We made reservations in January, to stay at the hotel for 10 days at a suite overlooking Lake Tahoe....when we showed up in April, the tower where our room was supposed to be is closed!!!!???? So we were offered another upgraded suite at ground level...the room featured 6 guys outside the windows cutting cement, grinding stone, etc. SOooooo we asked for another room, now they put us in a regular room BUT no discounts are available, so we are paying for a king suite with a lake view, a balcony, refrigerator, etc......and staying in a shoe box room. UPDATE. We have received a line of credit on the room, which can be used for food and beverage for $150, and the promise of delivering on our original room tomorrow. Will maintain updates and review. They have delivered today on the room we had contracted for. It must be understood that the situation is out of the control of the front desk workers. We are all dealing with the remodel, incidentally the new rooms are all brand new and very nice. We will finish this post at the end of our stay. read more

There should be different pages for different amenities because I have to say the hotel room itself exceeded what I expected. Especially on a July 4th holiday. I knew I booked an old tower room so I expected a dark cave with bugs and dust everywhere, leaking water, gross smell. Lol none of that was the casse. You can't help people stomping around above you but luckily they waited until after 8 am. The room was large and clean and the bed was comfy. Windows opened looking across 50 over to Ballys side, but it was quiet. Front desk ladies weren't that friendly but were laughing with each other. My problem is with the pool area. I paid 165$ for a daybed because the website said chairs would be 75$ so why not pay more for a padded bed. Turns out nobody had to pay for chairs. The pool wasn't that busy at 10 am with no music and ambiance was odd so we left our stuff and went to eat breakfast. We came back and still no music. When I inquired about why the music wasn't playing we were told the speakers were broken. On 4th of July... for America's 250th. Around 1 pm I asked again about the music because... I didn't pay this much money to just listen to kids splash around and scream. I was told a band was supposed to come soon. That never happened. Around 2 someone decided to turn up the music on one speaker that seemed to be working. Vibes were better at that point but still pretty bad considering it was only coming from one side of the pool. Drinks were terrible. I asked for a lava flow, a very common pool drink but got some type of guava mango pineapple coconut mixture. If you don't have the ingredients it's ok to just say so. Anyways the biggest disappointment was the amount of money I paid for expectations not delivered. I already paid 400$ for the room.... Knowing nobody had to actually pay for chairs was a slap in the face because we had our choice of chairs when we arrived at 10. I definitely feel like that was fraudulent advertising. read more

The only thing this place has going for it is the location, which is perfect. The rooms, even in the new tower need help. The sheets on the bed smelled like they stayed in the washer much too long - mildew like. Despite multiple requests, they will not turn down your room. I resorted to leaving the trash outside the room in hopes they would get the hint. The front desk is understaffed and frazzled; I get the feeling they're not used to a large quantity of people (we were in town for an athletic event). read more

Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe - Front of hotel - Hotels Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed. The rooms were dirty and 80's style. They charge you for everything. I stayed 2 nights, paid over $600 w all those BS fee's added up. The parking was $30 p/day with hardly any cars in the parking lot, don't forget the resort fee. The hotel was being remodel and still charge for resort fee, when there is no resort activities. The gym was a joke, & the pool was closed. Most of the tables in the casino was closed or no one playing. There are some slots. I was watching people feeding the machine, just kept feeding it : no pay-out. (Is like hotel California, you deposit, but no withdraw.) The Nuggets @ Vegas is much better hotel. There's a lots of other casinos / hotels in the area with better accommodation w reasonable price ... Go stay there. read more

The first night we said here we staid in an older room that smelt horrible. The rest of our trip we staid in the new built tower on the second floor with pool view. The rooms are nice big vanity nice shower and pretty decor. The new pool is ok just missing a hot tub. Was hoping the maids would make our beds but all they did is take the garbage out. read more

We came here to watch the NFL Season Opener. They are doing a lot of remodeling and there is construction everywhere. We were looking forward to eating at the Oyster Bar, but it was closed. We checked out the sports book, but it was more of a restaurant then a sports book. You couldn't sit in there and watch then game unless you had a booth reserved and you were ordering food. The other seating was at the table games around the bar and that was all taken too. My husband also said the vibe wasn't what he was looking for so we left looking for a casino that had open seating and a better vibe. There was another spot we found in the casino to sit, we found a table behind a bar between the bar and the slot machines. It had just freed up so we grabbed it, but the wrong game was on tv and there was no sound. Maybe after they are done remodeling the set up will be better. read more

