Best Western Plus Casino Royale

I have been coming to Vegas for years and have always stopped by the Casino Royal because of it’s cheap drinks and low min tables. They have renovated the hotel and it is A okay. I had a room on the 1^st floor which for me was ideal. The room was nice, brand new, mini bar, mini kitchen, nice sized room. NO COMPLAINTS.
The casino is also getting a makeover so there were a lot less tables, especially blackjack but the bar is still there w/​their cheap drinks.
It’s right next to Harrahs and Palazzo, great location. Staff was friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

FUN place to stay for the frugal types.
Has everything you need — workout room, PCs/​printer workstations, fridge in rooms, K-​cup coffee maker, big TV, CLEAN. Shower has full/​strong water (some places are like a squirt gun).
$ 1 beers and cheap other drinks in the Casino — Subway, etc. Easy walk to Lync and that big Ferris wheel ride, Planet Hollywood etc.
One thing you will notice in a place like this or PH — LOTS of smiles. The higher scale places like Aria and Cosmo — just walk around the casinos — it is like there is a funeral going on — sad, depressed faces. I have the financial means to stay at those places, but I’ll pass.
I’d rather be saving money and be around friendly and FUN people thank you very much.

Casino Royale!!! This is the last hole in the wall gambling hall on the strip! I love dice. Aside from sports betting, craps is my definite game of choice! So 100x times odds is amazing! The standard is 3x 4x 5x at 99.9% of the tables on the strip so being able to put 100x times odds behind for your bet is usually unheard of! $ 5 minimum ! $ 3 during the week makes this a place a gem right in the middle of the strip. The White Castle burger which Harold and Kumar made famous also sits right in the casino. Don’t expect much on décor, it’s anything but fancy, but this is the spot if you love to roll dice!!!. Good luck Unilocalers!

Never stayed in the hotel, but it’s the funnest hole in the wall casino on the strip! We make it a point to go there every visit!

Good and clean! No hairs anywhere :)
Very comfortable beds, pillow top. Close to everything, fat Tuesdays right downstairs.

Good budget hotel with lots and lots of reasonable priced eating options (Vegas has gotten pretty pricey for hotel restaurants). We have two rooms booked — both are very clean & nice looking. The room my parents are in was a bit noisy at night (closer to the casino), but ours further down the hall was quite.
The casino is a bit small, but Harrahs next door is pretty big. We went across the street to Mirage to gamble a bit, but didn’t like it — too warm and the dealers had no personality — Harrahs was way better with AC and friendly dealers. We did stay at Mirage a few years ago but it took forever to get from our rooms to the casino. Not here — we are in the casino in no time.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Soooo my party of 6 got stuck in the elevator with someone else in the hotel but it was cool cause I read all the reviews of this possibly happening. We were in there all of 5 — 7 min. You’re in Vegas so you joke about it and make new freinds. We were all really calm weirdly. We then read a sign no more than 4 in elevator. All good no biggie, again cause I read some past reviews where one of two elevators may not work.
Hubby lost his job in finance 2 years ago, just got a new job a month ago. We didn’t want to NOT go to Vegas for our annual trip so we had to crunch some numbers. We have gone every year for the past 5 years having stayed at the Mirage and Tropicana. Hubby was bummed at first about Royale but he said he will stay here again at the end of the trip. Yes u dont go on vaca to sleep but you still want a nice room. LOVED no resort fee. Folks were VERY nice. I forgot the lady that checked me in but I had spoken to her a few times before checking in and she rememered me, Ha. My «view» was facing Mickie Dees on the 4^th floor. Room was SUPER clean. LOVED being right ther near Walgreens. You can get to your room in no time. I mean freakin seconds!!! I mean its so dang close to strip its insane!!! Fat Tuesdays in your hotel… the door leads right inside the hotel. Yes you have to walk thorough the casino once you park your car but its a really quick walk. I arrived at midnight and of course i was the only one checking in so it was quick. Wifi was AMAZING! We had a laptop and 2 iphones. Never used the pool. Garbage cans are small in the hallway so since we dont let houskeeping in at all on any vaca we had to leave our garbage in a bag by the cans for the next shift of young ladies. Others were doing it too. Never used the pool. I mean I was bummed abut my husband losing his job and staying here but I was impressed. Missed the strip view of the Mirage but for 7 nights total for me room was $ 544!!! and only a hold of 150!!! and no freakin resort feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Was here July 14^th — 20^th
You get a fridge and coffee though i dont drink coffee. dryer, iron and ironing board. plugs on all the lamps too

