By 2001, aside from routine maintenance, the property remained virtually unchanged since its opening. Larry Kifer said, "Our thought has always been to maintain it as it was, consistently remodeling but with same decor." The Las Vegas Sun noted in 2001 that the property was quiet, stating that, "Save for the Riviera looming over the Algiers' south side, one would never know by standing in its courtyard that the hotel is on the Strip. […] Standing on the small outdoor patio near the hotel entrance, the clicking of yellow light bulbs flickering from the hotel's red-painted restaurant is the only sound you hear." Hal Rothman, a history professor for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said at that time, "It is a wonderful piece of old Las Vegas,. It's one of the things that if in another city it would become a historical place ... It's the archetypical 1950s-style of the Las Vegas hotel." As of 2001, the Algiers had 106 hotel rooms, including one suite. At that time, the hotel also featured video poker machines in the bar. After the hotel's closure, the roadside sign was donated to Las Vegas' Neon Museum.