Golden Nugget is a smaller casino across the street from Harrahs. I was charging my vehicle for the way home and decided to stop in and play some slots when my vehicle charged. Pretty empty inside, only about 2 others. Very clean inside and construction was going on. The staff was all very nice and asked if i needed anything vs other casinos with no customers service. Many slots and a few table games. Nice location to stop and play and i came out a winner too! Definitely be back again. read more

Some of the rooms have great views. The hotel has recently been updated nicely, especially the bathrooms. it used to be the hard rock hotel, and we stayed here when it was that as well.. It has a very nice outdoor swimming pool with rentable cabanas with TVs, and a lifeguard on duty. We enjoyed eating at saltgrass the restaurant on property and the food was delicious. There are covered and out uncovered parking options available. It is not a bad walk to shops other dining options and the beach. Beware the parking can be expensive and you're not told anything at check-in. read more

Apart from the super slow check in and how far our room was located, our stay here had no hiccups. We got a room with King sized bed and it was spacious enough to still have a crib on the side. The crib they provided was the small, for travel type. It served its purpose so I wont complain. We opted for the newly renovated room just because it looks nicer. The only downside was it doesn't have a bathtub. Even though the hotel was located towards the end of the street, it's still convenient enough since the shops and restaurants were still within walking distance. There's a small casino downstairs and some restaurants to choose from. We ate at Saltgrass Steakhouse on our first night and had a good time. The water bottles in the room were not totally free though and the ice machine on the hallway was not working. read more

We had a horrible experience at this hotel. The hotel mistakenly cancelled my room--that I had paid for--4 days before my trip. I did not request a cancellation and still have no idea how this happened. To re-instate the reservation, I had to be charged the same amount again. They informed me I would receive a refund in 3-7 business days from the initial payment. I did not receive a refund, nor any confirmation of a refund from the hotel. Upon reaching out to customer service again after the 7th business day, they couldn't find any note of a refund. I had to report the double charge to my bank as fraud. Now onto the actual stay...our room was disgustingly dirty. There was a thick layer of dust along every surface in the entire room. It looked like the room had not been cleaned in weeks. Every piece of bedding and every single towel was filled with static. After just sitting in the bed, you would get shocked by anything you touched. There are no outlets near the bed and very minimal outlets in the room at all. Our room was supposed to be directly across from the other room in our party, and instead it was down the hall. This was after several confirmations from the hotel that it would be directly across. When we booked this room, there was a special going on for a $25 food and beverage credit per room, with 25% off the bar at the hotel. We did not receive this credit, nor did we receive any discount at the hotel. This advertisement for the credit and discount was also a complete scam. Prior to this hotel switching from Hard Rock to the Golden Nugget, it was one of our favorite places to stay. After trying it out post-switch, we will never be staying here again. read more

This was a very nice place to stay for the 4th of July weekend. Got to see fireworks from room, had a great view of the Lake from room as well. Service and friendly staff, helped with all requested needed. Great gambling options, tables, drinks and restaurants. My only gripe was getting my room right next to the elevator, ice machine and room service supply closet. Loud and drunk hotel goers at 3a-4a walking loudly n hallway, 8am traffic waiting for elevator that's loud and the cleaning service in the supply closet playing music around 8am are my only setbacks here. Next time, will make sure we are away from the middle of the floor where it gets loud at all the wrong times. But would return for a room further down the hallway. read more

if I could give zero stars, it would be more accurate. The hotel is filthy, our room has not been cleaned after two nights. When I called to complain, the front desk responded with "we are short handed and can't get all the rooms clean". That is a such a BS response. It is not the customers fault that you don't have help. You are charging $600 per night and don't have adequate staffing. This place is horrible, severely understaffed. I would never recommend this property to anyone at any price. The owners should be embarrassed for the service at management at this property. read more

Appreciate that they allowed us to check in 45 minutes early but that's about where the positivity ends. The casino and hotel are currently undergoing renovations. The room we stayed in appeared to have been renovated already but it was still in disrepair. The toilet seat was nearly falling off with very loose hardware. The heat lamp and vent fan in the bathroom were inoperable. The peep hole in the door to the hallway was missing it's cover with no other way to block it. Thankfully we were on the tenth floor because the sliding door to the balcony was nearly impossible to get to lock. Their resort fee was 31.86 after tax and they don't include parking in that fee which was an additional 22 even for hotel guests. When we went to leave our key card to get us out of the gate and off property didn't work and we had to call the front desk. Overall, I feel our stay was way overpriced. read more

