| - If you're looking for a quiet, off-the-strip hotel, this place would be perfect for you. If you're looking for a happening Vegas resort, with crazy pool parties and spring breakers, this would not be the place for you.
This resort is set up like a condominium timeshare property. There is the club house at the front of the property which contains the front desk, concierge, etc. There are then a bunch of other buildings where the guest rooms are located. This resort has quite a number of pools, almost one for every building, and they are open 24/7. The crowd seemed to be in the 50-70 range for the most part, with a few families here and there.
The rooms are newly renovated. They have full kitchens, living areas, and smallish bedrooms. Some rooms also have balconies. The rooms are nice, but nothing spectacular. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and professional. I felt welcomed.
I do have a few complaints though. I don't appreciate the gimmick at check-in where they give you a "$20 certificate" to be used on the strip for shows. They give it to you at the check-in desk, and then direct you to another desk, where you are then directed to yet another desk. Essentially they give you a minor discount on shows if you agree to listen to their timeshare sales pitch. Trust me, not worth it. When they give you the $20 certificate, acknowledge it with a smile, and then drop it off in the trash on the way out.
Also, there aren't any elevators in the buildings. So if you have a lot of luggage, and are located on a higher floor, good luck! Not to mention the heat.
But anyways, if you are traveling with a family this place would be ideal. It's fairly inexpensive and there are plenty of pools and plenty of space in the rooms. You are off the strip and away from all of the crazy drunkenness that comes along with it. And if you want to visit the strip, it's only a 5 minute walk away.
