Arizona Charlie’s Boulder

I went with a buddy and thought it would suck but just wanted a place to sleep that’s CHEAP. Not bad place at all. Everything was clean. I had a car so didnt mind the drive to attractions and even found stuff on drive I would of never seen if I had stayed on strip. Basically a motel 8. Only disappointment was 11 dollars for wifi per day. My buddy had a ton of data and used his phone as a hot spot so didn’t need to. If you just need a place to sleep perfect.

What a nasty place. First thing I noticed was the nasty air when I got off the elevator.(I am healthy and have no breathing problems… I have been congested for three hours. I am not asthmatic or have any bronchial diseases… I hope I don’t get it now!) Too much stale cigarette air. My wife was afraid to eat anything in the buffet. The gravy was ‘crusty’ from sitting too long. The salad dressing had a ‘skin’ (like dried milk or latex paint). Reminded me of an old run down retirement home. If this were the first impression someone got of VEGAS… it would be the last. Truly, just a nasty place.

Horrible hotel. Can hear every noise from adjacent rooms. Carpet had waves in it where it appeared it was coming unglued. No free wi-​fi. Hotel registration staff were rude and unfriendly, as was most of the casino’s entire staff that we came into contact with. They placed us on the entire opposite side of the hotel from the casino. If you want to leave your room to go to the incredibly dated casino, you must safely traverse the parking lot filled with tweakers/​homeless people. There is a homeless group that lives on the backside of the hotel. Not worth your time or safety to stay here.

This is a disgusting hotel worst experience. They don’t clean the rooms at all, based on the huge blood stain we found on the bed. Unfortunately we had kids with us that day and they had to be exposed to this filthy, unsanitary room.
When the hotel personal was notified they just offer to switch our room and the room they had given us was a room that smelled like cigarette smoke. After seeing that room and returning to our room, that I had not seen because I was out getting some food, we decided to go back to the front desk. We had taken our food back to the car a soon as my cousin mention the situation he had found in the room and before checking any of the rooms out (unfortunately we would end up eating cold food).
We had to wait over 20 minutes because the lady was on break and no one was there to attend the front desk. Not only did she refuse to give us back our money but didn’t seem to believe us about the filthy room. She must have heard the conversation I was having with my cousins wife, about speaking to the corporate office if the lady didn’t help us. My cousin was the one speaking to her and she had offer to give us back half the money and put us in the room she had given us, since they don’t offer refunds.
She was saying that the room is cleaned and that there couldn’t be any blood stain on the bed. That’s when I stepped in and said it was dirty that we weren’t making this up. That’s when she said she was going to refund our money but first she had to send security to check it out make sure we weren’t lying.
Waited another 20 mins security came to the room took pictures and left. My cousin came back up 10 mins later and said we had to be out of the room before we get our money back. Security was nice enough to approach us and assumed we had been told to leave the room because of sanitary reason. But unfortunately this wasn’t the case, the only reason was to get a refund. That refund was only given because the lady knew I would contact corporate about this unsanitary hotel.
I would give them a lower star if I could would never recommend this hotel to anyone even if it was the only one available. Which reminds me the lady also wished us luck finding another hotel because they were all booked and it was more of the way she said it like she was hoping we couldn’t find another hotel. Not the kind of customer service anyone should experience.
I also took pictures and video of this unsanitary room.

Do not stay here! I found a junkies needle jammed into my bed of their delux room. Very ghetto I checked in and checkout within an hour. Very seedy and lots of scary people.

