There are three kinds of people who come to Vegas: Strip people, off Strip people and Downtowners. Strip people HAVE to stay on the Strip or they think they are missing out. Off Strip people are perfectly fine not dealing with the Strip as most off Strip hotels run a shuttle to the Strip. The downtowners are a whole another animal that I will not get into here, but if you're a downtowner, you would NEVER even think about staying here.
That being said, this Worldmark resort is one of the best in the system. Roomy condos with large balconies overlooking the pools, a ton of activities, a lazy river and that all important shuttle that runs to the Strip on regular intervals (30-45 minutes) until 1.30 a.m. The area where the resort is has changed a lot since the resort opened. There is a whole new development called South Point that is super close and a great alternative to the madness of the Strip.
I don't always stay here when I head to Vegas, but it is definitely my first choice when I am with a group of people or when I am driving instead of flying. Having the extra space when you are with a bunch of people is a total bonus.
The only real complaint I have about this resort is the "owner updates", which is really a pep talk for you to make changes/upgrades to your ownership. They say it takes 45 minutes but that's a TOTAL LIE, expect at least and hour and a half. So whatever $100 tickets/dinner vouchers or whatever they do to bribe you to sit through their spiel better be worth it. You have been forewarned!!!
