TR snippet Gold Coast room

GOLD COAST
I stayed one night and enjoyed the location as I always have. However, my room was not maintained well. One bedroom lamp lacked a bulb and did not work when I switched bulbs. This was annoying as I use a sleep apnea mask and need to turn a light off once the mask is settled. Again I could have asked for repair, but when I have just one night and needed to get out early the next morning, I want the time to play not monitor repairs. My bathroom sink here too was incredibly slow. I don't quite get it why maids can't do a quick check of rooms and then have them repaired. At any rate this and that damned $3 resort fee which made this the most expensive night of my trip, turned me off again to staying at the Gold Coast even with the low prices.

They have changed the casino quite a bit since I was there. The jazz band which is my favlorite Vegas music, is now in the main performance area and their old area is totally remodeled. The Cortez Room is moved to the end of the casino and the poker room is set off from the casino floor.
I liked the changes, but room wise this was not the old Gold Coast I remember where things were kept up without input from guests. I reported it to the desk as I checked out but I did not see her make any notes or punch any buttons or apologize.
I think I am more attracted to the new and well kept rooms at the Eastside Cannery for a good bit less money and the same strip location a bus ride away.
