Barbary Coast Room 404

4th floor non-smoking, one king bed.  Nice view of the Bellagio fountains and the Eiffel Tower.  Second-to-last room on the hall farthest from the elevator - a bit of a hike.  The furniture contained a king bed with brass headboard; marble-topped nightstands on either side of the bed, both with lamps, one with a phone; a chair; a dresser with a 27" (I think) TV on top; a desk and chair; but no telephone jack near.  Nominally separated from the sleeping area by a tied-back curtain as you walk towards the window was a sitting area with a table and chairs.  The air conditioner was a window unit, controlled by a wall thermostat.  The window wasn't supposed to open far, but we got it nearly all the way open.  It opens onto a faux balcony that you are not supposed to walk on, as it is hollow.  The bathroom is separated into a closet/sink area and a tub/toilet area.  There is a small stained glass window in the tub area that you can open a bit, presumably in lieu of a vent fan.  Toiletries included a small and large bar of normal-scented French milled soap, minty mouthwash, almond-scented shampoo/conditioner mix, almond scented lotion, and bath gelee (didn't open it to smell it).  The tub is standard size; not a soaking tub.

There are no Coke machines in the hotel.  There was an ice maker right by the elevator.  There was not an alarm clock or any sort of radio in the room.  I didn't notice a smoky smell in the room.  No safe, coffee maker, ironing board, etc.

Positives: very close access from self- or valet parking to your room, short trip from your room to the casino, restaurants, or the strip. Fantastic location on the strip, with walkways to Bally's and Caesar's on that corner.  Nice, large room - both nicer and much larger than I had anticipated.  Quick, easy check-in.  Turn-down service at night if there's nothing on the bed.

Negatives: lots of street noise - do not stay here if you're a light sleeper, as road work and sirens sound like they're in the room with you.  Casino is small; a mixed blessing, as it's easy to get to know the dealers, but there's not much variety. Index

Barbary Coast Room:   311 posted 5/19/03
Smoking:         Yes
Day:             Thursday
Dates:           5/13/03 - 5/16/2003
Rate:            $59.00
Agency: Internet, then confirmed with telephone, both directly with hotel
Amenities: Soap, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer.  No safe.  No iron.  No coffee machine. 
View: Faced North.  Overlooked the Flamingo ventilation system.  Not a good view at all.
Other: Positives: Great location at a good price.  Room was large and comfortable.  Style was what I would consider turn of the century chic - my buddy said it was Old West whorehouse motif.  Bathroom was a little on the small side, but was OK.  Small stained glass window in bathroom that opened.  Free shuttle service to the Orleans and Gold Coast and back was great for a large group (7).  Saved a lot on cabs.  Being a small casino, it was easy to find everything.  Also, got some good coupons for free drinks and match play.  At least one, sometimes three $5 craps tables were open.  Drinks were relatively prompt, although the beers were small.  Housekeeping was very prompt - room was made up by 10 am each day.  However, when the Do Not Disturb sign was in the lock, we were not bothered.
Negatives: Definitely not as fancy as other places on the Strip.  Noisy, especially with the construction going on at Caesars.  Early each morning the heavy construction equipment would start.  Every time one would back up - beep  beep  beep.  Like having an alarm clock go off all morning long.  Definitely annoying.
Overall:  Although the location was good, because of the noise, I'd probably stay somewhere else. Index

Barbary Coast Room:   404 posted 5/22/04

I scored an excellent room (404), with a great view of the Eiffel tower and the
Bellagio fountains. I could hear a bit of traffic noise, but that was
just a slight inconvenience considering the perks. The layout of the
room was similar as in the Orleans. I liked the dark tones in the
decor. Index

Barbary Coast Room:   226 posted 9/2/05

We stayed at the Barbary Coast, which sits there like a little terrier
surrounded by the Big Dogs like Bellagio, Bally's, Flamingo, and
Caesers. We moved into our room, 236, and discovered that the dresser
had fake drawers. never happened to me anywhere before. We went back
to the desk and reported it, and they were as baffled as us. We got
moved to 226, a much better room (king bed side), with a view oif the
Bellagio fountains and the Eiffel Tower. I mean, it was surreal to
take shower with the window open and look out at the fountains, for 60
bucks a night even :) Way cool! Index

Barbary Coast Room:   202 posted 12/18/06

Room 202 was completely renovated and had a huge plasma tv and a
comfortable king size bed. Iīm no big fan of the decor, but the rooms
arenīt as dark as they used to be any more. This was the first time I
had trouble with noise at the BC. Traffic was louder than I
remembered, there was quite a lot of siren activity and even the
Fountains were pretty loud. My wife was in a very forgiving mood and
didnīt mind at all (the first night). The noise was in part due to the
fact that this is one of the lowest rooms which is nearest to the
intersection. The view was the best you can get from the BC, but was
somewhat obstructed by a transparent ad (that promptly disappeared two
days after we had checked out). New sleeker toilettries (a brand I
didnīt know). Index