My family decided to take a last minute road trip to Las Vegas. As expected it was extremely hard to find a hotel in one of the busiest cities there are. After a hour of searching, this hotel was the only one available at the last minute. Upon getting there and waiting in a very long line (minding you there was only one person at the front desk for the whole hotel) I was able to obtain my room key. After the family and I lugged everything upstairs we found bed bugs. Not only were there bed bugs but there was holes and stains in the sheet but the room had a horrible stench as soon as you walked in. Once I went downstairs to address this issue I was given another room but was unfortunately locked out of the old one which housed all of our belongings. Then the security came up to do a «report» which led to nothing but attitude. He asked about five times what was my name and I replied ever time what my name was, he kept saying I wasn’t the one for the room. I tried talking to him but he kept rudely cutting me off, I then asked to speak with the manager of the hotel and he lied saying he was the manager. Later I found out he was not the manager of the hotel, not only did I receive attitude from your staff but I was lied to. My family trip was suppose to been fun and relaxing but it turned out to be horrible, not only for me and my spouse but for our kids as well. Just horrible customer service and bad room service.

Disgusting. Our couch had a huge stain on it. The carpet was beyond filthy. Something was smeared all over the bathroom and vanity room walls, either blood, makeup or who knows what. I would not sit on the furniture and did not pull back sheets to sleep. They offered another room that was as bad if not worse. We were stuck as we had been staying at a great hotel on the strip since Monday but needed to extend one day and due to several conferences we were forced to relocate. Frankly I was horrified. NEVER AGAIN. Further, the entire place had a very unsettling feel to it.

This hotel is the worse place to come to. They charge tou $ 11.99 a day for internet use. When other hotel has the internet for free. Plus I have a two children that drinks milk. So I asked for a a small refrigerator so in could store my kids food & milk. Never got the refrigerator but got charged. And our room keycard for our room did not work. Went to to the front desk explained ti them that the card was not working and then employee just walked away and left me hanging. Never came back. To everyone who is driving or visiting Vegas. Pleas please. Do not come to Arizona Charlie’s Casinos Hotel on 4575 Boulder Hey.

RV PARK, has a separate entrance.
WiFi. Pets cannot be over 35 lbs. NOT for us. $ 32/​night.
$ 180/​week pull thru.
Cost is up to $ 650 a month, including utilities. add 12% tax.

2.5÷3 for the hotel, 4 for the casino food deals and service
HOTEL (REALLY A MOTEL): Rooms are very basic, comparable to budget chains like Motel 6 and Super 8. No resort fee, but also no WiFi — 12 bucks a day extra if you want that. Needless to say no in-​room coffee, fridge or micro either. But it was clean enough, and maybe I just got lucky but it was quiet enough, and on booking sites you can get weekends for around $ 40 after tax sometimes. I would imagine Aceplay members can also get discounts and comps relatively easily since the rooms are so basic. OK in a pinch just to save money, at least if you bring your own wifi or don’t need it.
CASINO: Looked like some OK pay tables, decent locals-​focused place, honestly I didn’t gamble here at all or poke around the machines much though. Points and tiers are shared between the other AZ Chuckles location and the Stratosphere.
FOOD: This is where the place really shined, the little grill on the first floor of the casino and the Sourdough Café upstairs had all sorts of nice deals, customer service was great, food was very solid. 10% discount on the already good prices for the most basic level of Aceplay cards and apparently discounts go up with the tiers too

1 star is too much but since i have to put a star they get it by default. This place is FILTY ! It is outdated, no wifi, rooms arent properly cleaned. We literally showered with shoes on and didnt want to sit down. We showered and checked out it isnt worth the stay at all SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. Motel 6 would be better than here FORSURE!

It took us 20 min from the airport to get here without traffic. The outside looks like any other grungy pink motel but the inside is bad. I wasn’t expecting much for $ 35 but my sink was clogged, there were toilet stains, and I couldn’t tell if the sheets were stained or if that’s a pattern. It’s kind of far from the strip also. I think their hotel shampoo made my hair more oily.
Pros
Cheap price.
Cons
Cheap feel. Horrible lighting.
Would I come here again?
No. I’m sure I could find similar priced hotels closer to the strip.

