The light wood built-ins help lighten up the room (don’t be fooled by my poor quality photos).
That’s about all I hope for in a downtown hotel. It’s not much of a journey if you’re used to the sometimes arduous treks at Strip properties, but you may want to consider DTG’s Casino Tower if mobility is an issue. My room was in the Grand Tower, which requires a short trip across the second-floor walkway. I wasn’t anticipating much of a line at 10pm. $64 after adding the resort fee.Ĭheck-in was a breeze. To my surprise, the Downtown Grand price was competitive and I got my Friday night room for $42. Concerned that our Strip-centric stay would limit my downtown gambling opportunities, I was looking for a decent rate anywhere downtown and was ready to stay at virtually any budget “resort” in the area. I got into Vegas the night before a large bachelor party extravaganza was set to begin on the Strip.
That assumption was confirmed on my recent trip.
While I haven’t stayed in every hotel downtown, I assumed that, since its opening, Downtown Grand likely had the best standard room in the Fremont area.
