I cannot say enough good things about this hotel, it is opposite the Bellagio & next door to Flamingos, literally smack bang in the middle of the strip.
The rooms were huge,clean with a massive plasma in each of them, the decor is old style vegas,red velvet everywhere, real saloon style!
The Victorian Room downstairs had fantastic food & get this, 99c margarita's all day everyday!
We had the Bellagio water show view from our bathroom window which was lovely & all hotel staff were great.
I had my 3 yr old with me & they were very strict about me being anywhere near the gaming area with him which is fine.
Probably not the best hotel for little kiddies, we went to Adventure Dome in Circus Circus for him, but I think Vegas is definetly more for adults, so wherever I would have stayed would have been the same.

I've stayed at 18 hotels in Las Vegas, and this one is nice, but #13 in town? That seems high.
The staff has to be the friendliest and most helpful in town, however. Management has to be commended for bringing such a wonderful group together.
What makes this place special is it's location. It's right where you want to be, and cheap compared to it's neighbors, although like other hotels in the heart of the strip, they charge extra for more than 2 people in a room, which is a joke.
You get free access to the fantastic pool next door at the Flamingo, although it's not convenient to get there.
Very limited food options. One steakhouse, but also a $2 hot dog stand. Hard to find a good deal like that on the strip.
My family has stayed in various places in Vegas, and my kids didn't like it here, because everywhere else in town is so over the top. But the rooms are very nice, the staff is great, and the location can't be beat.

Selected Bills hotel after reading reviews on trip advisor and was not disappointed.Used the airport shuttle bus $6.50 and from leaving shuttle to entering room took 5 minutes. receptionist very helpful and friendly. Room was huge with view of Bellagio fountains and Eiffle tower.Bills is centrally placed on the strip with MGM 30 minutes comfortable stroll to the left and Treasure Island the same to the right.The in house casino is not large by other hotel standards but is very easy to wander through , the strip being 2 minutes from the hotel elevators - very handy .No safe in the room but a safety deposit facility in the cashier's cage in the casino .ALL staff were very helpful and friendly throughout  my visit .During my trip I visited all the hotels and while most were more modern , they were too large for comfort, taking 10 mins or so to get from their reception to the strip . - give me Bills any day.Use the Duece bus for travelling further along the strip to Las vegas outlets , stratosphere and downtown. $3 a single trip or $7 for a 24 hour pass.Over 55's get a discounted entry and ride at the Stratosphere $16.50 for entry and 1 ride.Most hotels have buffet breakfasts around $16 and are very similar although each hotel has a different theme - I liked the Paris best , themed as street cafes , very atmospheric.If interested in the Gun store, have a buffet breakfast at MGM , then cross the road to the Tropicana and catch the bus 102 which drops you off ouside - $4 all day pass , better than $15 taxi each way  - package deal was $99 for  pistols, 25 shots and 2 sub machine guns , 3 magazines  with a free T shirt-- big boys toys but well worth it.Ths shopping is overwhelming and different in each hotel .Within 20 mins walk either way along the strip is a Walgreens store , useful for everday items, pop, chocolate etc. - also a Buirger King and Dennys  15 mins towards Treasure Island.Don't miss the free slot machines, $1 beers and marguaritas at the Imperial Palace to the left  along the strip. Overall a fabulous 1st time visit centered on Bills gambling Hall. I will definitely come back to Las Vegas and will certainly stay at Bills again.

We have been staying there every summer for several years and wouldn't stay anywhere else. View from our room on 4th floor was of Eiffel Tower and Bellegio Fountains and strip. It is just 3 minutes from room to strip and they have shuttles to go to places off strip. Staff was great and gambling even greater. We ate almost all meals at the Victorian Room and loved all of them. It is everything we want plus very reasonable price and very clean. We also enjoed Big Elvis in the evenings.
