| - We love this place and look forward to returning. In fact, the location was so perfect and the office staff were so great that we repeatedly extended our stay for a total of three months! Each employee was pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. They knocked on our door or left notes (if we were away) to let us know when we had packages or mail delivered. We had to go to the office, show identification, and sign for packages/mail to pick it up and they went to their back room to retrieve them; we appreciated knowing our mail was accepted and kept in a secure location (not just up front where anyone could have access). We were initially leery of the safety, based on some older Yelp reviews. It became immediately apparent to us, however, that security has been beefed way up after incidents in prior years. Security personnel on bicycles in bright yellow shirts patrol the entire park 24/7. When I mentioned to one of the security officers how much we liked seeing them out there, he told me at least one of them is stationed in the RV area as their "district" at any hour of the day or night. We returned at 2 am and 3 am sometimes and liked seeing security checking the restrooms and acknowledging what vehicles entered, such as the Uber/Lyft rides we took that were obviously not RVs. We felt 100% safe the entire three months we were here and none of the lawn furniture we kept outside were ever messed with. There are codes to enter the three restroom facilities on the property which you're given at check-in, so someone just wandering by can't get in. The restrooms were also clean and well maintained and appear to be cleaned throughout the day. One reason for less than five stars on here is the issue of the laundry facilities. During our entire three months here (January-April 2017), the laundry facilities were not operational. We were fortunate to have our own washer/dryer in our RV, but many were not and cut their stays short for this reason. This was unfortunate, because many nice people would have stayed longer. Another reason for less than five stars is that of the crappy wi-fi. Regardless of the time of day, it was unreliable. There is no reason for a business in this location to have as poor of wi-fi as this. We used our own hotspots the entire time we were there.
Some things we've missed since leaving: hearing the screaming riders on the Stratosphere's Big Shot - it's entertaining AF. When traffic is light and you're listening for it, you can hear the screams when the ride "launches" while you're outside. You seriously don't need a TV when that's going on heh. Another is being close walking distance to El Dorado Cantina, that place has THE best Mexican food on the strip and it's just a stone's throw from the RV Park (on the Sammy Davis, Jr. side). The location in general is what we miss the most. If you're into walking the strip or to the Fremont area downtown, you can't do better than here.