We stayed here a few weeks ago for the first time ever, and had a pretty good time. It's pretty conveniently located, next to other stores, restaurants, and casinos. There is also some good hiking nearby as well. Our room was upgraded, which was a nice surprise. The suites are so big, and have a nice view of the surrounding mountains. I like that there is a cafe located on the first floor for a quick coffee fix. The rooms have keurigs but I didn't think they worked that well. Overall good stay. It was like a 3.5-4/5 star stay. I think next time we may stay elsewhere to change it up, but this isn't a bad place to stay at all. read more

The parking lot is very big and there are plenty of Tesla superchargers. The casino itself is full of the smell of cigarettes and marijuana.

What an amazing visit. Kyla was so polite very happy to help me even though I had a lot of questions. She was extremely patient with me when I was trying to book a future stay. The waitress at salt grass was extremely nice. Thank you so much and I look so forward to my next stay read more

Stayed at the golden nugget on a thursday night with my wife for a quick getaway and we had a pleasant stay. There was a lot of construction going on, it looks like they working to update the north tower and much of the property. I don't have any major complaints although the A/C didn't seem to be working very well. We were staying on the 11th floor and at one point my wife turned the heat up.....we came back to the room and it had warmed up and we tried to run the air to bring the temp down and it just didn't seem to be working. Luckily we opened the window and got some cold air coming in to make it more comfortable. Room was clean and satisfactory for a basic casino hotel room and the beds were very comfortable for my taste. Bathroom was tiny but clean and functional. Dinner at the steakhouse was nice, had fun on the casino floor for a couple hours after dinner, got a few cocktails and the waitresses were very pleasant and attentive. I'd definitely stay again sometime, hope they put a hot tub in with the new renovations. read more

They really did a nice job remodeling the old HR rooms, however the staff appears to want to be anywhere but there. With the large investment in sprucing up the property, the casino has terrible feng shui. I will not return. Please get some people that can be happy to work in there. It was seriously a bummer from check in, to the rewards person, to the Starbucks person, to the check out lady who actually took a personal call while I was talking to her with no mention of the rudeness. Its a shame and I hope it turns around. read more

We've stayed at this hotel before and really want to love it, but there are multiple issues once again. Bird poop all over window, bathroom door tight / hard to open, ice machine not on each floor and the one I went to on another floor wasn't working, etc. Construction going on during our visit was loud and annoying. Would have appreciated a heads up on that. The pool is nice though which is why we return. read more

The best pool in Tahoe, new machines, a steak house and lots of table games open even on a weekday. Looks like the renovation construction is over in main areas and its time to enjoy this beautiful new resort. When I was a kid this was the "High Sierra" then "Horizon" then "Hard Rock" and now Golden Nugget. Its got the nicest pool in all of South Lake Tahoe - its huge!! Its sandwiched between the older smaller tower and the newer tower - and that alone might be worth booking a hotel room here. The whole resort is so spacious. It's hard to explain but it was built in a time when space wasn't at such a premium and the result is lots of breathing room. Even the casino isn't crowded where you have to side step to squeeze through machines as in many CA Indian casinos. I didn't eat at the steak house yet (looks tempting) but its gorgeous. The outdoor patio space was brilliantly designed into the restaurant to maximize its use and to flow into the outdoors - which is probably why your in Lake Tahoe in the first place. Convenience is also a great aspect of this hotel. Across the street is CVS a burger place, a pizza place, a bar, another small casino, coffee spot - lots of other points of interest. Convenient short walk to the lake (not as close as Republic or Harrahs) makes this a good choice. Much better than some cabin or tent in the woods with nothing. Lots better than some similarly priced motel - value inn - but of course if you've got the money my #1 hotel choice is the executive at Harrahs. All the main areas are fully renovated - I think the rooms are still underway probably done in sections - if your very sensitive to construction noise maybe at check in ask that your room not be near any of that just in case. read more

