| - I'm a well-seasoned visitor to the Grandview. I stayed there with a friend, every year for 4 years, for a month at a time to partake in the World Series of Poker.
***We did not stay at the Grandview as a timeshare; we only paid as if we were staying at a regular hotel. We didn't go to any presentations. We pretty much ignored their calls, when they tried to get us to come.***
It's a nice looking place & well provisioned. It's very nice having your own washer & dryer in the unit, but do know they're both small. You can only get so much into them.
They offer WiFi for a fair bit of money in the room ($10-$12/day & $45-$49/week. It's been a year, so don't quote me on that.), or you can access the internet in their computer lab for free during certain hours. They even offer a printer, should you need to print boarding passes for return flights home. The Grandview offers a convenient shuttle that runs to other properties at no cost. I only specifically remember that it runs to the Rio, as that was what I was interested in. Oh & it only runs on certain days.
I must say, though, that I did experience some annoyances. So here are a few recommendations.
Don't get a room near the elevator shaft or the elevator's machine room (on the top floor), or you'll hear banging & booming constantly throughout the night. You also hear water thumping on & off from the various units nearby. However, we didn't experience this to the same degree in every unit; we couldn't track down the source.
I highly recommend getting a room on the top floor. The dining table & chairs are situated on a tile floor of some kind. Every time someone upstairs drags a chair, it's very loud beneath.
In one unit we stayed in, the walls would snap crackle & pop, for seemingly no reason. We could hear it even through ear plugs.
Despite my annoyances, it's not a bad place to stay if you're just in town for a short bit or you're not hard-core about getting sleep when you can. :D But who sleeps in Vegas?!?! :D LOL
