| - This place is alright. We stayed there last weekend and thought that the place was pretty cool. The 1 bedroom has a nice kitchen with a large fridge, microwave, stove, and coffee maker. The living room has a decent sofa bed and a large flat screen TV hanging on the wall. The bedroom is large, with a nice king size bed, a bathtub inside the room, and a bathroom with shower and toilet that can be accessed directly from the bedroom or from the hallway across from the kitchen.
My parents bought a week vacation as a timeshare for about $1000, so I think all in all it's basically costing them about $142 a night. Not bad, really, but then again you don't get room service for that price, which means although they're happy to bring you towels or even bedsheets, they won't clean your bathroom or make your bed. Well, they will, they say, but it'll cost you $50 for the privilege.
Taking that into account and the fact that they have a pathetic excuse for a swimming pool, I'm not impressed. Yeah, it's nice and quiet and out of the way of the hubbub of the strip, but really it ain't all that cheap.
I think it's a *great* solution, though, for those who want to travel on the cheap and spend most of their money gambling or partying with prostitutes... There were lots of young twentysomthings here (very quiet, mind you... We didn't hear loud partying) and that makes sense... Get a 2 bedroom suite and 6 guys crashing in there... You can buy your own booze, make your own food, drink lots of alcohol and get call girls to come to your room...
Alright let me be crude... if you're poor and you come to vegas to drink and fuck, then this is a great place to stay. If you actually care about the amenities and want to feel like you're living the glam rock star life for a weekend, go to a nice show, have a nice drink at a cool bar, etc, etc... then the Grand Chateau is *definitely* not the place for you.
