The room itself was clean but was dated and confusing. There was a small couch across from a very small tv. We liked the couch. Blackout curtains worked well. Ac was hit or miss. Fridge was not cold and was located in weird awkward kitchenette area across from the bed. The entire kitchenette area was gutted so there was an awkward wide bar area, fridge and kitchen sink. There was no cooktop / cooking utensils / or trappings of a regular kitchen. No coffee / tea / water available in room. No coffee maker or microwave. Bathroom small and dated. We wish the bathroom door was not paper thin as it was directly across from the bed. Fan was broken and located in an oddly recessed light future that made a very loud grinding noise when the light was turned on. There was a big closet and a few drawers to stash clothes in. Felt like a dated extended stay / timeshare property without the amenities in the room to complete the functionality. Good value for the price. Staff was lovely especially with a lot of ‘characters’ and personalities at the front desk. Might stay there again.

Absolutely no updates to the hotel. Looks like they’ve had the same carpet since it was established in the 70’s. No coffee, no microwave in the room and the mini fridge smelled like something died in it. Will never stay there again.

Beautiful, spacious and lowkey hotel if you’re looking to get away from the craziness of the strip, but still walkable to metro and the convention center. Staff is super accommodating and friendly. Honestly had an amazing experience here. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet smaller hotel experience with food and bar options available onsite.

Staff was mostly friendly; the rooms were very basic with frustrating quirks (lights, tv, key card malfunctions etc.). You get what you pay for, an affordable Vegas stay somewhat close to the strip and convention center. If you don’t stay in your room very much, you’ll be fine

There was a creepy guy loitering right outside that made us nervous when we first arrived and their system had a problem with our reservation so it took about 30 minutes to check in. The room was relatively clean, but the toilet looked moldy. The water pressure in the shower wasn't great, but that seems to be common in Vegas. Our key cards simultaneously stopped working for some reason, and even in the limited interaction we had with other guests, we heard that their key cards stopped working and had to be replaced after two days too. The location was good for getting to the Las Vegas Conference Center, but other than that, it seemed more like a mid-to-low-quality motel instead of a hotel.
But, if you don't mind a dingy motel feel, it is very affordable and we didn't see any bugs or stained sheets or sketchy people hanging around the property. 3/5 stars.

Very Nice place to stay. Great location. Located just East of the Wynn golf course, just South of the L.V. convention center, right by the monorail, & very close to the Sphere, as well. Stayed in room #3113, which was a top floor (3rd) middle unit on the south side (view of the Sphere). 5 nights in early-March 2026.

Negatives:
Older rooms with some cosmetic wear.

Positives:
Super easy check-in. Park out front & short walk to the front desk. Abundant free parking (and it's not a mile walk away, unlike the massive hotels). Super easy access to the rooms (no walking a mile thru a casino, up the elevator, another mile down the corridor, etc.) Room was quiet, clean, & comfortable. Big room with proper desk & chairs. Water was instant hot & seemed to be filtered for better water quality. Beds had firm & soft pillows for back & side sleepers. Free Wi-fi worked well. Big points for having a mini Fridge & USB ports at 3 locations for total of 6 plugs! Check-out was easy, just leave the key in the room. Also, for EV drivers there are 24/7 ChargePoint L2 chargers with 4 plugs just a 20 min walk south over at the Atomic Museum.

Final thoughts:
I liked this place a lot. It's not a bigger strip hotel with their amenities & distractions, but the cost & stress is much less. Great location in all ways that matter. It would be even better, if there were onsite EV chargers with a fair price per kW. Then, it would be perfect. We'll look for that, when we come back.

The stay at the Mardi Gras was wonderful. We were in town for a con and needed a comfortable place to rest, sleep and wash up. Not only did it meet those requirements, the staff at the front desk and bar area were incredibly helpful and kind. It really made us feel at home every time we went down for a drink or a bite. The beds were super comfortable too! One piece of feedback I do have is that, at least on our room, the bathtub had some issues draining. It took a bit long and we had to wait for that to finish before someone else could step in. The walls are also pretty thin so I would advise to keep that in mind if you’re a very light sleeper.

Aside from those points, I would absolutely recommend it for someone looking for an affordable, cozy, spot to sleep, shower, and get a quick drink/food during your vegas convention hangouts.

Hotel is real close the Las Vegas Convention Center, like less than a 5 minute walk super close.

My only issue about the hotel room was the doorknob to the bathroom broke off. Who ever installed the doorknob was didn't do a good job. Body towels were a little too small and so was the shower tub. If you're a big guy you probably won't like it. Would I come back? Probably if there is another event at the convention center

The carpet in the room was dirty; we had to request cleaning three times.
Many guests had to reprogram their keys because they stopped working daily.
The room was for two people, and they only provided one chair. When we asked for an additional chair, they told us there weren't any more.
Two lights in the room didn't work; we complained, but they were never repaired.

The staff was top notch. I think they know this is an "economic option" for travelers and try to make up for it will service. It is dated. The rooms are not fancy at all but they are clean and the bed was comfy enough for a fussy traveler to sleep on night one. The 24 restaurant was not kidding when they had a limited menu when we got there at 2 AM. All they had was pepperoni pizza. That said, best damn 2 AM pizza I had outside of NY. Coffee was really good as well. Missed the buffet on day 1 but the restaurant was better than expected and again very attentive staff. We did make the buffet on day 2 and it was good standard fare. Again service was excellent. Would we stay here again? Maybe. I wouldn't say no in a pinch. At night the area is a little sketchy, especially by the 7-Eleven.

Very good value, but not much to celebrate. Outdated fixtures and decor, and a pervasive odor of 30-year old cigarette smoke, but I guess that’s par for the course in affordable Las Vegas hotels. Mostly clean. Staff were excellent and friendly. Easy walk to the Sphere, which is probably why you’re looking at this property.

My flight got cancelleld and I called the hotel to cancel because I could not get there. They were sold out and I called as soon as Frotnier cancelled the flights to please resell my room and they would not becuase it was booked at third party.\. So I paid for the room that I never got to becuase of the flights being cancelled, and instead slept in the airport in the city I was supposed to be flying out of - and never made it toVegas where the hotel was booked because Frotneir did't have any flight going to Vegas or to LA for another 3 days!!

I recently stayed at the Mardi Gras Hotel. I was initially pleased with the spacious room and the fact that it didn't have any lingering odors. However, my experience was marred by the discovery of cockroaches in the bathroom.

After catching the first one, I hoped it was an isolated incident. But as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, once said regarding private credit risks—"when you find one cockroach, there are usually many more." Unfortunately, he was right. I found another one while washing my face the next morning, which was a very unpleasant way to start the day.

While I understand that being on the first floor makes it harder to keep pests out, my colleague also mentioned seeing cockroaches right outside their room. I strongly suggest the hotel invest more in professional pest control and properly seal the gaps under the doors on the ground floor.

The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the location is great. I truly hope the management resolves this hygiene issue soon, as it's the only thing holding back an otherwise pleasant stay.

The room was clean and well stocked with towels, etc. Curtains and lighting were easy to control. Shower worked great. The hotel is near a monorail stop, which I used couple of times to get to and from the Strip. Much cheaper than a ride service and gives a nice city view along the way.

No hot water the first night when I needed a shower after a long drive. Front desk acknowledged that lack of hot water is a problem that they're working on, and that I could "wait until morning" for the hot water. Doesn't do me any good when I needed one the first night. Internet service sucked. I ended up having to us my cellphone to get on the internet to get anything done in a decent amount of time. Bartender Liz was not very friendly.