I travel to Las Vegas regularly — two to four times a year. I’m a poker player always looking for an edge. The last thing I want is a luxury-​priced hotel that cuts into my thin bottom line. I prefer budget accommodations. So half a dozen years ago I went with this property located about 6 miles away from the Strip, on Boulder Highway, just a little north of Henderson. But I always rent a car and don’t like the long lines of the large strip hotels anyway. So this property’s somewhat distant location was not much a deficiency for me.
The casino has a very nice restaurant, the Sourdough Café, with terrifically inexpensive specials, especially breakfast specials. The rooms themselves are well worn, acceptable in size if not spacious, and modestly appointed, with nothing extra — no microwave or refrigerator (at least not in the standard rooms). There is an outdoor pool on site but no gym.
The location is a step above awful — that doesn’t bother me at all. But if I were a woman staying alone or a family with children I might give it some pause. There are «working girls» who clearly frequent the property and the sidewalks near it. But to the property’s advantage are three large full-​service and budget-​oriented casinos: Boulder Station, Sam’s Town, and The Cannery East. The Longhorn Casino, home to many very inexpensive breakfast and dinner specials is also within a nice stroll.
The best reason to stay is the price — among the very lowest in the Las Vegas area. And, to top it off, THERE IS NO RESORT FEE!!! All things considered, this is the best deal for an acceptably clean and functional casino hotel room.

Go play bingo! Didn’t think I’d enjoy it but it was so much fun! & their deli food is delicious. Recommend the wings. Can’t really comment on anything else though.

This is the first time my family and I have stayed here and it will definitely be the last! Housekeeping didn’t come in to clean the room, make the beds nor leave clean towels. We have stayed Downtown at The D, Palace Station, we stayed at Boulder Station and at Sam’s Town and their service is 10 times better than this place! My daughter and her family also stayed here, the 1^st time she had ants in her room but they quickly gave her another room and were very apologetic so she decided to stay here again but now this time her room had roaches!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL WE STAY HERE!!!

I dont like to leave bad reviews because I feel thats the only time people comment on Unilocal,however, I feel people should hear this. my husband and I moved down here from seattle for a job opportunity. While waiting for our apartment to be ready, we chose this place because as everyone knows, its far better then any of the suites around here. After a long stressful day of dealing with finding our apartment, I pulled back the sheets to the bed in the bedroom, and there were 3 large fresh poo stains on the sheets! I was horrified! I then looked up… to look away… and on the ceiling was a fairly large blood stain! on the ceiling!!! We immediately called the front desk and got the voice mail so we left a msg. After about 30mins with no response, we had to change out of our pj’s and walk all the way back to the front desk. The kid at the desk was very nice, and just as horrified as we werr when I showed him the pictures.(which I would attatch if I knew how!) He moved us to a new room, but was a non smoking because they had no more smoking rooms available, and it was a lot farther away and on 3^rd floor… and elevators out of order of course! He gave us buffet passes for 3 meals each because he said that was all he could do, but would let the mgr. know and see what she could do for us. We never heard from her, no apologies or anything. I gave 2 stars because the rest of the staff was great, and our second room was much better. But the lack of empathy from management, and lack of communication, really irks me. I dont know that I would ever stay there again, or recommend it. Just think people should know and be warned! Who knows whats on that bedding you CANT SEE!
***figured out pictures!

Pros, Cons, then summary
Took my family to Las Vegas to watch the Monster Truck World Finals. I was not in town this time to do the typical «Vegas» thing: clubs, gambling, nice buffets, etc.
PROS – Only a few miles from Sam Boyd Stadium. Near some good fast food joints (ex: In-​N-​Out, Sonic, local joints, etc.). The hotel was cheap, probably the only reason for two stars. The shower had good pressure, and the toilet worked fine. One huge pro was that the AC was a newer model and worked very well. It kept the room at a constant cool temperature and was cold our entire stay. Ice machine worked well too. Because the neighborhood was a bit shady, they had bike security 24 hours, and they were nice and professional. More importantly, the security was visible at all hours and seemed to take pride in their job.
CONS– Very dirty rooms. The floor was filthy. We basically had to wear flip-​flops in the room because wearing socks, or no socks, would turn the bottoms of our feet black. The TV was state-​of-​the-​art if it was 1991. Old box TV. Also, we had to call the front desk because it didn’t have a remote. (On the plus side, they did come in a few minutes) The pool was rather small and dirty for a place this big. I didn’t do any gambling but did spend some time scouting the casino for future reference. It was as others have described… old retirees, elders, and other odd people. The neighborhood is shady. Don’t plan on walking anywhere after sunset (unless you have a CCW). There are numerous pimps and prostitutes up and down Boulder Hwy.
Would I come back here? Probably not, unless all other places were booked solid. I’d trust a Motel 6 or Super 8 over Charlie’s. It’s only redeeming value is if I ever plan to go to Sam Boyd stadium again. Otherwise, if you’re looking for the «Vegas» experience, this is not it. Too far off the strip and no real nightlife.

