Plaza Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

The Plaza Hotel and Casino is located on historic Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas — a hike from the strip. Though its location is far from the magic of Las Vegas, it’s the cleanliness that has guests reeling. You may discover a foul odor in the rooms and in the hallway.

You might also find your sleeping arrangements not ideal; the walls are supposedly very thin, and you might have a hard time sleeping if anyone is partying, arguing, or even quietly talking in the room next door.

The parking lot is also a concern among guests. Located adjacent to the Greyhound Terminal, it’s known to get quite dirty. You might even feel a little unsafe in this parking lot — day or night.
