4 stars because despite the lack of Vegas glitz & glamor, this place managed a half a mile commute to the strip at $50 bucks a night--ON THE WEEKEND for us!
The beauty of the Holiday Inn Express is that it doesn't feel like a $50 per night joint. The amenities are clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, there's free breakfast and a clean pool :)
The room was well maintained and despite it's simplicity compared to STRIP Hotels (spelled ARIA), the environment was 100% liveable and breathable. Clean sheets, comfortable mattress, 20'' COLOR (haha) TV, and nice sound dampening.
If you ever need to save cash so that you have more money for the FOOD, SHOWS, CLUBS or GAMBLING, do NOT think twice, book Holiday Inn Express with the confidence that you are not throwing money down an asbestos, cockroach infested, hell-hole.
5 stars for a no-frills, clean and wonderful experience in Vegas. CLEAN being the key word--my Vegas trips aren't always CLEAN, if ya know what I mean (nudge, nudge).
Thanks Holiday Inn Express... see ya again soon. -

This is the first of a multi-part series of reviews for different restaurants and such in Las Vegas. Read my other reviews for the complete "saga". Okay, I'm done with the shameless plug.
Short term or extended, I highly recommend this lodging for staying in Las Vegas. This location is reasonably close to the Strip, has a great shuttle service, comfortable lodging, fantastic complementary breakfast, excellent pool and fitness facillities and a super friendly staff.
I stayed with several friends/colleagues in one of the "suites" for a three day weekend. The room we stayed in doesn't fit my usual defintion of a suite, but was very comfortable with two beds plus a sofa pull out which was reasonably comfortable. The room also had a microwave/fridge combination- perfect for groceries if you want to eat out less.
The great thing about their breakfast is that the food quality stands toe to toe with eateries many of the local greasy spoons. The eggs, although not as good as mom's cooking are surprisingly good for a complimentary set up. Unless you are particularly finnicky, "where do you want to go for breakfast?" will not come up during your trip.
The fitness center boasts two treadmills, a ski thingy, and some other sort of rowing or skiing contraption. So long as no one is sleeping in the adjacent room, the staff will allow you to use it after hours.
The pool was pleasantly warm, and the jacuzzi was in clean working order as well.
My only gripe about my stay was the odor of cigarrettes and cheap hookers that assault you when getting off the elevator on the 4th floor. Ok, well maybe just cigarrette smoke as I wouldn't know what a hooker cheap or otherwise would smell like (really, I wouldn't!). You can certainly request non-smoking rooms, but I believe they are only available on the first floor.
Overall, this was a great base of operations for my trip to Las Vegas. -

We love staying here. The staff are very friendly, and comfort rooms. internet access , as well as free breakfast. This place is great if you don't like to stay near the strip, but also is not to far from it.
The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because in all our stays I've seen a extra fee. But they right away take care of it with no issue. -

This location is ok. Not great, but not terrible. Like most Holiday Inn Express locations, you can hear just about everything going on in the next rooms and hope that you don't have anyone in the room above you.
Breakfast bar was well stocked and the attendant was friendly. -

I am sooo glad to finally be in Vegas! My BF and I drove down from Reno, with a side trip up Mt. Charlston and those hours add up. Maybe I'm rating this place 5 stars cause I so glad to be here. BF is crashed out and tired from driving, so I get to yelp up a storm! The free wifi works great, no probs logging in and speed is good. We are here only this one night, because this is actually a work trip for me and I'll be at the Mandalay the rest of the time, BF is just tagging along since I get a room anyhow. This hotel as a free breakfast that's not bad if its like all the other Holiday Inn Expresses I've stayed. Check in went without a hitch and the room is pretty standard for the chain....all these chains start to look all the same after a while. We did get over to the Mandalay for dinner though.