I arrived at 11pm Thursday night for a conference on Friday. Booked two nights then extended. My first two nights were long days, late nights so I did not see the room in the daylight. It was a lovely suite. Dated and well used over the years. The smell of mold and chemicals on the eighth floor were so strong I had to keep the windows open my entire stay which was fine. I was glad I could open windows. The cold night air made for some great sleep. When my horror began was when I finally saw my room in the daylight. I had already taken two showers in the dark here. The bathroom had not been properly cleaned and there was multiple bio waste all over the bathroom which had never been properly cleaned. There was a power strip behind the bed dresser covered in an inch of dust bunnies. It was a fire hazard to plug in a CPAP. And my towels which I had used were covered in black material (I am presuming makeup. Which I do not wear BTW). On Saturday morning, I went to the front desk. The poor young lady was all by herself, a line well beyond the carousel, and she (like the previous other shifts I had seen) was doing the best she could given the lack of staffing. She was very professional with my concerns, offered to clean the room or change me to a much smaller room, even giving me the key to look at the room before consenting to change. I agreed to change and asked for a porter or a carriage to move my belongings. I waited for about 30 minutes in my room, door ajar. A man with a radio came in, saw the room occupied and immediately turned around, walking rapidly down the hall. No Porter. I decided this was not worth the price of admission. I ended my time in Tahoe two days earlier than planned. To their credit, they did remove the charges, attempted to accommodate me. The people at the front desk were very pleasant despite being yelled at by so many overbooked and angry customers. So much was wrong. I did not even get in to the TV not working, multiple out lights, lack of trash cans. There was no service in the room so no refreshed coffee pods and no clean towels or made bed. And the front desk was VERY concerned about the man scouting the halls and looking in rooms. She was more concerned about that than the fecal experience in the bathroom. I am glad safety was a concern. I will chock this experience up to a lack of qualified staffing, poor quality control and a business model made to get you in to gamble and drink more than a pleasant hotel experience. I hope our conference organizers do not rebook here for several years as most of us had issues with our stay. They are remodeling rooms, added a new tower. But these are not good if you do not properly maintain and clean them. read more

I was a bit surprised when I saw all the bad reviews for this hotel. My experience was quite good, but we did not use the amenities much. I stayed in the sunset tower, the room was spacious and lovely. The bathroom was especially large and nice. My only complaint was that there was no water refill station. The parking lot and parking card was easy to use. read more

Absolutely NOT family friendly and completely disappointing experience from start to finish. The hotel is under construction (which wasn't disclose). The pool was closed, the gym was closed because they were tiling, and amenities were basically useless for families. If you're traveling with kids, save yourself the headache. The worst part? As paying hotel guests, we tried to have dinner at the sports bar with 2 adults and 5 kids who just wanted wings, burgers, and fries.. nothing crazy. First we were told we could ONLY be seated if we agreed to spend a minimum of $50 per person. After questioning that ridiculous policy, the manager came over, pretended to "check availability," and then immediately claimed there were no tables available, when the girl in front said they had a booth available if we AGREED to minimum spent. No wait list. No time estimate. No solutions. Just rejection. As paying guests.. in their own hotel. Meanwhile, we had already eaten at their steakhouse the night before, but apparently families don't matter here unless they're spending big at every meal. This place made it very clear they don't value families, don't value guests, and customer service is an afterthought. Between the construction, closed amenities, and getting turned away from a restaurant inside the hotel we paid to stay in... this was ridiculous. I would never recommend this hotel to families, and honestly, management needs a serious reset on how they treat paying guests. read more

Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe is one of the four major casinos in SLT. Self-parking has a fee. Fairly crowded casino. Slots, game tables, & sports book. The craps table had a $20 minimum. :( Although, if you dine at any of the restaurants, they can validate your parking fee. We stopped in for dinner at the Oyster Bar. It was good. read more

Checked in today. They only had two people working the front desk and they was a super long line all day. No one answered the front desk or housekeeper line all day. The hvac isn't working and the room is on fire. The tv movies Internet isn't working. Can't get a hold of housekeeping to get washcloths, ask the manager to not put us by the elevator/ice machine and we are right across for the room that they had us in.. would not allow us to be checked in all day because they say the romm wasn't cleaned waited from 2pm till 6 pm. 3:30 Am had to call security cause the room was getting extremely hot. He sends up someone from engineering who can't fix the air conditioning or the tv internet . Very disappointed. They advertised these brand new renovated rooms. Should have stayed at Harrah's read more

