Terrible's Hotel Casino has a bit of everything -- including a humorous Wild West-themed mascot. You'll spot him (with a handlebar mustache and a gas hose in hand -- a nod to the Terrible Herbst Oil Company) on the gold-colored door handles every time you enter and exit the property.
Located east of the Strip, you can mosey on down Flamingo Road and be at Terrible's in minutes. It's is also just a short ride from McCarran International Airport -- and a complimentary shuttle takes and picks up guests there 24 hours a day.
Although the exterior resembles an old mining town, this resort delivers contemporary style. Rooms, at prices which are not rough on the wallet, include a 42-inch plasma TV with cable service, a telephone with voicemail, an iron and ironing board, a hair dryer and free wireless internet access. Rollaway beds, cribs and refrigerators are available upon request.
In a courtyard at the center of the property is a lovely swimming pool to help you make the most of the city's sunny weather. A fitness center is also open around the clock for health-conscious guests.
Whether you're searching for a light breakfast, a hearty dinner or just a cozy meal in your room, you'll find exactly what you crave at Terrible's. Get a taste of world cuisines -- like Italian, Chinese and Mexican along with American-style seafood and steaks -- at Terrible's Buffet. The Bougainvillea Café, which has a charming garden setting, serves everything from snacks to barbecue combination platters, T-bone steak dinners and baby back ribs. There are some wonderful graveyard specials as well.
Watch your favorite sporting event in the bustling race and sports book. You can order beers and other cocktails from a nearby bar. A second bar is situated near a stage in a lounge, where you'll find live entertainment nightly (except on Mondays).
Terrible's has slot and video poker machines wherever the eye can see. There are dozens of table games including blackjack, pai gow, craps, roulette, baccarat and more. Or play bingo in a state-of-the-art room that seats 195 people.
For guests with cars, free self-parking is provided in a 500-space garage. A small sundries/gift shop can be found near the front desk.
A comfortable place to stay, Terrible's offers all the necessary modern hotel amenities while boasting an entertaining and affordable atmosphere -- just a jaunt from the Las Vegas Strip.
