Though FAR off the strip, this hotel was nicely sized (you didn't get lost), clean and fairly new. It has a bowling alley and Bingo which begins on the odd hours. The 2 for 1 ice cream sundae's are HUGE so don't go unless you're up for a challenge. $2.00 craps was fun but the table was cold every time I played. Dealers mostly knew what they were doing but they didn't come across as overly friendly. Rooms are also HUGE as are the bathrooms. Nicely tiled floors, double sink area is separate from toilet and tub. If I wanted a casino experience without "The Strip" feel, I would check out the Suncoast again. Oh, and because it's in a suburban neighborhood, there are many local restaurants, shops and even grocery stores nearby.

Hotel rooms in Las Vegas during the annual electronics show [CES] can be expensive and/or hard to find. I had been to the Suncoast before and it seemed like a decent place, so I booked it.

It IS in fact located far from the Strip, but a bit closer to downtown. The only life near the place is the Marriott Regent hotel/casino and Angel Park golf course across the street. It is essentially an isolated island. If you don't have a car, you are ---.

The good news about the location is that it is in a quiet, desert setting. Additionally, the clientelle seems to be a notch above what would be expected at some of the cheaper hotels and casinos downtown.

Huge room and spotless! High speed internet for $9.95 a day, but I didn't bother. Comfortable beds with extra pillows. Big bathroom with two sinks and a seperated bath/shower. Minimal TV channels [just the basics], but at a casino they don't want you watching TV in your room anyway!

Buffet was better than average.

Normally I would never recommend a Vegas casino to families with children, but the Suncoast might be an execption. There are 16 theaters, 64-lanes for bowling, and a large arcade and decent snack bar. The only problem is that to get to the movie theaters is that the parents/kids have to walk to there through the casino. That was a bit annoying before many of the movies start at nearly the same time.

I was there the night of the Rose Bowl game and the bars were a zoo. After the game however, things returned to status quo. Great place for a night or two, but if you get 'cabin fever', make sure you have a car!

I was there in July of 2005 for a conference, and would not have bothered to write this review except that I saw that others had ranked it so highly. This place is a pit, way to far from the strip and does not even have poker. I would never stay here again!

Me and my soon to be husband (we got married October 31st in las vegas, loved it. We had no trouble getting the valet parking or the bellhops. The food was great and we had a great view of the mountians. We stayed on the 5th floor. Played the games and loved it. The craps tables started out a $2 mim and the roulett table started out at $.50 mim.
