Ellis Island Hotel

Ellis Island Hotel is a budget hotel attached to the Ellis Island casino and microbrewery at 4178 Koval Ln, just off the Center Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, a short walk behind the Horseshoe and Bally's area and across from Harrah's and the Flamingo. The Koval Lane location places visitors within about a ten-minute walk of the Strip's Flamingo Road corner, and the Las Vegas Monorail stop at Flamingo and Caesars is within walking distance for those prepared for the heat; Harry Reid International Airport is about ten minutes away by road. The property has a modest, unpretentious character that is popular with local residents and budget travellers, and the casino is small and low-key compared with the large Strip resorts. Room types are Standard King and Two Queen Rooms, with simple furnishings and practical amenities, and rates are among the lowest near the Center Strip, roughly $50 to $160 per night; resort fee policies vary, so the total should be confirmed at booking. The standout feature is the on-site microbrewery, which produces its own beers and is known locally for inexpensive food and drink, including a cheap steak or breakfast deal that draws regulars. Karaoke nights and a casual bar atmosphere add to its appeal, and a pool is available for guests. The hotel does not offer the extensive spa, fitness or fine-dining facilities of larger resorts, and visitors typically eat in the cafe, at the brewery or at nearby Strip restaurants. Service is friendly and informal, geared toward value-seeking travellers, groups of friends and visitors who want to save on accommodation while remaining close to the central Strip. It is best suited to travellers who spend most of their time outside the hotel and prefer a local feel to a themed resort, and who are comfortable with a modest property in exchange for the low rates and walkable location.
