If this hotel had been located anywhere closer to The Strip I fear it would have been wrecking ball fodder many years ago. Thankfully however, it is located in what we affectionately referred to as Crack City. The Western is indeed located in a very 'average' part of town and I don't imagine most tourists would even know of it's... more

After a day of visiting the palaces of excess, what could be better than a stop at the Western? It's the antithesis of everything that Vegas is today but exactly what Vegas used to be. A little dirty...a little dangerous...and a lot of fun. I played the slots and won continually. Everytime I put money into the machine...within five or... more

I now live in Las Vegas but for the last 10 years I've been on many 1 -2 month long gambling binges here. Because I wanted to stretch my bankroll, I probably stayed at the Western a total of 200 nights in my life. The Western used to have a fixed rate (about $25) which didnt jump up on weekends.... more

At the WESTERN, we are not in Kansas any more Toto, nor are we on the Fremont Street Experience and certainly not on the Strip. Did not stay there but was lured from the Experience by the impossibly bad reviews here at TRIPADVISOR and my possibly misplaced sense of adventure. I admit the large $1.00 draft beer had a hand... more

This place rocks! (That's coming from 6 guys who love to camp, road trip, and not shower for days.) The cleanliness is pretty poor, parking is sketchy, smoke is obnoxious, but the cement walls in the room were clean! We packed 6 guys in the room for $16! Okay, I should also tell you we got a knock on the... more

Celebrating my son's 21st birthday was a blast. We stayed on the strip and made our way downtown for the evening. We liked it downtown and before we left from home I decided to check out all the casino's and hotels on line. Western hotel sounded so cheezy so we decided to check it out for some good laugh's. As... more

I read in other reviews on other websites about how dangerous the Western casino was. I was gambling at the El Cortez and decided to take the dangerous walk to the Western. It was early evening and the walk was about two blocks. Being a native southern californian, I am used to this type of neighborhood. Yes, I did pass... more

I settled for the Western Hotel for lodging only because there was a giant convention in town, and it was also spring break... I made reservations six weeks in advance too. I'm well aware of the casino's notoriety; accepting customers who've been 86'd from all the other casinos in town, so I knew this place wasn't a five-star resort. After... more

I lived In Vegas for 14 years off and on and spent the majority of the last year there living on the streets hanging In and out of the Western. I can tell you first hand that 99 % of the patrons there are either homeless or trying to score drugs. There are many tweekers who love to go In... more
