“Did a staycation here because I had to work downtown for first Friday. Let’s start with parking, it’s just bad. They have a parking garage that is full and has not even handicap parking available in it. Most of the available parking is next to the parking garage. Check in was easy especially if you start the process online. They have a shorter line for VIP members and also ppl who start online to check in. The rooms was a bit dated but the rooms rate were …”

Don't care for the frosted glass barn door. Bathroom light is very bright in the bedroom when its dark out. Room is very quiet and close to the elevator. Must call housekeeping to have them service the room. We primarily play video poker, and mainly at the main bar (gre…”

“My wife and I stayed here recently after purchasing an all-inclusive package. We normally stay on Fremont when we visit Vegas, but for some reason have never set foot in the Plaza before this stay.
