| - There is really nothing remarkable about this place. It is nice but kind of old. Kept up pretty well but it could use some work. We had a two bedroom unit towards the back. Nice and quiet but only 150 feet or so to the pool. Unit is nice. Has a full size washer and dryer. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen just had the basics. Dishes, glasses for 4 and a blender, coffee pot and a couple of other cooking pots. No filters for the coffee pot so bring your own. Also no salt and pepper so bring those or go buy them here. Soap for one load of laundry is provided
Old tube type tv's, (No HD here!)
Nothing really bad though and the staff was helpful. Check in is 4PM. I wouldn't recommend trying to check in early unless you are just renting for a night or two. If you are staying for a week like we did they take your phone number and say they will call you when the room is ready and at 4PM I went to check on our room and the paperwork was on the desktop and the desk clerk gave me the (We were just going to call you) line. Ya sure, you betcha. Anyway. This place has a great location. Just go east on Flamingo and in 5 minutes you are at Caesars Palace. You are 5 minutes from an Albertson's, (Jones and Tropicana) Walmart (Spring Mountain Rd and S Rainbow Blvd) and there is a Smiths which is just like a Ralph's or QFC just down the street at Jones and Flamingo. At Jones and Flamingo (about 1,000 ft) there is the Smiths, an Arby's, US bank, Shell Gasoline, a couple of Restaurants, (Jackson's has a $12.95 16 oz Rib Eye and cheap beer) and a 7-11 for odds and ends.
So the location is great, the place felt secure as the entrance is guarded and the property is fenced.. The pool is very nice surrounded by palm and pine trees so there is some shade. Pool towels are provided.
Wifi is available for $39 a week and the signal is pretty fast. Only one computer at a time is allowed on your account so if you try to surf using wifi on your smart phone instead of data while the laptop is on you are out of luck. Now if you could add software to turn your laptop into a Hotpoint then everyone in your party could surf at the same time. Just something to thjink about.
their "business Center" is just a computer and printer by the front desk. You pay by the minute and $.50 per page to print so you had better figure at least $5 just to log on and print your boarding pass. There is also an ATM there but they charge $.50 to access your cash.
All in all I would recommend this place. Don't have real high expectations and you will have a great time. Just plan on having a room with no view and no deck. There are only a few rooms that over look the pool so don't count on getting one. other wise, close the drapes and go have fun.
