Honestly, I was nervous based on some of the reviews, but there was no reason for me to be worried at all. Everything from the room to the casino to the food were all perfectly fine. I was in the area for a conference and chose to stay here since I'm a fan of the Boyd properties in Downtown Las Vegas. I booked a standard room but was surprised with an upgrade to a mini suite that had a living area, the bedroom, and the bathroom. I was in the Casino Tower. The hotel does have an odd design with some rooms being interior only - meaning they don't have windows. I think if I were to have received one of those I would have asked for a different room, but luckily I wasn't. The casino isn't huge, but it's big enough to have a few dozen table games and hundreds of slots. There is also bar top video poker where the drinks come fast and furious. There were some reviews that mentioned the smokiness -- and yes, there are lots of folks smoking, so if that bothers you, just a heads up. I walked around the property and they're getting the pool area ready for the summer and that looked like a lot of fun. I would consider bringing my family here for a few nights to take advantage of some of the Valley Forge historical locations as well as hang out by the pool. The food court was open and the food was good. Dunkin' was ready to go in the morning when I needed to grab a cup of coffee before I headed out to my conference. All in all, I was very happy with my stay here and I would return.

The best part of the trip was the helpfulness of the staff. One of the night shift staff went way out of their way to make sure Ifound the correct meeting room so Iwould not be late. Check in was smooth, although I had to do that a bit early to stay within meeting times. The room had no problems, and the food at the meeting was quite good.

We checked in on Friday on the Stardust Hotel side Room 914. For the OES Seminar Weekend. The room was dirty, carpets needed to be cleaned and sanitized. More outlets for devices. Lamps old and painting off at the touch. Television in disrepair. Updates of amenities and services and the rooms definitely need to be updated and cleaned for the price and the money our organization drops twice a year.
The banquet cooks need to fired for the bad food that was served. All in all it was a horrible visit, we will have to see if we will be back.
