OK,
I went to Vegas on my own and on a really LOW budget.
So i decided to stay at the Golden Gate Hotel on Freemont street in downtown .
The hotel was right at the start of the freemont street experience, which is a spectacular light show (see more in that tip).
Anyway, i checked in. The room, apperently was a non-smoking room, yet it still stank of smoke. The room was basic, nice but in general could have done with a proper full clean. They could also do with a paint job and the en-suite toliet/shower could do with a hard clean (although it was ok).
My room was towards the main road and at night the traffic was loud.
The hotel has an old / traditional feel to it which I really liked. The restaurant was Fantastic, serving proper decent food (not like the all you can eat crap, you find every where else). However be prepaired to wait for a while.
The most disappointing thing about staying downtown were the buses, (see more in the buses tip), one night it took me about 90mins (yes an hour and a half) to get from South Strip to my hotel!!!!!!!
Generally a nice cheap hotel, for those on a tight budget
Unique Qualities: Traditional feel, like I imagine Vegas used to be.
