| - I'm pricing my return to Vegas in the summer and just cant seem to fork over the amount of money it will cost to stay at one of the nicer hotels on the strip. Sure they are really nice and chic but I plan to stay for 5 days and will be taking multiple vacations this year.
I stayed in a 1 bedroom suite (Rosemary Building) in November for FREE and would actually pay to stay again!
Why would I choose to stay here instead of being directly on the strip?
Reason #1
Simple, the cost. Many people have timeshares they rent here. They usually go from 550$-650$ for the WEEK! Yes folks, 7 days! I know most people don't stay here that long but you have the option. That's a 2 night stay at the Cosmo and many other hotels.
There's a ton to do in Vegas and IMO you cant do it all in 2-3 days.
Reason #2
This resort is literally 5 minutes from the strip, 10-15 minutes from the airport, a 5 minute walk to the South Point Casino, 5 minutes from Walmart/shopping, and 4 hours from Californian beaches lol. Its near pretty much everything you could want. Close enough to all the action but you still have piece of mind when you return to your room.
Reason #3
Its clean, has a large full kitchen, large bathroom, comfortable bed, updated decor, pullout sleeper in the living room, LCD tv's, and a "home feel." The grounds are also very clean and there is security in the front of the premises.
We cooked breakfast nearly every morning and even made dinner once. There's plenty of silverware, cups, plates, and anything else one would need. If you'd rather not cook on vacation, you can walk over to the South Point and enjoy some super cheap eats! Prefer something fancier? Drive to the Ihop 10 minutes down or back to the strip. There are plenty of places to eat near the Grandview. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Cons
If you're looking for something "sexy" or "hip" this may not be the place. Its very family friendly and slow paced. I have absolutely no issues with that. I just wish the gym area was a bit more updated. There are no free weights and the machines are pretty dated.
-No free wifi
Really not that big of a deal because I used the hotspot on my phone.
I really enjoyed my stay in November and will more than likely return this year. If you'd like to save money for all that Vegas has to offer, this is your spot! I'd definitely recommend this for those on a budget and those with children.
P.S.
EVERYTHING is cheap at the South Point. Take advantage of it. Its not the sexiest casino but you can have a good time there. I definitely had my doubts but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Even shot dice with Flavor Flav lol! 5$ tables booooooooooyyyyyyy!
