The Barbary Coast was a place that was invested with pirates that terrorized the European nations for centuries. This is a rather funny thing to name a casino after, but despite this inexplicable name the Barbary Coast is immensely popular with travelers to Vegas.
This hotel and casino was built in 1986 and was recently renovated to keep up with the newer hotels that have sprung up in and around Vegas. The popularity of the The Barbary Coast is driven by the fact that it is geared to young couples and families on a budget. Don't be fooled by the lower rates though, this hotel gives you everything that its high priced contemporaries have to offer.
When you look out of one of the 200 rooms in this facility, you will be looking down upon the Vegas Strip itself. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttles to numerous other places in Vegas. Adjacent from the fabulous Bellagio fountains, which are one of the seven wonders of Vegas. Also close to the hotel are the Fashion Show Mall, and Sands Expo.
The rooms at this hotel do not compare well in size to some of the more expensive facilities. What they lack in size though, they make up with in service. Each room is decorated in a Victorian style with one king or two double beds (upon availability at check-in) as your options. The services and features include daily housekeeping, free valet parking, wake up calls, a concierge, children's cribs, telephones, high-speed internet access, safety deposit boxes, luggage storage, ATMs, on-site car rental, hair-dryers, irons, ironing boards, and a 24-hour front desk. The staff itself at the Barbary Coast could be considered a perk that gives it an edge on the competition. They seem to pride themselves on going the extra mile to provide the customer with a world class experience.
The cozy confines of the casino offers 700 slots and video poker machines, many table games, including Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, and Pai Gow Poker. Along with the traditional high limit games Barbary offers numerous low-minimum tables for your gaming pleasure. |
