SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 Awesome Butter smooth checkin process; professional, efficient & down to earth. The (jungle) theme is something circus & public spaces were fantastic: impeccably clean, immersive, & an expert use of color psychology -- the best of all BOYD gaming locations IMO. MVP employees: Brittany ROOM (Deluxe King) -- 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4GuhmuJo56Wrdk Pictures online are lifeless & uninspired... But in-person: vibrant, clean, & comfortably contemporary! Very impressed by house keeping performing deep cleanings during the work week👏. Our view was great for the extra light, but obstructed by bird poop & bugs 🫤. Windows simply aren't washed regularly enough. The dedicated workspace was perfect for work & extra tabletop space. BED -- 👍 great Linens & mattress were in peak condition. Pillow build was spectacular. This was some of my best sleep in Las Vegas. BATH -- 👍 great Huge tub, huge vanity, & powerful water pressure! This should be the baseline for Vegas hotel shower plumbing IMO. Cons: Towels were extremely rough & worn... TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- 👍 Good This TV was abhorrent.. everything from the programming, to the remote. It's a fragile & draconian TV solution. But there's plenty to do in this family-friendly megaplex of a casino thx to: A movie theatre, pool, bowling hall, & slots galore! WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 bad Verizon service was super strong - Full bars 5G-uw!! WiFi was the status quo Boyd gaming configuration: weak, unencrypted, & overpriced. --Performance-- Video streaming - Good Online gaming - great Video chatting - great --Nerd Stats-- 2-5 Mbps download 4-18 Mbps upload 0% packet loss 14 ms latency 3 ms jitter FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 great Not DoorDash friendly (very difficult in fact). Food courts offer a modest variety of convenience: Subway, McDonald's, Dunkin donuts, etc. Food service was much more personable here than at the Gold Coast casino. in-room: ❌ microwave ✅ mini-fridge (small) ❌ coffee ❌ tea ❌ wet-bar ❌ mini-bar NOISE -- 👎 Awful Thin walls, "Your worst nightmare, thin". We could hear bed frames moving, TVs, & conversations (talking-volume) in other units. LOCATION -- 👍 I felt safe, in general & as a minority here. Walmart across the street + other shopping centers in walking distance. Valet parking is not managed well; so chaotic and congested at random times. Tighten up! RECOMMENDATION & RATING Final price: $113.58/night Was it worth it: yes Best part: food & drink The first Boyd Gaming hotel I actually felt comfortable in, slept like a baby, & wanted to book again. Despite repulsive WiFi performance. Please tip the house keepers, they go above & beyond! 4.5/5 ⭐️ @mrstaycation
