Weekend away together. We'd never stayed at the hotel and it was very nice. Hotel staff including front desk, housekeeping, coffee shoppe, gift shop (most) and security were all very nice. I did try to use comps/points to buy some orange juice in the gift shop but was told they could only be used to buy items which had the Gold Strike name on them, only to witness a lady buying cigarettes with her points as I was leaving.
Casino is fairly nice. Service was horrible though. Many of the beverage servers seemed to be more interested in chatting people up than delivering drinks.
Special kudos to bell staff, valets and Gold's Deli staff.
