A relaxing resort away from the hi-jinx of the strip.
I needed a family-friendly room on the fly. Leave it to me to book a room last minute. There were going to be 2 adults and 2 teenage boys, a regular hotel room wasn't going to do. Went to bookit.com and found this gem for $100 a night. SCORE. Since it was a family trip I didn't need to be in the epicenter of the debauchery, but close enough to take a cab (which I did).
The property grounds were very nice. It seems like everything in Vegas was just built. And this resort was no different. The check-in was seamless and easy. Had family meeting us and requested we be close to each other, done..... no hassle. Upon checking in you meet with the concierge who gives you coupons, maps and a chance to attend a timeshare meeting I think. I didn't go either way obviously.
The room was very nice: Kitchen, dining area, living room (with sleeper sofa, and patio with view of the pool. Bathroom off the living room. Bedroom had a very comfortable bed (that we stayed in ALL day Sunday) and big soaker bath/shower combo.
The pool is awesome, for those who swim. Sorry I don't get my hair wet unless I'm in St. Thomas. There is a big Aztec-like temple with water slides. You can check out rafts for the kids.
There is an on-site restaurant and bar, that I went to a few times. Underground parking to shield your car and forgotten lip gloss from a total meltdown.
I really like it here, and a $20 cab ride to the strip.
