A comfortable and clean hotel - Ivan. Date of travel: Aug 2007
This was my 1st visit to Las Vegas. I rushed into booking my Air tours (My travel) holiday at the Best Western Mardi Gras Hotel and casino which I later regretted due to some reviews that I saw on the internet. How stupid I was thinking this. The hotel is great for the money; in a nut shell all you do in a hotel room is sleep and wash. The service in all departments was great. Fast check in. Our room was ready early 13:00. The room was big and clean, the advertised mini bar is 2 bottles of water (if required) We required a “roll out bed” for the teenager in our party it was in the room within 10 minutes of requesting. And there was no charge. We had a problem with our in room air con unit. Maintenance was there within 10 minutes and when we got back after a day out a brand new replacement was in place. Although the size of the casino is like a mouse hole compared to the big hotels this was not a problem to me (I am not a casino addict) everywhere you look in Vegas has a casino (if they could fit them into the toilets they would) Pros: All staff were friendly and nothing was a problem. Large room, comfortable beds, free coffee and maker, fridge, cheap in room safe $2 per day (£1 approx), no hassle getting to your room (like the big hotels) this hotel has only 3 floors and 300 rooms approx, less traffic than on the strip. Free mini bus to the strip on the hour. Also a service to the airport. Very ideal location if you have a car, with easy on site parking. Drinks not too expensive in the bar free soft drink top ups with a meal. Free local phone calls from in room. Cons: None really BUT do not expect the Ritz. But as stated above I had no problem the comfort/cleanliness and the service was there what more do you want? Stated as 1.5 miles from the strip again not a real problem as a free mini bus is provided. Or use the mono rail.
