| - I just returned from my bachelorette party in Vegas. A group of us 6 girls shared a 2 bedroom suite (which really just ended up being two adjoining rooms w/ a door between them) for a nice long 4 day weekend. There were many things I really like about the Tahiti and a few things I could have done with out. First I would say that this place is perfect for families and older couples wanting a get away... not quite as perfect for the younger crowd (we're all in our 20's)... but the price was right and the place looked amazing so we booked the trip. I'm just going to go through our experience as a list of Pros and Cons:
Pros:
* Clean & spacious rooms w/ all the amenities you would need (except the washer/dryer couldn't dry our clothes and they had to be packed in our suitcases damp)
* The beds were amazingly comphy and so nice to come "home" to every night after hitting the town.
* The pools & pool areas are well maintained and really nice
* You can BYOB to the pools as long as it's not in a glass container (HUGE plus over going to a hotel on the strip and paying $12 for cocktails at the pool)
* There is a Denny's attached to the hotel... proved useful when needing late night drunk food. There are also several cheap options in walking distance (less that .25 mi) such as Outback Steakhouse, Chipotle, Mc Donalds, Panda Express ect.
Cons:
* Check in isn't until 4pm- I requested an early check-in... our room was ready a whopping 45 minutes early - they made NO effort to make our request a priority. Big thumbs down.
* The staff proved to be pretty worthless in assisting us in the few needs that we had... it's very apparent that you're not worth much effort if they can't count on your to buy a timeshare. Be prepared for daily (at least) calls to your room inviting you down for timeshare sales pitches.
* The pool closes on Saturdays at 4pm for a Tiki party that you have to pay $30 to go to as a guest of the hotel... so if you're hoping to have a nice relaxing pool day past 4pm... forget it.
* The lazy river is really nice... but you have to PAY to rent the tubes... $5 charged to the room per tube... kind of lame.
* The shuttle fills up everytime it pulls up to the hotel, and it will only take you to New York, New York or the Mirage.. that's it. It also stops running early in the night, so if you plan on not hitting the town till after 11 OR not coming back from the Strip until AFTER 11... you'll have to catch a cab... which can be hell at some of the hot spots (up to an 1.5 hour wait at one of the places we left)
* There are NO young people at this resort... we kept joking that we were staying at the old folks home. But that part of it wasn't a big deal, we had a really nice, relaxing time... but there were no young people in sight.
All in all we had a great time in Vegas, and the Tahiti Village was a nice place to retire to after each night on the strip. We saved a bundle on the HUGE suite, and saved a chunk of $ with the BYOB at the pool and the full kitchen in the room allowed us to make our own hangover breakfast instead of wasting money (and guilt) at the Denny's next door. It's a great, quiet place to relax while in Vegas, would be ideal for families & older couples... be we still managed to have a pretty awesome time there too.
