4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I’m not entirely sure I ever checked in. I walked through the doors and… things got strange. Time feels thin here, like the clocks stopped with the bellhop. Silver Sevens isn’t quite a hotel—it’s a holding pattern. A place where souls tap the “repeat bet” button forever.
The room itself? Renovated, clean, smoke-free. Signs forbid lighting up with a $250 fine. They’re trying. But the deeper you go, the more the illusion fades.
The clientele aren’t vacationers—they’re specters. Faded tattoos, lined faces, eyes dulled by jackpots that never came. They don’t talk. They linger, shoulders hunched, motions slow. Machines glow without bells, coins, or cheers. Just silence.
The casino feels hollow. A bar whispers instead of sings. No music, no laughter. A man holds a cigarette, the ash impossibly long, never falling. Nobody notices.
Staff are kind, though weary. Mostly older, steady, almost timeless. People who might’ve retired, but returned—maybe because they couldn’t leave.
Silver Sevens is a mile off the Strip, but a world away. You can see the lights of Vegas from here, but they’re unreachable. This place isn’t bad or dangerous—it’s just… elsewhere.
If you need a clean, budget room, you’ll find it. If you’re looking for Vegas, you’ll feel close. But if you’re looking for closure? Check in. Look around. And see if you’re the only one still breathing.
