We stayed one night at the Fiesta Henderson last month. After reading the other reviews we were somewhat reluctant to stay there, especially as the rooms are priced fairly cheap ($40 during the week and $110 or so on the weekends). But we decided to give it a try as it was last minute trip and rooms were hard to come by. Overall we found that we still like the casino, but were glad to have only stayed for one night and will not stay there again.
Front desk. Although there was no line, check-in still took over 20 minutes with the clerk spending a lot of time working on the computer (maybe he was playing video poker on it?)
Rooms. We had a run-of-the-mill room on the 2nd floor and found it to be very old and sorely needing updating, it was pretty much like a Motel 6 room. The bathrooms were the same and, as other reviewers have mentioned, the shower head is uncomfortably low.
Casino. We tend to gravitate towards the penny machines and found them to pay fairly well: no big wins, but no big losses. Cocktail service was great and the overall atmosphere of the casino was a lot of fun with good drink specials also available at the bar.
Food. For dinner we tried the Mexican restaurant Amigos and found the service to be OK, but the food to be very bland (Taco Bell would have been better) – we advise skipping it as Vegas offers a ton of good Mexican restaurants. For breakfast we ate in the coffee shop, Baja Beach Café and had the special (2 pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 eggs for about $3) it was quite good as the service was as well, definitely recommend it!
Location. Being just off the highway in Henderson means that is a place you want to have a rental car!
Bottom line: a good casino to visit, but if you’re looking for cheap rooms off the Strip, check out Sam’s Town or Boulder Station instead.
