In this video, YouTuber Pompsie takes viewers on a full tour and honest review of the Ahern Hotel and Convention Center, located just off the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. Once known as the Lucky Dragon, the hotel has been rebranded as a boutique-style property with no resort fees, updated interiors, and surprisingly clean accommodations for around $100–$160 per night. Pompsie explores a standard king room and highlights its comfort and value, especially given its proximity to the Strip.
However, the video doesn’t shy away from addressing the downsides. The hotel’s location near Naked City—a historically rough area—raises safety concerns, particularly at night. Still, Pompsie notes that the hotel itself feels very secure and well-maintained. The property includes restaurants, a pool, gym, and even an old casino space repurposed for events, giving it a unique charm and flexibility.
Beyond the Ahern, Pompsie and his partner explore local attractions like FlyOver Las Vegas and enjoy a fine dining experience at Don’s Prime in the new Fontainebleau. They compare it to the hotel’s own steakhouse, Joel’s Chop House, which appeared nice but lacked ambiance due to low foot traffic. Overall, the video offers a balanced look at budget-friendly lodging with character in Las Vegas—perfect for travelers looking to save without sacrificing quality.
