I want to preface this by saying that I have not actually stayed here. Now before Yelp decides to flag this, I want to explain why I am rating this place. I actually attended a timeshare presentation and this was one of the resorts being pitched by the timeshare company. They pitched this one because I indicated I liked to go to Vegas.
The timeshare company "Pacific Monarch" pitched this place as heaven on earth and would be worth paying like $30,000 so I could stay here and there other resorts. BS. Did some research on this place so I can make sure that no one else falls for this scam or worse actually books this place to stay off a site like Expedia or Hotwire, etc.
1.) This "resort" is 6 miles south of Mandalay Bay. You are farther away from the beginning of the strip than the Stratosphere is from Mandalay Bay.
2.) There is no shuttle to take you to The Strip. Vegas taxis ain't cheap and do you really want to take the bus on your vacation?
3.) Was curious to see how prices stack up on an off-peak weekday.
Was quoted $159 for a small outdated looking 1 bedroom "Villa" on Pacifc Monarch's site. For $159 and less you could stay at the following Strip Resorts:
Bellagio or Nobu ($159)
Palazzo or Venetian ($149)
Wynn ($139)
Encore ($132)
Aria ($114)
The Signature at MGM Grand or Vdara ($99)
Caesars Palace ($95)
Trump ($90)
The Hotel at Mandalay Bay ($85)
Tropicana ($71)
Mirage ($69)
Planet Hollywood ($67)
Mandalay Bay ($65)
TI ($62)
MGM and Paris ($60)
So same price or less for better accommodations, not having to spend money on transportation, and actually getting to be in Vegas not Vegas Adj. So please people do research, there are many, many better options on in Vegas than this.
