot water, which was great. But the faucet in the tub/​shower was broken — it was nearly falling out of the wall and the diverter didn’t work — only abt 25% of the water came out the shower head and the rest was wasted down the drain. I reported it to the front desk, but I have no confidence that anything was done about it. The irony was, of course, that there was one of those ubiquitous «Help Us Save Water» signs.
But the real kicker was the internet charge. $ 11.99 per day PER DEVICE! We had 5 devices: 2 Kindles, an iPad and 2 iPhones. $ 60 a day? Really? I set my iPhone up as a mobile hotspot and used our data minutes to download our daily newspapers and web surf, but lots of people either don’t have the capability or aren’t that tech savvy and will be ripped off by these outrageous charges.
Next time we’ll stay at a non-​smoking, non-​casino hotel in Summerlin.

what can I say about olé Charlie’s. It’s older, it’s smoky but it’s a good place for cheap 24 hour bingo (only 24 hour in town) and cheap steak and eggs at the Sour Dough Café :)
The rooms are outdated and old but the price you get you can’t beat it!

We were in town for a short two day climbing trip, and wanted a reasonably priced place to stay for one night. Considering the size of the rooms and hotel in general, this place is maybe half a step up from a divey pay-​by-​hour motel. The staff is fairly polite, but the hotel is disgusting.
Upon walking into the room, you notice a pungent cigarette smoke smell. We were never asked in our booking process if we wanted a smoking or nonsmoking room. I doubt they even have non smoking rooms. Also, upon coming back to the room after dinner, there was a strong smell of air freshener in the hallway, and a few doors down from us, a new large pale spot in the carpet where someone had obviously puked. Realistically, it’s Vegas and that happens, but in the morning it was still not cleaned… just scooped up and forgotten about.
Apart from the odor, 3 of the 4 lights in our room didn’t work, the carpet was damp in many places, the walls are PAPER THIN (we could hear a phone conversation in the next room as clearly as if the man was sitting in ours), the water in the shower changes temperature frequently, with no adjustment (steady for a while, randomly bounces to cold, then scalding, then stable again), and the air conditioner didn’t work (room stayed in the 70s, despite the thermostat being set to 60).
I wouldn’t give this place 0 stars, they earned their 1 star with the comfortable King size bed. But I would not stay here, and strongly dissuade others.
