The remodel was good, the place was clean and freshened up. The casino and baby sportsboook were lame. The food in the cafe was terrible and the staff throughout the hotel were worse.

Pros (+) Had Mel's for dinner and it was great
Cons (-) Everything was good we didn't have any complaint
Pros (+) Nice room and fast check-in.
Pros (+) The tv was nice and the shower had amazing pressure.
Cons (-) It could've been cleaned better.
Pros (+) Clean and comfortable
Cons (-) Hospitality of front desk
Pros (+) Location was great. Bed very comfortable. Nice friendly casino staff. Mexican restaurant was great!
Cons (-) All hotels, including The Sands, need to get rid of the fraudulent 'resort fee' which is just another way to collect money but make the room look cheap in a search engine!
Pros (+) Staff and price was good
Cons (-) When I walked in to hotel to check in there was a dead body on the floor and they did a very poor job of covering it up they left a arm hanging out of the sheet. I had night mares all night. The room was very old and ac didn’t work very well.
Pros (+) Good price.
Cons (-) Cleaner room.
Pros (+) The bed was so comfortable and the room was well stocked and very clean.
Cons (-) The was a lot of construction going on, from the outside it looked shabby, but we were pleasantly surprised once inside
Cons (-) Booked 3 nights in a non-smoking room. Entire hotel reeked of smoke, even in the room, so we departed after 1 night for greener pastures. Room was spacious but overall the room was threadbare, with worn, scuffed furniture and overall just not very nice. Not recommended.
