Are HET properties that bad?

I have been to Vegas more time than I can count and I am surprsied about some of the comments about HET properties. I am a Ballys girl at heart but have mostly stayed at HET properties over the years. I havent been to Vegas since last year but I am wondering should I look at staying/gambling at other properties.

If Ballys (a HET property) works for you, then stick with it. Their properties run the spectrum. You can get anything from a Capri room at IP to the Augustus Tower at Caesars. All hotels have been experiencing some cut backs in staff due to the economy, but hardly a reason to run away from all HET casinos. I would not surrender years of loyalty (and whatever comps you get) based on a few reviews.

No, if they work for you, don%26#39;t feel pressured to change. There are people who don%26#39;t like the gaming rules or are just happier at other places but they aren%26#39;t you and copying them won%26#39;t necessarily make you happier. If there is a another hotel that you are curious about, sure, try it, but don%26#39;t switch chains because of other people.

Some HET properties are dumps and some are great.

Nothing wrong with Bally%26#39;s.

It all depends on your interests. Harrahs, MGM, Wynn or V all have something diffrent.

I find it easier to get free rooms and meals @ HET hotels but I also enjoy staying at Mandalay, MGM or Mirage in the summers just for the pools.

If they are good to you return the favor. IP gets the bad rap but it does have clean rooms and always can eat anywhere. But each corporation have one lower tier hotel.

HET has prime mid strip locations and offer comfortable rooms. CP if the flagship that compete with the best. Newer is not always better.

Absolutely not. HET properties are fine.

Let me get this straight...

You frequent Vegas, you stay at HET properties, you enjoy yourself, have a good time, and are happy with the experience. But now that a lot of people here are complaining, your questioning your own satisfaction?

I like the feedback I get here. But I will always take my own first hand experience over anyone else%26#39;s account of their experience!

Thanks for the replies. I have enjoyed reading this forum and thought I would ask the question.

Personally I would stay no where else. HET has always taken care of me. Anytime I need a room I go online and am comped 5 nights. Anytime holiday or not. Between MIL and myself we always have a week comped. Besides I love Paris and that is my home away from home. If it works for you don%26#39;t try to fix it.....

I will not gamble at a HET property because of their lousy table game rules. But their hotels are just fine as far as I know.
