Place Station, Las Vegas

the hotel was fine BUT I did not like that the $14.99 mandatory daily resort fee is thrown in with 17 other hotel details. It is not clearly visible unless you know about these type of fees and are looking for it. I know most hotels are charging these rates now but they should be included with the room rate so you know exactly how much you are paying. I feel they are not being forthright.

My room was nice, itself, and clean and good sized. No view to speak of, was right next to some sort of staff break area or something. Internet didn't work. Food at the Buffet was delicious. Make sure you get the coupon for the free breakfast at check in, or you'll have to go back for it. Pain in the neck. Good dinner too! I'd stay here again!

My husband and I stayed the week of July 20th, 2009. We went to Vegas for our 37th wedding anniversary... We DID enjoy an excellent dinner in the steakhouse the first evening we were there, our acutual anniversary, and staff brought us a cheesecake slice with a candle. It was lovely. The salmon and steak were truly excellent. The staff in that restaurant were friendly and just great.. BUT then, it was all downthill. Our newly remodeled tower suite (and it was a lovely room), had a BIG COCKROACH crawling around in the middle of the room at 11 in the morning broad daylight, the next day. The staff said "It was just a little waterbug. They come in all the time from the pool". They moved us to a new room and told us we would be "comped" for the room. However,at check out, a surly employee was not helpful . We had spoken with a manger when we switched rooms, Theresa, who has indicated we would be comped for the room. The hotel clerk would not get the manger for us "She was in a meeting". When we got home, they had charged us for the room on our Visa, (That is ilegal, we did not agree to the charge OR sign for the bill). The coffee shop was horrible service, surley employees...pool was marginal with a lot of dead "waterbugs" . Exercise room was musty. Older hotel in the bag of teh room with economy rooms looks like a slum. Sincerely, I know a cockroach when I see one, and the place is crawling. with them... NEVER will go back. There are SO many nice places in Vegas to stay.., DO NOT STAY HERE! (We managed to have a good time anyway, left the hotel and went to the strip and downtown, other casinos...It was memorable. I have change the name of this place in my mind and our stories to " COCKROACH INN."

I booked hotel for 5nights. But canceled after 1night stay there. I found it is unorganized and Manager is not responding well. Room is not clean and carpet is very very dirty. No Elevator. Room service never response. Very small room. Nobody care about service. No one resolve the problem. I felt sick there. Hidden Charges. I DO NOT LIKE this hotel and never book in future also. Bad Service. No Cleanliness. Never value to Customers. I got better hotel in same price after came out.

After reading several reviews I was a little worried about going to and staying at the Palace Station for a conference May 30- June 5Th 2009. Got there really late and come to find out that the call in center had lost one of the two room reservations. (Staff there stated their call in center sucks). Was given two rooms in the older part of the hotel, forget what exactly they call it. The rooms were average. The bathrooms were clean, but with only a stand up shower no tub. Could have survived the week with no problems but figured lets see what a little complaining does. Was up graded to the tower section of the Palace. Was shocked to walk into the room. Very neat and clean. Big screen TV and soft comfortable bed. Enjoyed the remaining 5 nights there and would go back. The casino is a little dated and small compared to others but found that the Video Poker slots paid well. Tables could be played at $5.00 any time of day. Any one who complains about smoke in the Casino will not be happy, but I live in CT and go to the Mohegan Sun often and the smoke there is the same, so don't blame Palace Station. Ate at a couple of their restaurants. The Chinese restaurant was actually pretty good. The buffet was average and the 24hours restaurant was alright. The Oyster bar which I never ate at has a line whenever it is open so it must be pretty good. There is an Irish Pub with decent atmosphere and the bake goods looked awesome at the bakery but never had any. My first stay in Vegas was at the Orleans which I thought wasn't bad but now after staying at the Palace Station I would have a hard time choosing between the two. It is certainly no Paris but it was a fun time and was pleasantly surprised.

