I usually find myself here when I'm staying with the parents in their timeshare. I find the Wyndham Grand Desert much nicer than expected, even when it was a Fairfield. And that makes sense, now that I know (from Susan's review) that it was designed by the person who designed Bellagio.
We usually stay here in the colder months so I haven't ventured into the pool. The interior of our 3 bedroom suite is especially luxe with a contemporary feel.
LOVE that it doesn't have a casino. I'm not much of a gambler anyway, but it's makes for a nice and quiet hotel experience. Shuttles to the Strip make going to a casino relatively easy, and Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock are only short walks away. The location on Koval and Harmon provide for stunning views of the Strip if you get a north facing room.
The activities room, happy hour snacks and Internet/computer center were also bonus.
