A Nice Modern WorldMark Property Located South of the Vegas Strip
SITREP
This one of two different properties that I will usually make a reservation at when I hit the Viva Las Vegas (VLV) events in Las Vegas.
This usually coincides with Easter Weekend. I prefer the quality and the size of the suites of these locations in contrast to staying at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino or The Orleans where all the VLV events are scheduled.
SETUP
A few miles south of the strip, this WorldMark property is has a lot of amenities you would also find at the larger hotels, such as a large pool, jacuzzis, and club house with weight room, and lot of other cool things. What I like about staying in either one of the really neat studios, or the 1 or 2 or 3 bedroom sized rooms here is that they all have a full-sized kitchen and a living room that makes entertaining guests at my place a definite plus for after-hour decompression.
And there's nothing better than using the free WiFi out by the pool which is a definite plus.
MEMBERSHIP LOGISTICS
Usually, I don't even have to pay the housekeeping credit because March/April is the first time in the credit-cycle that I reserve a spot. But if actually further down the queue then the housekeeping credit only amounts to about $70 for an entire weeks stay. Mind you, I'm still making monthly payments on Wydham membership contract, so it's not like the housekeeping fee is the only cost, and there is the quarterly maintenance dues too.
I have to admit some confusion as to whether or not it is appropriate in this review to point out the weekly minimum reservation, even if I am only going to be here 3-4 nights. But there you have it - I'll will reserve the week-minimum even if I am only going to be here half that time. I feel like I am wasting my "credits-time", but I think I still am getting a better experience than being cooped up in a less quality strip-hotel.
THE LOWDOWN
If you like having a TOP RATE facility available to you to stay in while you are in Las Vegas, this place fills that bill rather nicely. It's a bit off the strip, but a manageable distance when options such as the facility shuttle, or the local LV Metro Bus is taken into consideration.
