Avoid the Aruba hotel. It was by far the worst hotel experience I've had. I can't properly describe everything that was bad about this place, but here's an attempt. - There were knife holes in my dingy, musty smelling bedspread. I couldn't help but think that somebody had died in my bed. - The entire room is tile floor. The... more

Back when Las Vegas was for Rat Pack-esque sleazeballs, and I mean that in a loving way, good, clean cheap motels lined the strip, like someone had mushed Park Place with Baltic Avenue together on one street. Those days are dead and gone, and Las Vegas suffers for it, frankly. The Aruba Hotel & Spa is one of the few... more

For 3 nights at less than $275, I was pleasantly surprised. Hotel was clean, food was decent, service was good. Would definitely stay there again. Easy access to airport, bus, and the strip. If you are looking to do Vegas on a budget, this is the place. more

I stayed in the Aruba hotel last weekend on my trip to Vegas. I really wish I would have invested more and stayed in a hotel closer to the strip. If you choose to walk, it's definitely at least a half-hour hike! The hotel itself was clean BUT the area where it is located (between Strip and Downtown) was terrible!... more

We stayed at the Aruba Las Vegas Saturday night, March 11, 2006. The floors were tiled, comforter and curtains looked new and there was a coffee pot. The walls are very thin, sounded like furniture being moved in the room above us and loud talking, music and doors closing loudly around us. The heat did not work. The front desk... more

This was the worst hotel experience that I have ever had in Vegas or anywhere else. I was deceived into believing that it was a nice HOTEL (not a motel) based on the description and the pictures, but believe me, it was not! The light fixtures needed bulbs, and there was no heat available in the room. I felt completely... more

Four of us stayed at the Aruba (formerly the Thunderbird) on a Saturday night in January when other hotels were just too pricey or unavailable because of conventions under way. We paid $70 for each room and the hotel was completely full. On the plus side, the rooms were clean, the tile floor there was nice, and the person on... more

I booked into the Aruba because I was in Vegas for New Year's eve and room availability was so low everywhere else. This hotel is more in the style of a motel, but I was pleasantly surprised at its quality. When we arrived, the member of staff at reception couldn't have been more friendly or helpful - he advised us... more

When we first arrived, it didn't look that bad. The room seemed ok but the bathroom door wouldn't close and the bed wasn't sturdy. The cable wasn't that great and we asked for extra towels and never got them. Also, there was some club event they were hosting and we got back to the hotel at 3am and it was... more
