| - WorldMark Las Vegas - Tropicana Avenue is a really great time share. Their lobby is full of welcoming staff...even at 10pm, if your checking in that late. Quick check-in at the counter where they have you sign in, hand you room keys, and a little handy map of the property. They show you exactly where your room is on the map. Then you are directed to a separate concierge counter just a few steps away for your parking pass, shuttle schedule (to Von's and the strip), and set up your complimentary dinner/show (so many choices) and breakfast (at the presentation building). You can purchase discounted tickets ahead of time but I'm not sure how that works.
Parking was always available right in front our unit. So glad we were on the first floor in between a BBQ area and jacuzzi. Security is very visible and it's nice to know this place is concerned about your safety.
Loved our unit: high kitchen counter top with seating, dining room, hallway closet (with pillows, hangers, iron w/ board, mini vacuum, and sweeper), living room with a TV and drawers for your guests' clothes (pull down Murphy bed behind the couch), stackable washer and dryer with 2 packets of laundry detergent, elegant bathroom (bars of soap, hair dryer; with extra towels, toilet paper, and facial tissue box under the sink), and a large beautiful bed in the bedroom (TV, full length mirror, drawers, walk-in closet with hangers).
Kitchen: fully furnished with cooking utensils & measuring bowls, BBQ cooking utensils, chopping board with knives & scissors, pots/pans, dishwasher & dishwashing detergent, dish towels, coffee and tea packets with condiments and coffee filters, kitchen appliances (coffee maker, blender, stove, oven, microwave, full-size refrigerator), seasonings (garlic, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper), dishes/bowls/silverware/cups/wine glasses, paper towels, sponge, dishwashing liquid soap, and recycling bag. Geez...the only things we needed to bring were food and drinks.
The only problem was the outlets were awkwardly located nowhere near the furniture if you needed to charge your phone and set on the nightstand or table.
Their quaint gym is located around the corner from the concierge counter. Small towels and water dispenser are inside the gym underneath the TV; bring your own water bottle. We had an issue with the A/C but maintenance visited within minutes of notifying staff. They do have vending machines, arcade games, TV lounge, computers, little convenient store (t-shirts, purses, sunblock, etc.), ATM, bathrooms, and a pool table ($1 to play) located in the lobby.
We did attend a presentation with free breakfast...yummy French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and beverages. I'm guessing the free tickets and breakfast were only available if you attended the presentation and consultation...so be aware. The dinner/show voucher is given to you upon exiting the presentation building after your consultation.
You can call the front desk to get you a cab and they are on top of it; or you can wait for the free shuttle which is every 20 minutes to the strip. The cabs come from The Orleans and arrive within 5 minutes. Always bring cash for your cab ride; the cab driver might not know how to print a receipt for your credit card transaction or might not be able to verify the credit card transaction.
Please make sure to trade in your voucher at least 2 hours before the show at the actual dinner/show location.
The pool is where kids rule; large blue-striped beach towels are provided in the pool area. There are spas throughout the property...one was right on the other side of our building. So serene that we ended up spending a few hours just relaxing in the spa.
You can ask any of the staff in the lobby or at the presentation for tips or must-sees in Las Vegas and they are more than happy to oblige. One employee mentioned the signature Verbana drink at the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino. It was awesome!
It's the desert and we did find one little earwig crawling on our sheets...but that didn't ruin our stay. Check-out was easy: just drop off your room keys with the front desk staff and you're done.
The comforts of home just minutes away from the strip. Our first time at this wonderful place and we were already planning our next trip while driving back to OC.
