| - Not going to lie maybe I'm biased because I'm one of those suckers that bought into the timeshare, I know I know lets here it people its the biggest rip off, scam, cast your stones... I'd probably shake your hand 2 years ago and say thank you now please reiterate that to my other half that had me purchase it. But after having it for 2 years, I have to say its allowed me to stay in some great places that aren't Vegas, but regardless I'm not here to talk about the timeshare shenanigans, I totally agree its annoying as hell, and they pressure you from hell and back.
So finally I got to use my actual timeshare home resort, Grandview in the flesh. The rooms were actually a little more updated than I remembered buying into not to mention there were three additional buildings, holy hell on the growth. The room had ample space for myself and my 4 other family members that attended. On arrival they let me check in early, gave me a bunch of South Point coupon discount booklets, which is so conveniently located within walking distance next door. Yes, its not located on the main strip but this worked out great for my folks, who actually enjoyed not having to deal with the hustle and bustle of the strip. They do offer a shuttle service to the strip though, unfortunately cannot remember the times it runs, but I believe its 8 bucks for day use.
Room was equipped with plenty of linens to last our 4 day stay, and anything else additional we required the housekeeping was more than willing to provide, my mom was all over the additional laundry soap, she loved the idea of being able to bring a small amount of clothes and the luxury of washing them in the room. The jet tub also won over my mom's heart, yes I was kind enough even though being the owner I gave my parents the private room and enjoyed the pull out couch bed which surprisingly enough was very comfy.
The pools are open till midnight, that was a plus in my book! I also noticed they have a small miniature golf set up behind the Family pool (this is the pool with the kids water playground).
Definitely a great family resort that offers peace and relaxation at a nice distance from the nightlife shenanigans and banter that is Las Vegas.
