I really adored this place and am looking forward to coming back. Rooms were huge and clean. Pool was a good size and clean. Really enjoyed hanging out at it during the hottest part of the day. Within walking distance of convention center and The Strip although I really enjoyed the low key atmosphere here and…

The short version
What visitors say about Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino
Price and location are why people book Mardi Gras, a budget hotel with a small slot room a few blocks from the Convention Center on Paradise Road. Convention goers and families on tight budgets fill it. Rooms are large, with a sofa, a fridge and plenty of counter space, the pool gets good marks, and the Sphere is close by. The bar and restaurant staff are the friendliest people guests met.
That's most of the good news. The rooms are old, and complaints about dirty carpet, hair, and trash left by earlier guests are common. A string of reviewers found the front desk rude, housekeeping requests went unanswered, and hot water is unreliable in some rooms. One guest documented bed bugs. Several felt unsafe at night, with strangers wandering near the rooms. The casino itself is a small, smoky room of slots.

NOTE: If you are looking to impress someone, for posh luxury, or for some "Kodak moment", STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Great location. Very close to Sphere - within a mile. Convenient to strip, Palace Station. Air port is 8 min. Bartender Jerrie was fantastic. As was waitress. Most of staff were nice. Rooms and hotel are older but pretty well kept. Pool and hot tub were nice. Casino was pretty small and not all the machines…
I would love to give a 5star review.
A great place to stay, bus station direkt at the hotel, view to the Sphere and the golf areal on the other side of the street.

I never do this but needs to be said front desk rude and dont care if your handicapped. Try to show paper to show what was asked to reserve. Hair in bath tub trash behind TV. Maintenance good security great. Just disappointed all around except security and maintenance. Wouldn't even try to help us get a room on first…
If you don’t mind bed bugs feasting on your flesh every night then this is the place for you.
The first couple of nights, i notice bites here and there and thought it was a mosquito. Today, I woke up with multiple bites, took a shower and went to the front desk and asked for the manager. Told her and shown her the…
Conveniently located right by the Las Vegas convention center, this hotel offers what you would expect for the price once you see it. While the stay was okay the experience was less than ideal. This hotel is inexpensive and you get what you
The staff in the restaurant and bar were very friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, our experience with the front desk staff was the complete opposite, they were rude and unprofessional.
If you are staying at this hotel, absolutely do not leave your valuables in your room. My $265 Dior Sauvage Elixir perfume, which I bought last week, was stolen. When I reported it to the hotel, they simply said the manager wasn't there and told me to call back later.
This is a great option if you just need somewhere to lay your head at night and you're on a tight budget.

I stayed here last year in August for the first time. It was a great deal for the location. Walking distance to the convention center and affordable. Plus the rooms are decently sized considering. They…
