Location9.0/10: Commonly praised: nice casino location, close to Scottsdale and the airport, and compares favorably to Vegas in terms of overall impression.
Room Quality7.6/10: Mixed room quality: many guests enjoyed roomy, comfortable beds and great showers, but others reported musty odors, wet-carpet smell, missing chairs, and pest sightings in at least one room.

Great stay 24 hour pool Great room, great environment, love that the pool is open 24 hours! Comfortable beds, great bathrooms, so much room for the money! Definitely plan to return!

Didn't like: Parking is a bit difficult but the valet workers were amazing and kind! Side note, just FYI, the restaurant downstairs was a bust. We sat at a table for 25 minutes and nobody ever came back to even get drink orders, we just left.