I went to Vegas a few days ago and I didn't really know what to expect when I booked this hotel...
The staff was very friendly, courteous and respectful. The lobby area was very clean. The complimentary breakfast was ok and the dining area was well set and clean.
There is also complimentary shuttles to take you to shopping areas and a few casinos (Mandalay Bay to name one). Although you can just walk to Mandalay bay or even drive yourself, since the strip is 2 minutes away! NICE!!
The room was very clean and the maids provide extra stuff when you need it! (Towels, Toiletries, etc.) Sucks they don't have a small fridge and microwave, but that's ok. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi is outside. Clean and simple.
I would definitely go here again. This is a good place to stay to avoid the excess crowds and noise of the busy strip, and save big bucks, but it's totally up to you! -

This hotel is really about saving money while being close enough. The rooms are nice enough with the 3 Vegas essentials: A working AC, heavy curtains you can pull to block out the sun, and round-the-clock front desk service. There are 4 shuttles available: one that heads south into the residential area of Vegas (odd), and then airport, Mandalay Bay, and MGM. Unfortunately MGM is only about halfway up the strip, so Downtown/Old Vegas goers have some walking to do - unless you ride The Deuce, a city bus for $3 each, or the Monorail, leaving from MGM for $5 each.
The shuttles run 7am-midnight, which is a very poorly chosen schedule given the core hours of Vegas-goers - after the shuttle shuts down, smart visitors can walk to Mandalay Bay (.8 miles, across the Russell Rd highway bridge) and take the Excalibur/Luxor tram for free, which drops you off next to MGM - then you have The Deuce and Monorail for the rest of your excursions.
Being off-strip but close has a major advantage - driving from this hotel is a breeze. Exiting a hotel onto the Strip is a nightmare of a drive.
Staff was friendly and the front desk was always manned. There was a good breakfast menu, free 6-9, but no one is waking up at that time in Vegas. A special treat for us Californians - Dunkin Donuts was close-by, including a 24hrs one on Tropicana and Pecos. Wifi was provided for free, no password, and reasonably fast. -

I love travelling to Vegas, but have never wanted to stay on The Strip, so this Holiday Inn Express is perfect, in more ways than one. It's close enough to see Mandalay Bay from the front of the hotel, and the shuttle will get you on the Strip in about 5 minutes, depending on traffic.
The staff are friendly, and professional, the lobby area is clean, and bright which seems to carry on throughout the hotel. The pool area is clean, which my kids always enjoy. The breakfast buffet in the mornings are great, some mornings the area is more crowded than others, but there's plenty of seats. I've used the exercise room once, and like that it's modern, and quiet, but located on the first floor across from the breakfast area, and front desk with constant traffic, so it's not isolated.
There's a gas station/convenience store across the road if you want to grab extra snacks, or drinks.
And the guest laundry room is a great convenience, I've never had a long wait to use the machines, which is a plus when you're living out a suitcase in Vegas with a family of 4. -

I only stayed here one night, but from that I could tell that I like this place. I was expecting a huge crowd and chaos because I was staying on New Years Eve 2007. I was able to check in early and found the room clean & the staff courteous. I wasn't able to partake in the free breakfast, but every time I was in the lobby it was sparkling. There's plenty of free parking too. This place is a business type hotel, so if you're with your family you should probably stay on the strip; but for people like me who have been there done that, it works out well. I will definitely consider this place next time I'm in Vegas.

My family and I have never been to this hotel before so I was not sure what to expect. Overall we had a great experience. This location is conveniently located right off the freeway and a couple of blocks from the strip. It is also near the airport but the noise wasn't a bother. This hotel is fairly clean. However the hallway does smell of smoke on the 4th floor but once you enter the rooms it's not so bad. The staff was very friendly and attended to us promptly with any requests. The best thing is not only to they provide free parking but they also provide you with FREE COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST! Not your traditional donuts and coffee. They had a whole layout of pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, muffins, toast, bagels, juices, coffee, cerals, yogurts. It was way more than expected! Perfect stay for an affordable price and breakfast is included! If you're not feeling like dining in, there's the option of taking togo into the room for a more comfortable environment.