Stayed at this place with a group of friends and got great value for money (something like $30per room for 2 nights, including all surcharges) and we were all (I am 1 of 6 extremely fussy girls) pleased by rooms bearing in my mind how much we paid for the rooms. Service was beyond 3* and the staff at the service desks took their time in explaining where to go and what to do. Having stayed a various hotels on the West Coast, we found the staff at this place the most hlepful, friendly and understanding to our group. On the negative side, the toilet in one of our rooms got blocked and it took a while to get fixed which is why I rated the palace low on cleanliness.

my husband and i stayed at palace station this past weekend, may 2nd-4th. there was a big fight at the mgm and rooms were really high so we decided to stay off the strip. i love the orleans, but palace station was so cheap we gave it a try. we had a tower suite, i wouldn't waste my time in one of the courtyard rooms. the are really cheesey looking, almost motel-ish. the tower suites are cute with a nice flat screen and a bunch of tv channels. we were aware of the additonal fees before we booked the room, but because we usually pay for internet access it didn't bother us. we also thought we would use the shuttle to the strip that was also free, but ended up heading downtown instead. two things that are super important to me in a hotel are the pool and the sports bar, neither of which were to my liking at palace station. the pools are small like an old apartment building would have. the sportsbook has no big screens and the line/wager info is written on wipe boards. i couldn't see jack, and this was during a game 7 of the nba playoffs. on the upside...the food was great at the buffet and room service was extremely delicious. the staff was very nice and if you make an effort to use the coupons they give you, they have a few perks you will enjoy (ie - gifts for points, 2 for 1 drinks, discounted buffet). we would stay again, but only if we were broke...but then again we should be home if we are that broke. ps - we could absolutely tell the place was full of locals.

The Palace Station is a dirty hotel they do not change sheets or even vacuum the floor.My friends had items stolen from the cleaning staff from the room. I would not stay at this rat infested hotel. The staff Manager did nothing to resolve the problem

when I checked in, the front desk charge servic fee. no good!!! never come back!!!

I stayed here for a conference for 5 nights. I was apprensive given that the reviews have usually not been glowing - if they have, it was all based on price considerations.... My apprensions were valid. The rooms in the tower are decent to good. I had a "petite suite" (paid $70.00 a night for it), and think that the room was comparable to a Hilton or a Marriott in a mid-sized city (Kansas City, Providence, etc.). It is not up to the par of a Westin or a large chain hotel in a major city. However, the room space was ample; shower and bathroom were actually rather nice. I believe that if you are going to stay here, you MUST book the Tower. I walked through the "Courtyard" rooms (including the OJ Room (Room 1203)) and they reminded me of a well-worn apartment complex. Avoid them is my advice. The Casino area was dated, not too attractive, and rather unpleasant. The blast of cigarette smoke hits you the second you enter the casino area, and it is pungent. The crowd in the casino borders on ancient in age (I saw one person with an oxygen mask and smoking a cigarette), or tacky (i.e., ripped jeans, biker outfits, and lots of hairspray). To compare, I walked through casinos at Paris, New York New York, Planet Hollywood, and even Circus Circus, and the Palace Station was the least inviting of the lot. The food is, at best, average. I ate at the "Broiler" once and it was nothing to write home about. The Cafe was no better. The $6.99 buffet was truly dreadful. The Oyster bar smelled terrible, and you could smell it from yards away. Any oyster bar should NOT be that pungent. I did not eat at Cabo, the pasta restaurant or the Chinese restaurant. I heard that the pasta restaurant was NOT good. On the other hand, I heard that the Chinese restaurant was actually pretty good given the large number of asian travellers that stay there. Jack's Pub was decent and that is the only place were you would see younger folks. Of the three times I went there and overheard coversation from other guests, I believe that the sentiment was uniform in that Jack's was a comparative oasis in a sea of mediocrity. The hotel staff was pleasant and tried their best. Unfortunately, the hotel just doesn't give off a very good vibe... Again, you get what you pay for.
