Terribles Hotel & Casino

For $29/night you get a $29 room, etc. The room was somewhat dark, and other than the airplane traffic it was quiet. The maid service is slow. So slow that my room was not made up the first day. The casino is small, and cramped, but I had good luck at the BJ table my first night. The cafe was o.k.. I ate there around midnight my first night, nothing special. The free breakfast buffet I recieved for signing up for a players card was worth every penny. My main complaint was that the A/C unit is old. It kept shutting off. I would be concerned that the rooms would not be comfortable in summer. The location is something to take into account. It was a 20 minute walk to the Strip, which is what I expected, but the air temp was 55-60 degrees. This walk would be tough in the summer. Hard Rick is a 5 minute walk. It's not a place to take the wife, but if you know what your're getting into, it's a room in Vegas for little money.

Las Vegas was once known for its cheap eats and low hotel prices designed to get people into the Casinos. At most of the larger hotels now the food and room prices are pretty high. Terrible's represents what Vegas use to be. The food here is remarkably cheap and pretty good. The breakfast especially is top notch. I recently stayed overnight at Terrible's for the first time. The room itself was good. The hallways were a bit worn but overall this hotel represents great value. The one catch is to stay here you pretty much need a rent a car. I always rent a car in Vegas so for me it's fine but if you don't it about 3/4mile detached from the strip. It isn't real far but it's not a walk you really want to make. But if you have a car the location is actually very convienent. It's near the Airport and Center Strip. Even if you don't stay at Terrible's, if you have rented a car drop in for breakfast. Anyone who has a players card can get a 2 for 1 Buffett coupon at anytime and get 2 Buffett Breakfasts for $5 and you can cook to order omlettes there. Many locals eat here regularily. The coffee shop also has great deals.

We were in Vegas Nov 26th to Dec 4th , had a great time ,eat at Terribles, more than once, total of 5 times. Food was terrific and very cheap. We will go back again. The machines were also lots of fun.

Stayed there December 2 to December 6 2004. Room was a good size. Room and Bathroom was clean. Great location. $8.00 Cab drive to the Bellagio. Food and gambling was good. Regardless of where you stay, you shouldn't be spending much time in your room anyway, there is way to much to see on the strip and surrounding areas. I will be staying here again in the future.

First of all I must say don't let the name trick you. It's not that Terrible! The price was worth the stay; rooms were very clean! The only downfall was the customer service @ the front desk. They rather mingle w/each other. Although, the restauraunt waitress/waiters were full of "Aloha" spirit. They helped us give directions to places & most importantly always had smiles!

I paid $29 US for the room so how can I complain? We stayed there for our last night in town, after a mid-trip trek to LA. The room was fine, bed was comfi, room was clean, decore was OK. Bathroom was tiny. The pool courtyard is nice and private. The staff were OK. The pit boss almost had a heart attack because we were winning, you could tell he wanted the house to win. Too bad for them, we took $500 off them! The casino itself is really crowded and SMOKEY. I can't stand smoke and it bothered me so much I had to leave. There was a coupon in our room for a free breakfast buffet which ended up being really good. The slot club has good comps & coupon book too, even an ugly t-shirt for signing up. We ate dinner - a 1/2 rack of ribs, salad and 3 big sides. With a beer and tip it came to $9 each! I couldn't belive the cheap prices after spending days on the strip. Terrible's is the kind of place you can go and spend next to nothing. I would always take the strip over Terrible's, especially if it is your first time to Vegas or haven't been there in awhile. It's not great but it's not Terrible either.

This was my first time staying at Terrible's. In the past, we always stayed at the Flamingo or Stardust on the strip. We paid $29/night for our Room 1048. It was on the first floor just a walk away from the casino floor. Our non-smoking room was nicely detailed with 2 double beds. Everything worked in the room...no complaints...they even delivered a crib to the room upon my request! We had free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and back. Bougainville Restaurant buffet was okay...breakfast was better than the Thursday seafood buffet. In the Terrible's magazine located in the room, there are several 2 for 1 buffet coupons...we used them for dining there. We signed up for the slot club and got a free t-shirt. Convenience store inside the building was also good. There are only two noticeable drawbacks to Terrible's...(1) the staff was a little unfriendly...no smiles, no helpfulness...nothing. Just do their job and that's it. If they were a little more friendly, it would have been nicer but then again, I work in a customer service area so maybe I am more attuned to that particular aspect; and (2) location, location, location. Off strip! Since this was a budget trip for us, we didn't want to pay alot of cab fare to get around so we walked a couple of blocks to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, rode their free shuttle on the hour to the strip and gave the driver a nice tip each time. Overall, if you're looking for budget accommodations, this is the place to be. Great, clean room for very little money...just be prepared for ground transportation when you hit the road. It was a nice hotel and we'll stay again now that we know how to get around.

I've visited Vegas several times and stayed at Aladdin, Mandalay, Flamingo and Imperial Palace and I must say that Terrible's is great for the price. The rooms were nice and clean and the service was great. The location is very convenient and it was a nice little workout rooom that they had. I remember staying Alladin and asking where the gym was and they told me "Paris"! It was way better than Imperial Dumpster (palace) and way better bang for the buck than Alladin. The late night breakfast was great and the housekeeping staff was really friendly. I'm going back to vegas in 2 weeks and I'll be staying there for sure. The guys at the front desk was fast and friendly. I am looking forward to going back.

Don't let the name throw you! My sister and I found you don't always get what you pay for. Actually we got far more than we paid for. The rooms were large, comfortable beds, clean, and eye appealing. All the employees were extremely friendly. The food was a fantastic value. This is one place left in Vegas where you can eat a full (20 OZ) prime rib dinner for only $7.99! Or you can go to either bar and order a $1- $2 item such as 3 large chicken strips with fries, or a 4 chicken wing with fries. Terrible's is right off the strip, still within walking distance, if yo're a healthy person. If not it is like a 1 minute drive to the strip. This is where I will be staying from now on. No more over priced hotels for me!

I stayed at Terrible's Hotel in early September of 2004. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. Most of the guests seemed to be a bit older, so there were no wild parties or screaming children. The maids and room service were very friendly and helpful. The pool/ spa area was very nice as well. The prices can't be beat! Very affordable. There were only two cons- the airport is close, so during the day you can hear jets taking off. I just turned on the cooler or the TV to drown out the noise. Also- it's about 2 miles off of the strip. It may be too far if you plan on walking a lot. I had a car- so it wasn't too bad. Overall my experience at Terrible's was good and I would stay there again.