This is the 3^rd and final update, after finally getting ahold of management and talking with them today they decided to comp my room costs for one night. I thank them for that, the room besides the issues I had on my stay were decent and if you’re looking for a cheap place. go to motel 6 or something like that.

The 2 star review just became a 1 star… like noted my first day was an absolute hell here and I’ve been nervous since and even had a nightmare. The first day I got here and kindly told the front desk lady that I had recently had ankle surgery and couldn’t walk far. She said she understood and would get me one of the closest rooms.
After getting my room number I went to go to my room, when I inserted my key it didn’t work. I figured maybe I had a bad key so I tried both and neither worked. I called the front desk to contacted security and security told me that the front desk wrote down the wrong building and room number.
After finding the right room I went in and put my stuff on one of the beds and went to use the restroom since I had just been on the road for a couple hours. I went into the bathroom and after using the toilet I noticed blood on the ground under the toilet and right against the wall. this absolutely freaked me out as blood can carry disease. I called the front desk and told them and they said they would send someone to meet me at my «upgraded» room.
One final update. I went back to my orginal booking email and I had a double room with double beds. why did they try to put me in a normal 1 room 2 bed room?
They claimed I was upgraded when I got the room I was supposed to have in the first place???
So after going to my upgraded room and standing outside for 15 minute an security guard showed up and said oh I thought you’d still be at the other room. After this he let me in and went our seperate ways.
I once again put my stuff on the bed and went to Walmart when my friend as soon as he had gotten to my room. We went and enjoyed some in-​n out and got some drinks and food at walmart, about 3 hours later we got back and I went to use the bathroom to only find the toilet clogged with used toilet paper and an handle that was «loose».
I’ve only been able speak to the front desk and never have been able to contact a manager. The front desk however said that the manager they’ve contacted at home would be happy to give me $ 10 off my total purchase… Seriously? I seen blood and now even had nightmare about it. not to mention someone else’s toilet paper and a clogged toilet isn’t what I paid for.
The staff for the most part are friendly but it seems you’ll never get a hold of an manager like I said I could’ve on friday. seems they just never show up.

Stayed here with the family on valentines day because EVERYWHERE was sold out. This place is one step above a rent by the hour motel. Our comforter smelled so bad I had to put it in the closet and close the door. I didn’t like how the hotel building was separate from the casino/​restaurants. Unless your in our situation and your option is to sleep in the car or stay here DONT stay here. I would recommend a station casino if you’re staying off the strip. The only reason they got 2 stars was because the steak and eggs breakfast was sooo good and such a good deal.

Hotel Review:
Location is off the strip on Boulder highway. I had a convention at Sam’s town and this was a cheaper hotel. Location is within a mile of Sam’s town, but the neighborhood was a little dicey. The back rooms are next to a trailer park and a 711 which makes the element not so great. In the hotels defense they did have security cameras and bike patrols in the area. Was last here in 2006 and was better then. Hotel rooms need a major renovation. Rooms were as clean as expected but so old you could only do so much. My non smoking room was only a suggestion I suppose and the 19″ tube tv was vintage to say the least.
Pros: price, decent coffee shop in casino, no resort fee, parking close to rooms, staff is nice.
Cons: old stale smelling rooms, 19“tube tv, dicey neighborhood, rooms far from casino, rooms are like a motel 6
