"In the heart of Little Italy, rooms contain a queen bed, TV, and refrigerator. A coinoperated laundry is on the premises, as well as free parking. Great Italian restaurants are just outside."

"Unpretentious 75-room hotel has small, basic rooms (a few of which suffer from street noise) but the Little Italy location is ideal for shopping and dining, and is less than a mile from downtown."

"Not surprisingly, the scene at this hotel is full of young, beautiful people looking for a rocking good time ... needless to say, the Hard Rock delivers."

"Nobu? Check. Rooftop pool and skimpy waitress uniforms? Check. Vegas has arrived in the Gaslamp, replete with Intervention Sundays."