Good location and no resort fee!
Seriously this hotel managed to squeeze itself in the center of everything. Venetian, Linq, Harrah’s and Caesars Palace and countless food choices. If you take monorail, there is even a station inside Harrah’s which is just next door. Hotel Parkings are behind the building, and you can avoid driving into the crowded Las Vegas Blvd by using Koval Ln and follow direction to Harrah’s parking lots to get to the hotel. The hotel is just few storeys tall which means you don’t have to walk whole lots to get to your room from the Strip. You can even avoid walking through the casino sections by taking the rooms entrance just in front of Ben & Jerry. It probably took us 20 steps from the Strip walkway to our hotel door! Another big plus point is, they don’t charge nightly for Resort Fee here, which saved us about 25 dollars/​night! The room size is slightly small but enough to have a king sized bed and a sofa. They even provide Keurig Coffee Machine. There is a window facing the side isolated road, so you get sunlight in without any noise.
On the negative side, the fridge is not that cold, they have only one sink in the bathroom and the hot and cold setting of the shower needs some getting used to.
Overall, this hotel is a good find. I will totally stay here again next time.

Out of the flashy casinos on the Strip, this is the most run down, bare bones, threadbare casino on the strip. There’s no flash, no glitz, no glamour to this place.
Yes, they did have some of the lowest minimum bets I’d seen on the table games for the prime time for betting, but it was just kinda gritty and grimy.
They offer a rebate on your first $ 20 lost on slots here. I wasn’t impressed. They explained it to me, where you have to get their player’s card, and it has to track you losing $ 20, then they’ll give you $ 20 in free slots credits. I lost $ 20, and waited, and waited and waited for the machine to refund my $ 20. I went to the front desk (twice) to get this straightened out. It ended up taking about half an hour to finally get it to credit my $ 20 back, which I lost almost instantly.
In their favor, they do have $ 1 beers (Michelob and Michelob Ultra). They had some slots that I didn’t see anywhere else, which were fun. Usually, you see the same slots everywhere.
The cocktail waitresses seemed a little bored and tired of being there. They didn’t have any enthusiasm, and I didn’t get a single drink out of them.
There’s no theme to this place! It’s just kind of an ugly casino. I never thought I’d gamble in a Best Western.
I won’t be back.

Hotel–
I have stayed at Casino Royale on all my Vegas trips. For the location, the price is excellent. Right next to Venetian (poker!), Mirage, Harrah’s and the Linq. Only a 15min walk to the Bellagio fountains.
I appreciate not having to traverse through a giant casino to get on the strip and back to my room. The customer service at the front desk is usually good. Even when I stagger in at 2am needing a replacement key for the second time after losing it or locking myself out. The rooms are really comfortable and clean. Nothing super fancy. But not run down and out dated like some similar priced hotels on the strip. And no resort fee! The pool is nothing special. I’ve used the workout room and its decent for what it is. There are lots of food options nearby as well.
Casino–
No this isn’t Aria. But it’s certainly fun, and you don’t have to worry about losing your life’s saving with the low limits. The service from the waitstaff, cashiers, and bartenders is excellent. And $ 4 Jameson/​Coke? Hell yes. And don’t forget the foot long hot dog. Tradition to get one of those each time ;)

An old school Vegas casino, classic! Plenty of $ 5 tables & what is best is that they have $ 5 craps all day, every day! The dealers have a fantastic sense of humor & can make anyone smile, even if you just lost $ 60… It is in the center of the strip.
Other casinos with $ 5 tables:
–The Linq (Friday AM)
–Bally’s (Friday AM)
–Excaliber
–Harrah’s (Sunday PM)

When visitors are in town, they drag me here so they can play Blackjack Switch. Though I must admit, I have purchased a few of the $ 1 Michelobs and the $ 1 margaritas with no dragging involved!
The casino is a bit old school by design, small and is usually super crowded. Table games seem to be especially popular here.
It’s also known for casino Fun Books and on-​going slot promotions. Lots of fast food places are in the back, and a new addition up front is White Castle. The location is close to many other casinos (Flamingo, The Linq, Caesars) so you can fit in a visit here as well as a few others in a short amount of time!

Not a bad place to stay. Great location, decent pricing. The entrance is slightly hard to get to, and the casino is kind of small, but can’t really complain. I would definitely consider staying here again.

This is a tricky one to review. I would be more inclined to give a 3.5 star rating, however I did round up on this occasion.
For the price & being right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, this place is awesome value. When we first arrived, trying to find the parking for the hotel was a bit of a mission. Please ensure you get proper directions from hotel staff if you plan to park your car here if you are not flying in — it can be tricky and needs to be rectified quickly with proper signage.
Checkin was fairly easy within the main front part of the casino. Be careful with your door key cards — we had to get our cards reprogrammed three times which was a little frustrating.
The room was nice and clean, and surprisingly very quiet compared to the close proximity to the strip.
The air conditioning was so annoying as it was very loud throughout the night. It seemed as though we kept on running out of hot water when having showers at particular times. Also, the taste of the tap water when brushing teeth was absolutely filthy — hotel needs to get this sorted.
All in all, it was good value & for the few minor problems we encountered, would most likely give these guys another go.

