Is the Hooters Casino Hotel on its way out already, just a year after opening? There's been some trouble in this orange shorted mammary land for a while and with this guest's recent review, we can understand why Hooters is having a tough time meeting the Vegas average occupancy rate.

Here Hotel Maven Bigballspindick (lovely name, we know) tells us about what's so wrong with this Hooters hotel.

When I booked a three night stay at Hooter's, I'd already suspected that the place wouldn't exactly be four star. But when I got there, I was blown away by just how bad the hotel really was...

I arrived, checked in, and was given keys to my room. I walked through the casino, got in the elevator, and went up to my floor. When the doors opened, the 1st thing to hit me was the smell. It was a combination of mildew and stale beer. The hallway carpets were stained and gross. I'm not talking about just a spot or two, but everywhere I looked there stains and spots, as if the floors were never cleaned.

When I got to my room, I found that it too smelled funny, and was not the room I'd booked online a week before. I called the front desk to see about changing rooms and found the employee to be short on patience and confrontational. I asked for the general manager and found him to be even worse; in fact, he invited me to just leave the hotel if I hated the room so much. After some bickering I finally got moved to the room I actually paid for.

The room I ended up in was set up the way promised online, but had numerous problems: The shower water would never keep a steady temperature. I couldn't believe how it went from freezing cold to scalding hot, even though I never touched the handles; hmm...

It was breezy at night while I was in Vegas, and I never forgot it. This is because the wind whistled and howled through the patio door in my room. None of my attempts to quiet the door down were successful, so I just let it be.

The air conditioner in my room was extremely loud, whether I set it on heat or cool, low or high. I ended up turned it off.

The guests on my floor were extremely rowdy, and always seemed to be in the hallway late at night, yelling and pounding on doors and slamming them.

I had breakfast at the Dam Restaurant, and it was gross. I've never had liquid scrambled eggs before, I thought I was in the space program or something. The sausage patties were grey too, that was a nice touch.

This place makes an interesting casino, decorated in typical Hooters fashion. Some of the card dealers were actually Hooters girls. But as a hotel this joint totally missed the mark. These folks have no business in the hospitality industry.