Pros: we only stayed here two nights. And then we checked into our very expensive Airbnb. Truthfully, I wish our entire group had decided to book here for the week. It's cheap and we were in the sunset tower. And Sunset tower has all new renovated rooms. The rooms were so nice. Cons: they were little things we didn't like about the hotel. But it was so cheap. It was easy to overlook. Housekeeping is only available upon request. That is so annoying. The girl at the front desk didn't tell me about that and so we didn't get housekeeping during our stay. If someone knocked on a door in our hallway, we could hear it at night. But then we didn't hear any other sounds from other people except them opening and closing their doors. As others had mentioned, the parking situation was so annoying. They gave us a key that would work in the parking lot and it never did. We would have to call the parking attendant. And parking attendant was always so rude. They would try to talk us through how to use the key on the keypad and there was a huge sign that said "place key here" that's what we were already doing. Speaking of rude people, the front desk people at the hotel are so annoying. Anytime day or night, if I had a question it always felt like the same rude girl. Most of the hotel and casino are under renovation so the restaurant I wanted to eat at was closed. There was little stuff like the lamp by my bedside was missing a screw and so I would have to like remove knob covers to turn on and off the light. read more

Not actually cheap per night because of other fees not included in the nightly price. We decided to give the Golden Nugget the benefit of the doubt even after reading a bunch of negative reviews--however the negative reviews were justified during our stay especially the hidden charges that were mentioned in a lot of the reviews I found. Before I go over the negative experience that we had, I do want to say that the room itself was okay--it's an old hotel so the restroom and room was a little outdated as expected--we were put in a double queen with a lake view as we requested and enjoyed the room. I saw reviews of people complaining about the centralized heater but we didn't mind it because we were able to open the sliding doors however there was an evening when we smelled weed coming from the outside and had to close the window and there was no screen so we had some little bugs come in which we didn't mind too much (the weed was definitely something we didn't like). Again, bathroom was standard but an hour after we checked in, I noticed that there was about an inch long chipped on the bottom corner of the mirror and when I showered the tub wasn't draining well so the water was just pooling in the tub which didn't feel sanitary. The next morning we called in and were told that maintenance will be right up. We waited about an hour and no maintenance so we left our room and the maintenance guy showed up at 9pm. Fixed it quickly which was nice! Since I read reviews I asked for an itemized receipt and to our surprise we were charged $2 for each water bottles even though when I called in soon after we checked in I specifically asked if there was going go be extra charge for water bottles and was told no therefore I asked for a couple of bottles to be sent up. I travel quite a bit so it's a habit to bring a gallon of water to the hotel with me so I wouldn't have asked for those water bottles if I was told they were charging extra. I also tried calling on the landline during our stay and was charged $6 per call even though the calls didn't go thru??? Every time we went outside they were doing construction on the back exit to the parking lot which seemed like a health hazard because they were tearing down ceilings and you can literally see workers with a mask on probably for asbestos but no warnings for guests whatsoever! Again...these all could be standard to the hotel but it was just very disappointing that information weren't disclosed during check-in such as how much the resort fees and parking fees will be (pool was closed nothing was a resort about the hotel). Golden Nugget can be better by being more transparent about what guest will be spending their money on and how much charge they should be expecting. Safety signs for construction areas should be apparent and maybe when hazardous work is being done, close off area so guests aren't exposed to unsafe and health hazard areas. We were also very disappointed at how dismissive Lance was to our concerns upon check out and had to put our foot down to get our money back for the water charges which he did remove eventually but he had a very apathetic attitude and didn't apologize for our concerns. Please be aware and ask about those fees ahead of time! read more

Reserved a King room several days in advance, got two queens and my wife ended up sleeping in a separate bed. Bed was unsupportive and my back is killing me now. Elevator wasn't working to our room. They also tried to double charge us for parking when we checked in, and for some reason there's an extra $150 charged to our card on the day we checked out which I will have to dispute. read more

The absolute worst hotel possible. Avoid at all costs. We booked a room with a King bed and weren't given that room. Ok, I'll over look that. Then the room they gave us doesn't have functioning air conditioning and it's over 80 degrees in the room. We come down and they tell us that there are problems in the rooms in the whole tower. I ask for a different room and the one we originally booked to be honored and they told us that it wasn't their problem and they didn't have access or authority to give us what was honored. Then Ana at the front desk told me I didn't book a king room then I showed her the actual reservation showing the correct room and she said it didn't matter and that I messed up somehow. I asked for a manager and she refused to get a manager for me then she walked away. This hotel absolutely sucks. Avoid it all costs! Stay away! Tons and tons of other options. Ana is the absolute worst front desk rep ever! She sucks. You should fire her. She shouldn't even be allowed to pour cereal. Ana at the front desk is unqualified to deal with people. read more

We checked in on October 16, 2025. We were on 11th floor, lake side. We had a great experience! Excellent front desk staff, phone personnel (Kimberly) and room service attendant. Elevators are the best! Fast and reliable but with loud beeping lol. Hotel coffee shop staff in the lobby are very friendly and accommodating. In the coffee shop, I met one of the hotel front desk staffs (I guess). She's a white elder lady (forgot her name). She was very nice and sweet. Even though she was on break or just getting her cup of coffee, she still showed excellent customer service... She took note of my concern and took care of the issues.

