Searching...

We planned a 1 night stay here because it was right off the highway. It's easy to find. We reserved a non smoking room, but the room reaked of smoke! We asked for a real non smoking room, but only one available was an upgraded room. Of course I had to pay the upgrade...no negotiation there since they were full. They did move our luggage since we had a dinner date. The upgraded room was very nice, no smoke. So we recommend if you get one of the upgraded rooms. Check in and out was easy, the staff was friendly. Didn't gamble, but the casino was packed. Didn't eat there, but found a great local spot 5 minutes from the hotel...go under the highway and check out Dulce Donuts.

I made the reservations on line and was led to believe that I was getting a room in the newly renovated tower...no so. Our room was desperately in need of an update. I know this since I stayed here in 2002. Nothing had changed except for the wear and tear. Even the TV was the same, well maybe not the exact TV but very close. The shower was a big disappointment with what seemed to be a trickle of water. And very disturbing to me was the lack of parking. An entire parking lot out front was empty, reserved for valet only. Seriously....wouldn't be a great idea to give your hotel guest a place to park!Ok so enough negatives....I loved the constant fan on the air conditioner and the front desk people were very helpful and friendly. I will go back to Arizona Charlie but only after they finish renovating the tower.

We found Arizona Charlie's on Decatur to be perfect for our visit to Las Vegas. It's convenient to the highway and we didn't notice anything "bad" about this part of town and felt the hotel was very safe. There are 24 hour restaurants on site and the food was decent and reasonably priced. The rooms were clean and the employees were very friendly. Yes, it's a locals hang out and they hang out there in droves. It was busy day and night all week long. That seems to indicate that it might be a decent place to gamble though my luck wouldn't suggest that. I would look forward to staying at Arizona Charlie's again.

Worst place to play Blackjack. They deal one deck out of the two their holding. Other casinos in Las Vegas deal 1 1/2 to 1 ¿¿ out of the deck, which helps the player.If you encounter a pit person named Debbie you will find out that she is not a nice person. While I was playing blackjack one of the dealers laughed at me when I lost a hand. The dealer thought it was funny. I took the laughter as an insult. I was saddened. I called Debbie the pit boss over to me and when I told her what happened Debbie immediately said ¿¿¿our dealers don¿¿¿t do that¿¿¿.I still feel insulted.

After calling every place in town to try and find a decent last minute rate due to a death in the family and we had to come into town for the funeral, I settled on Arizona Charlie's who "graciously" offered us an $86.00 per night rate which I begged for because they originally wanted to charge me over $100 a night because I did not book in advance. Don't even bother asking for a "bereavement" rate anywhere in town because what you discover is that corporate America cares only for the all-mighty dollar. It's sad really.Our room (4408 in the Klondike tower) was adequate but this is one of those places that you check very carefully for bedbugs, we found none, thankfully. The bed was small and definitely NOT a pillowtop, only one skimpy blanket and weird sheets that appeared to be for a king-sized bed, turned sideways. There were old cigarette burns ALL over the place from the edge of the bathtub to numerous burns on the carpet in front of the elevator. Make sure you ask for a non-smoking room because they will not offer you one or even inquire as to your preference. The desk clerks reminded me of Stepford Wives with their flat personalities and emotionless interactions. I prefer people who smile and make eye contact.If you like the more "colorful" people of Las Vegas then this is the place to people-watch. Your young kids will probably have some interesting questions for you. It is a "local's" casino, smoky and dark. They are in desperate need of an upgrade of the ventilation system. I had to wash every piece of clothing we packed once we got home, even if it was never worn. "It's a casino" is not a good excuse for that experience. There are casino's that allow smoking but you do not become permeated with the smell. But rectifying this situation would mean that the all-mighty dollar would need to spent on improvements rather then salaries of CFOs and CEOs. For the money I would much rather stay at Red Rock Resort, especially for the casino.After all that, there was one more thing that convinced me to share my story with as many people as I can and that was what happened to my socks after 2 days (maybe a total of 5 hours, we were away from the room most of the time) of walking around. I have provided a photo as evidence of the incredibly disgusting situation here. I firmly believe that ALL the rooms are like this, especially the smoking rooms, which is most of them. PLEASE, if you stay here, especially if you have toddlers, stay off the floor! Never walk barefoot, the way I discovered this condition was by seeing the river of black that washed off of my daughter's feet in the shower. It was shocking and when I then checked my socks, I felt ill.
