| - So, the Grand Wyndham Resort is a very Bittersweet place. First, let's go over the Pros.
+: Great Bang for your Buck. You get a very nice place for not a lot of money.
+: Staff is extremely courteous, and make a point to help you whenever you need it.
+: Shuttles to the Strip, if needed. (@ 15 Minutes)
+: Pool area is awesome. I counted 3 pools and 2 hot tubs.
+: Hotel Bar, with drink specials every day from 4-7pm. Look to spend, ballpark range, 7 to 10 bucks for a drink -- a little less then you'll find on the Strip.
+: Refrigerator, Microwave, Oven, Toaster, Silverware, Drinks -- you get a full kitchen. Awesome stuff.
And now, the Bad Stuff:
-: Decor leaves something to be desired. This isn't an IKEA commercial with modern Black and White furnishings. Expect to see some circa 1970 furniture, with horrible, horrible paintjobs. I got a headache walking down the hallway looking at the wallpaper and flooring. Maybe it was because I was drunk, but I think it was the decor, haha.
-: You're a good mile from the strip. I didn't mind the walk, but a 10 dollar taxi ride each way can get pricey if you're not in the mood to move your legs.
-: (-1 Star) The Internet here was atrocious. Now, granted, I know you're here to gamble and see shows, but I have a fulltime tech job I need to be connected to the Net for, even on Time off. Look for Max Speeds in the Ballpark Range of ~70 KB/s, which is horrible for Hotel WiFi, as well as periodic drops of connection. There were periods of several hours where I had to drop / reconnect to the WiFi every 5-10 Minutes.
-: (-1 Star) The plumbing here is horrible. I'm a big fan of the hot tub that was in my 2 bedroom suite. For some reason, after filling up the tub, turning on the jets and relaxing for 30 minutes, I would pull the plug. Guess what would happen? All the other drains in the room -- the bathroom drain, the shower drain, everything -- would spew forth this foul smelling black water that smelled like doodie. So, weigh the Pros and Cons of having an in-House hot tub -- sure, you get the relaxation part, but your room smells like a turd for 10 minutes afterwards. Gross, Wyndham. Seriously guys, gross.
All in all, a semi-enjoyable experience. I would recommend this for what I would call "A Baller on a Budget" -- looking to visit, and wanting to cut some corners on where you're staying? Stay off the strip and get a full kitchen so you can cook some of your own meals.
Wyndham, you are awesomely mediocre. I'll come back, but I'm staying away from your poopie hot tub.
