Off-strip plus everything downtown sucks. The poker action is on the strip and it’s nice to not have to uber back to your crummy hotel room for a nap from time to time.
Years ago, when money was tight, I used to stay at Excal, Lux, Ballys, Flamingo, etc. My last time in one of those holes I’ll never forget. It was Excalibur, stayed in Royal Tower (room had been recently renovated, was ok). Next door to me was probably 3 or 4 Mexican couples. They were so f-ing loud, like all the time. It’s like they never left their room, jabbering as loudly as you could imagine with really loud Mexican music (and I LOVE Mexican music, but not at 4am). I never called management on them because I’m too damn nice sometimes (I should have). Most miserable experience in LV ever, was exhausted when I returned home.
Here’s the view from my room at Encore last week:
