Heh, this Regency place cleverly uses "Sands" in their name, but it's really owned by Terrible's. Same local outfit that owns Terrible's Casino in Las Vegas, a cheap off-strip place that attracts really weird, and miserable old clientele, and is known for having one of the worst buffets in Vegas. I've heard Reno's kind of skanky, I'm sure this 22 dollar a night Sands place fits right in.

Don't think I could ever stay at a place called "Terribles" or any off-strip hotel. The only exception being the Palms which is "eye candy" central.

Of course, it could get worse. If you want to read about how the seedy side of life is, read some of the reviews on the low rate Las Vegas hotels on "TripAdvisor". My fucking God.

To wit:

The patriotic theme didn't bother us and we had no expectations as we stay wherever is cheap to spend more having fun. After giving the right of way to two prostitutes, we pulled in at 11pm on a Friday night having booked 2 queens in a non smoking room. We drove around the back to our room relieved it was on the first floor as there are no elevators. We walked in to a heavily perfumed smoking room with one bed. The sheets, pillow covers, comforter, carpet, towels and lamp shade were dingy and stained. The chair by the bathroom was filthy too. There was no microwave as advertised (if you need one) and there were chunks of drywall missing out of the walls. I have never been so disgusted. We went to bed that night and hardly slept. I grabed a shirt out of my bag to rest my head on. Figured it couldn't get worse until the second night. Came back around 12:30 am to find we were locked out of our room. Being an unsafe area I sat in the car and my husband ran up front. I watched a prostitute go into her room three doors down from ours. A few minutes later 4 big black dudes are banging on her door calling her every name in the book. I have never been so scared in my life. I'm not racist in any way and this would make anyone not accustomed to this environment scared. My poor unsuspecting husband had to walk through the commotion. I came to realize one of the guys was her pimp. There are far better places to stay for the same price and I would bet money any positive reviews are from employees. Our stay was so stressful and we stayed because of their strict no refund policy which is a trap. They know their place is the pits. I would suggest wild wild west down the road or freemont street if you can afford $10 more a night. We wound up booking another night elsewhere and staying an extra night to make up for it.


And this:

The funny thing was that I was trying to reserve a room at the Hampton Inn. But because of my indecisiveness the rate at the Hampton Inn more than doubled and so this was the only other option left.

I have never seen so much activity in a hotel parking lot. Car stereos blaring hiphop music, people running, people yelling. It was unreal. I thought the only natural thing to happen next was for the cops to arrive.

The room was absolutely disgusting. The nonsmoking room reaked of cigarettes. The carpet and the sheets were soiled. Towels were not white but rather had a tint of yellow or light brown. There were cigarette burns on the pillowcase and along the edges of the bathroom sink. It was hard to sleep with all the bass booming through the paper thin walls.

Take it from me. Please don't stay here. You'll be glad you didn't.

If it's any consolation, every room I've stayed in in Vegas smells like cigarette smoke. That said, this place sounds like a real hell hole. Especially when you consider for $10 more a night you can stay at places on The Strip that are much more secure.

I used to drive by it on my way to the airport and think the huge "TERRIBLE'S" sign was sorta funny, so I stopped in a few years ago. It's actually the owner's nickname (Terrible), but it's not very good marketing when you have big signs reading "TERRIBLE'S BUFFET" and "TERRIBLE'S ENTERTAINMENT".

Try to find reviews of The Western Casino. It's by far the scariest and mist depressing casino I've been to out there, or anywhere. I really felt like it was the end of the road.

As reported by the Associated Press: ``On a stretch of despair that tourists in Las Vegas seldom see, the Western Hotel-Casino stands out as a beacon for the broke and nearly broken.

"With their crumpled dollars and gloomy gait, they stumble in off Fremont Street through the wide, doorless entrance, beckoned by the sounds of penny slot machines and cheap table games.






I don't understand why poor, broke people would even venture out to Las Vegas. If you don't have money to blow, don't go to a gambling and tourist city like Vegas. It would be like a poor person saving up all his money just to fly to Dubai City and then sleep on the streets.

Here's a classy review:

My wife and I were going to stay here for the night, on our way to my brother's house. It took the rude woman at the desk several minutes to notice us, and looked like she had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what she was doing. We got to our room, and it felt, sounded, and smelled like a thousand rats were living in the walls and floor. The sheets were stained with bodily waste and cigarette burns, and whether you believe me or not, I even found a pistol under the bed. VERY SEEDY! Due to the horrible state of the bed, (bedbugs and loose springs), I was up until midnight, so I looked out the window, and while I am not sure, I could have sworn I saw people making drug deals in the parking lot! Like I said, VERY SEEDY. Give it a miss.

The hotel part is closed but the casino is still open. The property is supposed to be refurbished into a nice new place at some point.

Someone told me that the front desk of the hotel used to make you leave a dollar deposit for the room key, and if you didn't bring the key back, they'd keep your dollar. Is that true? That always made me laugh.

I think a lot of them don't start out that way. You have people who failed at being a McDonald's manager in Lincoln, NE who try for a second chance in Vegas hoping they'll hit it big as a blackjack dealer. A heroin or gambling addiction later, they are hanging out at the Western Hotel-Casino.

lol, that's a funny description. and yeah, most of those people aren't there on vacation. last summer, some crummy looking cab driver was telling me how he was studying some video that was going to turn him into an expert at craps. he'd convinced himself it would be easy to make money by gambling, like it was some sort of career-move. it's fucked up people like that who congregate in the slummy gambling halls.

Fortunately, I've never had that problem (I've stayed at a military family dominated Super 8 Condo (I at least think it was a Super 8, but it's now called "Manor Suites"), the Mandalay Bay, and the Luxor. My family also really liked the Grand View).

As for smelly joints, we spent the night in a first level room up in Old Lyme, CT that smelled like stale beer. We had no spray with is, so I took a few bounce sheets, and secured them over the A/C vent with my boots. It helped a lot.
