Five Vegas Motels to Avoid Like Day-Old Sushi

DAYS INN WILD WILD WEST

Our fifth and final fleabag seems to keep adding length to its official name, which currently stands as DAYS INN by Wyndham Las Vegas Wild Wild West Gambling Hall. The title is as meandering as the layout of this place, which shoots off in all directions and actually faces three separate roads. 

Just over the troll bridge from Excalibur on the opposite side of I-95, Wild Wild West caters mostly to long-haul truckers who park their rigs in a massive adjacent lot. Coincidentally (wink-wink), the area is also frequented by a parade of streetwalkers who seem to have an affection for the motel's barely-there country theme and always-open Denny's.

Wild Wild West also houses a dirty little casino that's perpetually filled with smoke, all the better to hide the carpet stains. Homeless people are known to sleep in the walkways and under the stairs, and police are frequently on the property to break up fights and respond to other crimes. 

The rooms themselves are very "Days Inn" basic and some are actually in decent shape. But when you combine the nightly rate with a mandatory $22.67 resort fee and compare that to the negatives, you're much better off just staying up the road at The Orleans.

Although Yelp assigns Wild Wild West a 2.5 star (average) rating, horrified Ikey M. from Phoenix had this to say: "Bed bugs, crabs, meth heads, crackheads, rigged gaming. Drug rings. Diseases. Don't do it. SHUT IT DOWN".
