Older but good WorldMark Property
SITREP
When I hit the Viva Las Vegas (VLV) events in Las Vegas that fall in or around Easter Weekend of each year, do I stay at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino or The Orleans where all the VLV events take place?
NO. I utilize my WorldMarky by Wyndham membership and I stay at either this property or the WorldMark on Las Vegas Blvd.
SETUP
Just off of Flamingo Road a couple miles down from the strip, this WorldMark property is nestled on Spencer Street and is perfect for those couples and families looking for a more quiet spot away from the Casinos, the hookers, and the agents of chaos on the strip throwing porn in your face.
I would definitely this establishment a great family spot to recreate. Which is why I am NOT too crazy with the location because I DO want to be near the Casinos, and the hookers, and the agents of chaotic porn. But me - the single-guy - IS here with all the cute families because this is the spot that I get to use my WorldMark credits to redeem for what has turned out to be an EXCEPTIONAL 2-bedroom suite residence - with full on kitchen, dining area, huge master bath and closet space you can only imagine.
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.
