Casino Royale (Best Western Plus Casino Royale – Center Strip) is a small, budget-friendly hotel and casino right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip at 3411 Las Vegas Blvd South. It's directly across from The Mirage (now Hard Rock), offering a classic, no-frills Vegas vibe that feels like old-school Strip gaming without the massive crowds or high prices of its mega-resort neighbors.
Key Features
Hotel**: It has 152 newly remodeled rooms in a compact, European-villa-style building (think colorful turrets and gables). No resort fees, free parking for guests (rare on the Strip), free Wi-Fi, a small pool (open late), and a fitness center. Rooms are basic but comfortable and well-located for walking everywhere.
Casino Floor**: About 19,000 sq ft with a focus on slots (hundreds of machines, including popular titles like 007 James Bond-themed games and Dancing Drum Explosion), plus table games such as Blackjack and Roulette. It's geared toward casual players and low-rollers—bright, lively, and approachable.
Dining and Amenities
Dining options include a 24/7 Denny’s (with good Strip views), Outback Steakhouse, a Food Court (Pizza Hut, Subway, etc.), and drink specials at the bar (e.g., $3 bottled beer). It used to have a 24/7 White Castle (one of the few in the West when it opened in 2014/2015), but that location closed in late March 2026.
New increased slot area: The former White Castle space has been converted into expanded gaming, adding more slot machines and noticeably enlarging the casino floor. This recent change (visible in 2026 walkthroughs) makes the property feel bigger and more slot-focused while keeping its intimate, old-Vegas charm.
Overall, Casino Royale stands out as one of the last remaining smaller, affordable Strip spots—great for convenient location, value, and straightforward gaming without the glitz (or cost) of the big resorts. It's popular with locals, budget travelers, and those who want easy access to the action.
