SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 Awesome
Butter smooth checkin process; professional, efficient & down to earth.
The (jungle) theme is something circus & public spaces were fantastic: impeccably clean, immersive, & an expert use of color psychology -- the best of all BOYD gaming locations IMO.
MVP employees: Brittany
ROOM (deluxe king) -- 👍
Pictures online are lifeless & uninspired... But in-person: vibrant, clean, & comfortably contemporary!
Very impressed by house keeping performing deep cleanings during the work week👏.
Our view was great for the extra light, but obstructed by bird poop & bugs 🫤. Windows simply aren't washed regularly enough.
The dedicated workspace was perfect for work & extra tabletop space.
BED -- 👍 great
Linens & mattress were in peak condition.
Pillow build was spectacular.
This was some of my best sleep in Las Vegas.
BATH -- 👍 great
Huge tub, huge vanity, & powerful water pressure! This should be the baseline for Vegas hotel shower plumbing IMO.
Cons: Towels were extremely rough & worn...
TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- 👍 Good
This TV was abhorrent.. everything from the programming, to the remote. It's a fragile & draconian TV solution.
But there's plenty to do in this family-friendly megaplex of a casino thx to:
A movie theatre, swimming pool, bowling alley, & slots galore!
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 bad
Verizon service was super strong - Full bars 5G-uw!!
WiFi was the status quo Boyd gaming configuration: weak, unencrypted, & overpriced.
--Performance--
Video streaming - Good
Online gaming - great
Video chatting - great
--Nerd Stats--
2-5 Mbps download
4-18 Mbps upload
0% packet loss
14 ms latency
3 ms jitter
FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 great
Not DoorDash friendly (very difficult in fact).
Food courts offer a modest variety of convenience: Subway, McDonald's, Dunkin donuts, etc.
Food service was much more personable here than at the Gold Coast casino.
in-room:
❌ microwave
✅ mini-fridge (small)
❌ coffee
❌ tea
❌ wet-bar
❌ mini-bar
NOISE -- 👎 Awful
Thin walls, "Your worst nightmare, thin".
We could hear bed frames moving, TVs, & conversations (talking-volume) in other units.
LOCATION -- 👍 I felt safe, in general & as a minority here.
Walmart across the street + other shopping centers in walking distance.
Valet parking is not managed well; so chaotic and congested at random times. Tighten up!
RECOMMENDATION & RATING
Final price: $113.58/night
Was it worth it: yes
Best part:
The first Boyd Gaming hotel I actually felt comfortable in, slept like a baby, & wanted to book again. Despite repulsive WiFi performance.
Please tip the house keepers, they go above & beyond!
4.5/5 ⭐️
