The front desk staff appear to be well trained and very friendly. There is a sense of true security in the halls. The rooms are clean and well furnished, not tacky at all. The Casino is clean, spacious and because it is new, it does not have the cigarette smoke built into the walls. Yes, it is not convenient for 'Strip' visitors but outstanding for longer stays or visitors to the area. If you know the area and have a car it is about 15 minutes to the strip. Aliante Casino hotel is located right off the 215.