Casino Royale is exactly what I want out of my Las Vegas experience.
I can’t suggest staying at the hotel because they don’t have a pool but I recommend staying close by. The Casino is a outstanding. It’s a shady, smoke filled throw back to old Vegas right down to the mirrored ceiling tiles.
Full of off-​beat weirdos and 3^rd rate hookers you can’t go wrong with $ 1 Michelobs, $ 5 Blackjack & White Castle Burgers. Perfect for the person who couldn’t give a crap about clubs, bottle service, DJs and other such trash.
I aspire to one day replace the bartender who works the $ 1 beer station.

This 5 rating is for the hotel. I am basing this rating on the VALUE I got for the price I paid. I am comparing this to the Venetian, which we stayed at for 3 nights before we checked into this hotel. Obviously, the two are very different. But, the value I got at the Best Western exceeded that which I got at the Venetian.
Here is the bottom line — The casino is small and dingy. You would never know that behind it is a decent hotel that is right in the middle of all the strip action.
The rooms are small and very clean. The beds are comfortable — very comfortable. There is a refrigerator, coffee maker, and a safe in the rooms. There is a decent TV with a decent amount of channels. The housekeeping staff is efficient.
The fitness center, though small, is well-​equipped. They have an elliptical machine, a treadmill, and two bikes. There is also a weight machine. They have free towels and bottled water.
The pool area is clean. Not a good view, but good enough for the price.
Above all, the location is awesome. This little hotel lies between the Venetian and Harrah’s. We were able to walk and take the tram everywhere we needed to go.
I recommend this place to anyone that wants a clean, inexpensive room on the strip. If you want glamour and glitz in a hotel, you should probably go elsewhere. If you want good value so you can use the rest of your money for entertainment, this hotel is a great choice.

This review is for the casino only since I stayed at another hotel close by. Too close by to be honest.
Casino Royale is a Vegas dinosaur. It’s how a large chunk of the strip once was with cheap tables and cheap drinks. Now all the others have either disappeared, upgraded or transformed into something bigger, «better» and flashy. For me the Vegas experience is not nightclubs and martini glasses. I prefer a cheap drink, a smoky casino, affordable gambling, ancient cocktail waitresses and watching the sunrise every morning. For these reasons Casino Royale fits the bill.
On the other hand, I’d never stay at the hotel connected to this joint. Just because I adore the grit and grime of a crappy Vegas casino like this one, doesn’t mean I want to sleep in it. Stay within a stones throw, you’re good to go and I can assure you that they’ll take your money just like any other place in town — it may just take a bit longer.

Went to their bar only! The martinis (any mix) are worth $ 1.50! Be generous on tips! ;)
Bartenders are quite cool and friendly. The casino by itself is nice and quite big (I got lost somehow :/)!

Best place to play craps in Vegas that I found.
I don’t think I left the table for 2 hours or so. The cocktail waitress never stopped and the dealers were great!

Perfect cost-​benefit relation. The hotel has been recently renovated and our room was nicely painted with new furniture. We didn’t had a view of the strip but it was pretty silent at night.
The only «bad» things were the fridge that made a lot of noise and the fact that our room wasn’t cleaned until the afternoon.
The Casino isn’t the best one, although it has some cheap tables.

Wow. This listing was tough to find here on Unilocal simply because most of us know this simply as Casino Royale.
Best Western Plus? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
I’ve visited Casino Royale on a regular basis for years and applaud the owners for not selling the property to someone who would tear it down in favor of something new and modern.
We all have a favorite «dive bar» in our hometown, so I hope it is fair to say that Casino Royale works just fine as the «dive bar and casino» of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Michelob and Michelob Light bottles have run only $ 1 forever and if you’re fortunate to get one of the coveted spots at a table game, the waitresses really hustle and keep modest glasses of beer, wine or spirits coming your way as fast as you can drink them.
Unfortunately for me, the last couple times I’ve ventured in here there was no seat for me to play my favorite table game: Blackjack Switch. (If you haven’t heard of it, check it out and you’ll never prefer regular blackjack again)
Part of this is the reputation and popularity of the game, but Casino Royale has to take responsibility as well since two tables clearly marked for play were not in use.
Sorry, but I’m not going to stand around very long waiting to gamble my money when let’s just say there are a few other options in the surrounding area to do so.
And, as I chatted with another guy also waiting for a seat to play, Blackjack Switch is not nearly the «exclusive» that it used to be at Casino Royale. Over the past couple years, I’ve seen this game offered at more and more casinos in the area. As a matter of fact, later this same night I walked past it at Aria (albeit at a higher minimum bet).
The Casino Royale will always get my attention for those cheap bottles of beer and for $ 5 Blackjack Switch, but I do wish they would maximize more of their tables when people are clearly waiting to play that particular game.
