Hump Day Hotels: Bally's

Quick Facts:
     
     Age of the Hotel:          Old
     Quality of the Hotel:     Not that good
     Room Price:                 Cheap
     Hotel Theme:               Old
     Shows to See:              Jubilee!

The Long Version:

     Oh, Bally's. This is the place to go if you're on a really tight budget and still want to be able to say you stayed on the strip. With rooms for as low as $50 a night, you can kind of get a sense of the quality of the hotel. Now, I have never personally stayed there myself, but I have had several friends of mine stay there and they all say the same thing about it: you get what you pay for. Even some of their most expensive rooms can be as low as $475, so if you feel like living it up you'll be able to without having to open up a second mortgage (talk to me about all your real estate needs and questions). The building itself is pretty old and there hasn't been much done to renovate it except for what was done after the fire, so some pretty basic things that people take for granted may surprise you here. For example, if you want hot water you're going to have to leave the faucet running for a few minutes before it gets to your room, especially if your room is on the lower floors.

The Short Version:

     Really cheap hotel, you get what you pay for.

Monday Funday [7/28] - Wet 'n' Wild

One of the most popular places to go during summer would be Wet 'n' Wild Las Vegas. With a bunch of slides and pools to cool down in, it's really no question as to why so many people like to go here. It's open all of summer, and by the time it closes school has started back up again so there's no worry of having a day of summer where it's not an option. It's a bit more expensive that its competitor Cowabunga Bay, but that's some money that would just be spent on gas if you live on the other side of down and don't feel like going all the way out to the other side of Henderson for entertainment.

Overall a good idea for one of those hot days, probably not in the last few days with all the rain and lightning, but future hot days without those things. And as always, go to their website http://admin.wetnwildlasvegas.com/index.asp for more information.

And with anything you would need real-estate wise, you know the drill, go to http://vegas.kwrealty.com/ and shoot me an email or phone call.

Hump Day Hotels: The Cosmopolitan

Quick Facts:
     
     Age of the Hotel:          Newer
     Quality of the Hotel:     Clean, sleek, modern
     Room Price:                 Really expensive
     Hotel Theme:               Modern? Classy
     Shows to See:              Anything going on in The Chelsea
                                        Dancing at the Marquee

The Long Version:

     The Cosmopolitan, being one of the newer hotels, is really expensive in comparison to other hotels around. However it is a luxury hotel so you will be staying in some pretty sweet rooms even if you do go for the lowest priced room available. When you check in you may have an opportunity for a room upgrade for $30, and the people who have taken that offer seem to all suggest you take it. The Cosmo tends to attract a much younger crowd because of its style and there's a little bit of a reputation to the hotel that it's for the sorority girl types, but the staff is friendly to people of all ages and you don't have to worry about the "snooty" attitude that you may get at some of the other luxury hotels. If you go through some of the reviews of the hotel you'll see that customer service is actually one of their most praised qualities, along with the food available there. An oatmeal and juice brought to you by room service can run you around $50 though so be careful.
     In the Cosmo you have the Marquee, which was the top grossing nightclub in the U.S. at one point. It is easily one of the most attractive spots in Las Vegas drawing in people from all over the strip. This is something to be careful about though when booking rooms, as people have complained that the booming music from the nightclub can be heard in any rooms facing or around it.


The Short Version:

     Expensive but good quality hotel that will make your wallet hurt if you're not careful.

Monday Funday [7/21] - The High Roller

If you're looking for something to do this week, think about taking a trip to the High Roller. On Tuesdays, locals get a 2 for 1 discount making it pretty affordable and it really is fun. A good time to go is around 7:30 p.m. when the sun is starting to set and the lights are all turning on, once you reach the top it's like perfect lighting for some awesome pictures. Here are some pictures I was able to take when I got to the top:

Some pretty good pictures if I don't say so myself. Definitely check out the High Roller if you have time and for more information on the area around it like the Linq and the Quad, check out my blog post from last Wednesday.

Hump-Day Hotels: The Quad

Quick Facts:
     
     Age of the Hotel:         Pretty old
     Quality of the Hotel:     Not bad considering its age
     Room Price:                 Moderately priced
     Hotel Theme:               Asian, Chinese
     Shows to See:              Frank Marino's Divas Las Vegas
                                        Jeff Civillico - Comedy in Action

The Long Version:

     The Quad has gone through a lot of changes over the years. When it first opened in 1959 it was called the "Flamingo Capri." Later in 1979 when ownership was handed over to Ralph Engelstad, the hotel took on an Asian theme and was renamed as the "Imperial Palace." In 2012 it was again renamed "The Quad," and in a few months from now on October 30th, the hotel will be renamed a fourth time as the "Linq Hotel & Casino." Since around 2005 they have spent millions of dollars in refurbishing the casino and hotel rooms so although the hotel itself has been there for a long time, it still does a good job keeping up with the newer hotels coming out.
      The area around the Quad is also really nice. It's in a good location on the strip, kind of towards the middle so nothing is too terribly far. The Linq also has great shopping available and interesting art and architecture. There's also the newly added High Roller which is fun as well. Locals get a 2 for 1 special on Tuesday which I highly recommend. The price of the cheapest rooms are about $150 per night for 2 people putting it in the moderately priced bracket, but the price is worth it given quality of room and what is available to you right outside the hotel.



The Short Version:

     Old hotel but it is well maintained keeping it feeling new. Placed in a good location with lots of things to do around the hotel making this an overall good place to stay.
