“We stayed at the Downtown Grand in June for a friends wedding, and it was a great experience. I'm writing this review because I read WAY too many when we were trying to plan our first trip to Vegas and felt like there was a lot of conflicting info. We wanted a quiet room, it was super important to us so the front desk put us in a room at the back side of the Gallery Tower. If you're able, definitely spend the few extra dollars for the Gallery Tower, it's …”

“Our stay at the Downtown Grand Las Vegas was amazing! We were both celebrating our birthdays and stayed on the 25th floor, where we had a spectacular view overlooking the entire city of Las Vegas. Wesley at the front desk made our experience even better. He was extremely friendly, always smiling, and made us feel genuinely welcome. For me to remember an associate’s name says a lot—he truly made a lasting impression! And when I saw him wearing a Cowboys jer…”

“Wonderful stay at the Downtown Grand. We came to Vegas to see a show at the Sphere and had previously stayed at the Grand in the past. We opted for early check in as our flight arrived in the early morning. Check in was efficient with no long lines. The best part of our stay was sitting at the center bar and be attended to by the absolutely fabulous Pedro. The Grand is lucky to have Pedro. He is friendly and gave us amazing service and conversation. I …”

“Easy, walkable access to Freemont Street and the whole experience there! Front desk check in on a Friday for the Labor Day weekend was fast and efficient. Easy access to elevators. Smoking casino as expected. Same slots as everywhere else. The room had a refrigerator, and a wall view of a mural that was peeling off. Price point was ok. Additional fees upon check-in where over 200 for 3 nights.”

“This place is GREAT. It's perfect if you like to gamble, and if you're looking for solid value. The decor is sorta mid-century modern-Modern with vibrant colors. The room was clean. Every single employee was super friendly in a genuine way. The gambling is great because there are lots of game options, low table minimums, and very generous rewards if you sign up for a players card. And seriously, where else can you get a DELICIOUS brisket sandwich & white c…”
