I like this place. I have been to Las Vegas quite a few times. I have always stayed on the strip but this July 4th weekend we decided to stay here since everything was WAY too expensive. Even Luxor was in the $200. Our rate at Desert Rose was much lower than that. Who can beat that for a weekend? We didn't care if it was off strip because we rented a car and also we already had the vegas experience before. It's not like we were missing out on anything. In fact, I like the intimate settings yet it is not too far from strip. The value for this hotel is excellent. You get a 500 sq ft 1 bedroom. I like it....There is free breakfast even though not the best. But come on...free soft drinks and juice in the morning when you don't want to go too far.
