Pros: Free parking, beautiful lobby and casino; view; room was clean (when they showed up to clean it); location.

Cons: Everything else, e.g., Housekeeping didn't show up first day; slow internet with mystery fees (was supposed to be free); TV was difficult to operate and had no program guide; no MSNBC available; ridiculously long walk to our car, apparently by design; furnishings somewhat dated; uncomfortable bed; noise from Tropicana Ave; very high resort fee ($40); surprise deposit of $150 posted to my credit card; very high cost for everything sold in hotel.

We didn't let these issues ruin our trip. However, it goes without saying: we are unlikely to ever come back. There are much better options available.
