We stayed at the Holiday Inn Desert Club resort over the President's Day wknd. My wife agreed to a 3-night stay + "tour" (timeshare presentation) a while back so I was a bit apprehensive about the stay. It turned out fine though. The property itself is decent. Supposedly it's newly renovated and are still in the process of being upgraded/renovated. We didn't really walk around the facility much but there's plenty of parking and several pools. The room we were in was pretty nice and pretty spacious, although it seems the walls are a bit thin or not that well insulated (we could hear the people above us walking around at times). The property is within walking distance of the Strip and offers shuttle service (usually once every hour for most hours of the day). We ended up not utilizing the shuttle at all (the hourly schedule wasn't flexible enough for us), so we found ourselves walking most of the time. Certain areas we walked by off Flamingo Rd seemed kinda seedy but I wasn't too concerned as we saw a few police officers occasionally riding bikes around.
We did the timeshare presentation on Saturday morning - I heard it was pretty low pressure, and I think that's pretty much true. I agree that it was low pressure but they were a bit aggressive - we said we were not interested multiple times and they kept probing (nicely) and even had a manager come out to try to convince us. Anyway, we got through it and got our "gift" ($200 cash back).
Note: since these are timeshare units, housekeeping will cost you extra if you need/want it. Otherwise, be prepared to live without it during your stay.
