Great location, rooms need TLC.\n\nThe Good: The Quad is located in the center of the strip, across from Caesars Palace and between Harrah's and Flamingo. It shares a Monorail stop with Harrah's. It's also had a recent full exterior makeover, and added The Linq -- a pedestrian-only alley with shops, restaurants, and a 550-foot Ferris Wheel. Our check-in receptionist was very professional and courteous. Great blackout curtains. Blankets and pillows were comfy.\n\nThe Bad: Getting to the parking structure requires going over The World's Most Horrific Speedbumps. I actually cracked my undercarriage exhaust on these. Go SLOWLY over these lest you want your fillings displaced. Parked, walked into hotel, was instantly accosted by the annoying \""HEY YOU GUYS JUST GET INTO TOWN HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A SHOW\"" people. We tried to politely decline, but these people wouldn't let it go, and we finally had to snap that we weren't interested in whatever they were selling. It looks like they renovated the major gaming area, but most ancillary areas are old and dusty and probably have been since the 80's.\n\nThe Ugly: Every time you walk off the elevator to the hotel room floors, we are assaulted with the stench of stale cigarette smoke. Step into the room, and get hit with a wall of musty, damp, muggy air. I suppose you get get used to it after a while. Shower head has little water pressure. Mattress has big dips in it. Carpet is stained and dirty. Sink barely drains. I imagine this room was nice when it was new, but everything now looks battered and dirty.\n\nGreat location, but remember you get what your pay for when it comes to room quality.
