| - Ok, I giving it a 4 star for value and overall hotel qualities. Only if you do the timeshare sales deal, and say NO! It is then a value for sure.
Very nice 4 star type full one bedroom with two rooms. The entrance is into a massive living room kitchen combo. Has a full kitchen with all appliances and stocked with dishes for four. Has in-room washer and dryer. Large screen TVs in both the living room and bedroom. Our room and a large spa/Jacuzzi also. The bathroom is separate and very nice. Marble counters and tiled shower. It is a quality 4-star room.
Front desk personnel were extremely nice and courteous. We also had no problem ever getting a cab as the front bell person called one up which was waiting every time we needed one.
Ok, here is the deal we got, which for Las Vegas for this quality is nothing short of "fantastic".
We got the 4 days/3nights for the one bedroom for $199. You have to go on the 2 hour timeshare tour, but hey, it is worth it. At the end of the tour, we got $100 voucher for real chips at the Las Vegas Hilton. So, for a total of only $99, we got three nights in a pretty spiffy room. That would be $33/night which is the best deal on the strip, for sure.
At the end of the tour you have to say no to buying something 3 times. Yes, its scuzy and the timeshare sales folks act and talk like they are from another planet. What morons. But, we just sat through it and smiled and said no. Somehow they throw all these "facts" at you, and then come up with a ridiculous price. We were listening and all of a sudden, we were offered a unit in Orlando? WTF? Did I miss something here? We decided they were trying to offload the units down there due to the economy. When we asked how much a unit in Vegas is, the run around was hilarious. Our sales lady had to get the "manager" who was some 28 year old punk with a book full of prices. They kept telling us how special it was just to be able to quote something in Vegas (in reality, the 2nd Tower in this unit is only 12% sold out). What BS from goonies. It is the worst buy of real estate of all time if you purchase one from the developer. If you are really interested, go to the timeshare resales sites and see the special $42,500 timeshares for sale by the owners (who were duped into buying at the presentations) for sale for $20,000 and sometimes less. Amazing.
Anyway, that's the deal. If you have a hankering to go to Las Vegas on the cheap, this is a great way to stay in a quality property.
Caution: it is located on the far north strip. Not walking distance to any of the major casinos (Venetian, Palazzo, Mirage, Mandalay Bay). Need to take taxi or bus to all.
