| - I understand some folks have negative reviews for the timeshare sales aspect of this place, but I bought off of expedia so I can't comment on that part. Yet, I have pretty extensive knowledge of timeshares and such. My review will be helpful in comparison to other timeshare places in Las Vegas. I have stayed at the different Worldmark places, Pacific Grand Monarch, Shell Vacation Club, and Tahiti Village in Vegas. (closest one to the strip is Desert Rose, Shell Vacations)
Bluegreen, like all places, has pros and cons. One more note is that I much prefer big, apartment style rooms as I now travel with my small family and like to have a kitchen, washer/dryer, full fridge, etc.
Bluegreen is next to the airport, which I did not find to be a con. My son and I love watching planes take-off and land. The airport seems to halt flights after 10, and begin flights at 7am....it's not a 24 hour airport....but you may need to double-check that.
Bluegreen pool is indoors. This isn't a con either, even though I don't like indoor pools, because it clearly states in Bluegreen's literature that their pool is indoors. I knew going in, so I can't really complain.
PROS--Nice rooms. They stack up well with the other major players in the timeshare industry. I loved the shower....the room actually had two showers. The room I got had a king size bed and a pull-out couch bed. Fridge, stove, washer/dryer, worked well. Not too far from the strip either, as nowadays I like to take a break from the strip and retire to a quiet room.
CONS-While the rooms were big, their pool was small. Bluegreen does not stand up well with it's resort amenities. Tahiti village has a huge pool and a lazy river, worldmark also has both. Pacific Grand Monarch also has a huge pool with water slides. Shuttle service was terrible. Small shuttles. Also, my wife had to wait extra time because BOTH shuttle drivers were on lunch. Having worked in the hospitality business I know that you stagger the lunches so this does not happen. A big CON was that at check-in I requested a room that overlooked the airport. I was told that there was a room available and that it would just have to be cleaned. Fast forward two hours and I was told there was no such room available. Terrible customer service there. A minor con was that there was not a channel guide for the TV.
All in all, it was not a bad stay. I would stay here again if it was just my wife and I. If I'm bringing kids, I'd go with Tahiti Village. Also, I'd never buy into a timeshare again....but if I did, I'd recommend Worldmark.
