Question about Bill's...another trip

Mom, 77, has a sister who is 92 and ill in a nursing home. She wants to make a trip June 24-27. At first she was insistant on staying at the Paris but the price is pretty steep for us. I%26#39;ve looked around and found decent reviews about Bill%26#39;s/Barbary. Any reviews?

Looked on forum search but didn%26#39;t see much for this year.

As sad as the trip is I%26#39;m looking forward to going back--and it gives me an excuse to revisit the board more often!

Question about Bill's...another trip

Sorry, sister is in Vegas...thats why the trip.

Question about Bill's...another trip

If you are looking for the lowest price, then try Gold Coast, but its not on the strip.

Bill%26#39;s is good enough and clean enough, if you are not expecting too much luxury.

Also there are low cost hotels at the fremont down town area

We have stayed at Bill%26#39;s many times, when it was Barbary Coast. We love the hotel. Great rooms, great location and it is small which is a bonus for getting to and from your room. You will love it!

Bill%26#39;s is a fantastic little hotel and casino. The rooms are small but plush and well appointed. It%26#39;s the location that is the real winner. Read the reviews for Bill%26#39;s here:

Stayed at Bill%26#39;s last week after reading very positive reviews on this site, it is very central and the cost is reasonable, however whilst the rooms were clean I wouldn%26#39;t say they were plush. In fact I found the hotel very rundown and in desperate need of renovation, the first room we were allocated had tiles coming away from the wall in the bathroom, and the window in the bathroom was cracked. Look at fatwallet.com they often have very good promos for hotels in Vegas, we used one of them to move out of Bill%26#39;s early and go to the Luxor-$90 weekdays and $149 weekends.

I never got to stay while it was Barbary. I don%26#39;t care about the room as long as it is clean and decently maintained. I like the location alot and we do want to stay on the strip.

I found 74.00 room rate at expedia so it seems reasonable enough.

I do wish I could get mom that room at the Paris though...I%26#39;ll just keep checking rates and hoping for the best.

Oh Dusty! Another trip?...that means another trip report! I%26#39;m sorry your aunt is in a nursing home, but glad you can bring your Mom out to visit - wherever that would be - nicer that it%26#39;s in Vegas!

Too bad you can%26#39;t come out for our Meet and Greet on the 12th.

Keep checking those Paris rates, ya never know. At least you%26#39;re traveling on cheaper dates.

Hehehe, thanks Loveland...

If you call and book directly with Bill%26#39;s through their reservation line and you have AAA they will give you a discount. I think it%26#39;s only good weekdays though. Maybe other hotels offer the same discount?

My husband and I be staying at Bill%26#39;s in June for the 2nd time. We have a rate of 54 a night weekdays and 90 on the weekend.

We had suite on our last trip so I%26#39;m not able to say what the standard rooms are like but the suite was surprisingly nice.

We don%26#39;t usually spend alot of time in the room so a basic room is OK for us. We were upgraded for free last trip but it was still The Barbary Coast then so I assume it will not happen again now that it is a Harrahs property. I%26#39;m going to ask anyway!

I feel the casino is a little rough around the edges but in a good way! At least I think.

Very old school feel...almost like it%26#39;s such a dive that it%26#39;s hip...if that makes any sense.

Drink service has always been fantastic.

I like the low minimums at the tables.

The coffee shop does a decent breakfast.

I like that the hotel is small and easy to get from the elevator to your room without have to walk through a huge casino.

I do miss a pool from time to time though. If the rumors are true you may be able to use the pool at The Flamingo or at The Imperial Palace....lot%26#39;s of conflicting answers on that so I %26#39;m not counting on it.

Sorry your trip is sad. :0(

Dusty,

If your mom has any trouble getting around, Bill%26#39;s would be a good choice. It%26#39;s not a big production to get from your room to the front door..can be done in two minutes. I have stayed there a few times and found the rooms to be just fine. I am not too impressed with the rest anymore. Going downhill some.
