    As a local…I’ve been there many times! Usually to meet up with other local friends for the cheep beer and food. Had a friend from out of town stay in a room that was more like a suite with a separate small living room area that had a second bathroom attached to it. Very nice room for the price.

    The pool area is very charming. Definitely a throwback to the 1950's, 1960's, where, as you swim, you get to breathe in car exhaust. I remember swimming in a motel like this in the 1970's, and having whole families stare at us swimmers as they got out of the car. :)

      If they keep their prices unchanged, it'll help them fight off the mega-resorts. If I ran a huge one like Excalibur or Circus Circus, I'd be nervous about this hotel's affordability. And what's with hotels charging "resort fees"?? That's just obscene and greedy.

    Wouldn't choose to stay there, but I love EI's restaurants. Last year I wound up eating at the Village Pub six times in a 5-day visit (stayed at Treasure Island), and was kicking myself that I didn't get to either the BBQ or Front Porch!

    I adore Ellis Island. My first trip to Vegas I visited Ellis every day of the trip, and my last trip to Vegas I went twice. I would be hesitant to stay at Ellis because the rooms are pretty mundane and I like the action and vibe of Fremont street but when I do Vegas I have to visit Ellis. It is a low rollers dream. I love doing afternoons at Ellis, play craps for a few hours and do dinner at Village Pub before kickstarting the night. $5 craps and $5 blackjack are gems of present day Las Vegas. In addition, the staff at Ellis keep their own tips, so they have lots of motivation to provide good service and you know when you reward them for it they get to keep it. The craps dealers at Ellis are fun and charismatic and I've always had good drink service at the tables and machines.

    Love this place. Village Pub restaurant is super affordable and big portions. It is a really short walk to the back of Horseshoe where the tram is so you can get to any place on the strip relatively quickly. Not much of a sportsbook if that is your thing but does have a place to make bets.

We have been to Ellis Island for for and some gambling, which is always well a great value. But based upon your review of the hotel side of things, that part of the house doesn't some like a good value.
    We agree the staff have always been friendly and helpful with great service, that a lot of casinos just don't strive to provide.

    You totally understated how great the BBQ is there! I have been going there ever since way before the BBQ opened and it has been top-notch since day one. FYI, the lodging seems like a motel because it was a Super 8 motel for many years and the casino didn't have its own lodging. It is THE place for karaoke! Unfortunately, that means that you will wait at least 90 minutes in between songs if you are a karaoke veteran. I actually met my wife there 25 years ago!

No-gimmicks blackjack and craps with those minimums sounds so nice. And it's not like I can't go to the strip if I need that nice poker room the bellagio has. If I ever get a chance to take a real vacation again, I will look into this. Thank you for the video.