Located on Stateline, next to Harvey's, is the Golden Nugget. This used to be the Hard Rock, but the Golden Nugget purchased them. The Gaming Floor and Check-in are nice. The elevators always have problems, usually only have one running. Lines, lines, lines. The rooms are exactly the same as they were before, desperately in need of renovations. The pool was dirtier than before. The parking structure elevators seem to be the original from back when it was the horizon. During the day we saw young kids near the pool area past 9 o'clock with no security insight, one child even got up on the lifeguard tower. Multiple nights, kids were yelling off the balconies past 9 o'clock. There seemed to be a person in their 20s that was sleeping out in a cabana, two nights in a row. They were updating the one tower, but good grief, they have a lot of work to do. *Plus, they have a bar and food by the pool* read more

I don't understand all the bad reviews on this hotel. I came here with my daughter and some friends to ski at Heavenly and it was a good place to stay . I had a king bed room and my friends had 2 queens, both in the sunset tower. The rooms were remodeled and spacious. Beds were comfortable. It is super close to heavenly literally less than a three minute drive so very convenient . I do wish that they had more food options inside the hotel. They only had salt grass steak house, a Mussell sea food bar, and a coffee place. A few more on site options would've been nice and convenient because after a day of skiing the last thing we wanted to do was leave the hotel and drive to dinner. I'm not a gambler so I can't speak on the slots or games but they have all of the typical casino games. Overall the stay was good, I would stay here again the next time I come to South Lake Tahoe. read more

paid $700 for a balcony room for the fireworks on the 4th, we arrive to a balcony covered in plywood so you can't even use the balcony, let alone see ANYTHING through plywood! Customer service was horrible, they do Not care. Said nothing they could do but comp parking and the resort fee. I threw an absolute fit and I'm guessing to get me to go away they comped the room. I asked where to go see fireworks, her reply....I dont know the answer to that. If you walk about 20 mins to the beach you could probably see them from there. Gee, thanks. Just don't even waste your money. Too many hotel/ casino choices for this level of customer service! I should have looked at the reviews prior, they are terrible and the the poor customer service is a repeat issue and all they say is "we're sorry it was disappointing". Oh, thanks, that fixed everything! Glad we paid $2500 for round trip flights for this! Thanks, Golden Nugget! read more

Last weekend we went skiing at the Sierra at Tahoe and we needed a place to stay. Golden Nugget was the most inexpensive place at Tahoe through Expedia. So we stayed there fro 2 nights. The place is off the center strip a little but it's not too bad. It's not as big as Harrah's or Harvey's. We checked in an found out that we had to drive through the back to get in the parking structures on the second level and need to use our room card to go through the gate. Anyhow, after parking we can just walk across the drive way to the hotel which's not far. The hotel was an old Hard Rock I believe, the lounge is nice with quite many nice pictures of rock history. I think the decor is quite excellent and interesting. Every door a different door picture. The hall ways are full of rock wall papers which are very pleasant to look at. I liked it. The ice machine only exist on 8th and 10th floor and the 10th floor didn't have any until the 8th floor. The room is quite big with 2 comfortable beds for 4. There are quite a few AC plugs and USB charging ports which is nice, but there's no fridge or microwave, want cold sodas or water must travel to 10th or 8th floor for ICE. The restroom is ok size, the water pressure is excellent for showering. All shampoo, conditioner and lotion are provided, even has a hair dryer. So why 3 stars instead of 4 or 5? - The thermostat doesn't work, it doesn't matter how you change the value of the temperature, it's always maintained 79F, it's so hot that my daughter had to open the windows for some cold air in. - The door doesn't close automatically because the lock plate is loose, creating resistance when the door latch hit it. Must use hand to force it to close. - The phone calling the front desk took a long time to get answered, seems like no ones there. - The price of the room is deceiving, the parking charge $20/day, plus resort, miscellaneous fees came up to $105 for 2 nights besides the room fees. Anyhow, I love the view from the 14th floor looking out to the lake and the mountains. It can be better and a nice place to stay. I have a member with Caesar's Palace but not this one. I only play a little blackjack because I don't have a credit line here. The casino look empty, may be it's on week days. read more
