I echo the previous review by Heidi about this Las Vegas property. I am also a Shell owner and this was my first time to the Desert Rose. I agree the photos on the website make it look more high-end than it really is. While the property and room were clean, the room was a little drab and is in need of updating. The bathroom tub did not drain properly and the bathroom itself is in need of a complete renovation.
The location of the resort is convenient, located at the south end of the strip, near to Hooters and the Tropicana and across from MGM Grand. The pool was crowded when we were here in June and we basically only used the room to sleep anyway. Staff were nice and competent, however the concierge on duty was a joke and not helpful at all.
