4-years later and I wouldn't necessarily rate Grand Chateau "As Good As It Gets". Although, I will say the hotel doesn't seem as far off the strip now that City Center and The Comoplitan are in such close proximity! I recently spent the weekend here with a group of 7 girls. We opted for the 3-bdrm / 3bath Villa. When I arrived to the room I was a little surprised that it was broken into two separate villa's as opposed to one large suite (as it was described on the website). We essentially had a 2bdrm/2 baths villa and a second 1bdrm / 1bath room next door. Everything ended up working out fine, but it would have been great if the specs were outlined in detail on the website.
This is still a great non-gaming / smoking hotel option - especially for large groups. Having the luxury of a full kitchen and dining room is most definitely a cost saver in Vegas. The Valet dudes were AWESOME! I forgot something in my car and the guy literally ran like the speed of light to grab it for me. Aside from Valet - the rest of the staff was average. Major downside is that checkout is at 10am:( Not sure if this was a high occupancy week, but getting an extra 60-minutes was like pulling teeth!
