Lived here for 15 years. Haven't heard anyone say anything about it. Must be no big deal. Have heard more about Monte Carlo as a value stay, Mirage is liked, uhhh, Mandaly Bay seems to be mentioned a bit as well. I'm local so out here in the burbs the strip isn't the talk. We think value and local. Stations has a monopoly and they seem to be winning but the gambling dollar is getting more competitive lately. Local bars and Boyd Gaming seem to be spending more money to gather local money. Strip wise I wish I could tell you more but people like NFLTrends have a much better bead on the strip. Stick with his advice as far as that goes. Beyond the strip it does get a bit more tricky because you can score great deals only if you're local but that's not to say you still can't score great deals.
