I spent over a month at this location and it is an oasis in the middle of the desert. There isn't a casino in this hotel and mainly the pool and lake are the main activities here. They also host many conferences and workshops and have multiple meeting rooms of various sizes. The food and bar options are decent but nothing outstanding. There is a casino and small shopping "village" at one of the nearby hotels but it never seemed crowded in this area so if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the strip then this might be the sanctuary your looking for. Personally I found this area to be pretty boring after a few days but it would be a nice spot for families with children.
