La Concha Motel?
 

Anybody got any opinions on this place?
It sounds interesting from something I read:
"A 1960s-era sign advertising color television is the first clue that La Concha Motel isn't like other Strip properties. ... The lobby looks as it must have on the motel's opening day in 1961. ... The front desk is a small affair and, if not for the lone woman standing behind it, one might mistakenly think La Concha is closed. The slot and poker machines that have become so entrenched in every nook and cranny of Las Vegas are conspicuously absent at La Concha."

I would *guess* that it's a dump, but if anyone has anything good to say about this "classic", feel free to correct me. I wouldn't stay there though.

I considered staying at this hotel, but it just didn't appeal to me because of the high prices for the rooms. There are much better places to stay for the prices they want. I'd suggest staying somewhere else and just go there for the sunset and rooftop bar.

Thanks for your replies. I had assumed that it would be fairly cheap with a bit of character thrown in. Do you recall what rates they were asking Heartburn3? Any suggestions as to alternatives?

Smalley, the La Concha is a lousy old motel. I would recommend avoiding it. There are usually plenty of value-oriented choices at clean hotels all over town. If you need help finding one, mention your dates, budget, and location preferences. The Fodorites here will help you out.

OK lasvegaslocal, I guess you should know. I found it in a Lonley Planet guide, described as "convenient" so thought there might be something in it.

La Concha sucks! We had friends that stayed there while we stayed at the Bellagio. After one night they joined us at the Bellagio. Don't even go there! You can check online for super great rates in Vegas.

I can't believe that it's still there! I got stuck staying there once for a convention that was next door. If it still has those beds with the "magic fingers", it might be interesting for a truly tacky experience. Makes you wonder about some of the travel advice you get...
