New notes on Eastside Cannery

They now offer free wifi in all the rooms.
There is also a coin operated laundry for guests.  This is a rare amenity in Vegas hotels and a real convenience for me when I travel for 23 days as it cuts into the need to do daily washing in the sink if I position the Eastside Cannery booking in the middle of my trip.
The rates are very competitive.  There is NO RESORT FEE  so already I am on their side just as a moral issue.  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are $40 a night; however, seniors can get $10 off that rate.  There is a pool.
The 202 Flamingo bus drops off right at their parking lot, so even a late night return from the strip means a safe drop off and walk to the casino, just like parking the car would.  It waits a while too, so one could catch that bus to the strip by waiting to see it actually at the stop.  It is a long ride, about 50 minutes, but without the crowds that are on strip buses, and there are plenty of things to do along Flamingo, including plenty of casinos.  Terribles, Tuscany, Ellis Island, Rio, Gold Coast, Palms are all right on the route. 
They do have a part of their website with some freebies, but most have such a short life you have to redeem them close to the time of your trip.  Webpass is the name.

PS  This ended up being a dysfunctional and confusing program.  See this post
