"This place was great! I came here with a few friends. We got a good deal on what I would call an apartment but I guess some people call them villas and some people call them resorts. It was my friend's birthday so 5 of us stayed together at Desert Palace in a place that had two bedrooms a laundry room a full kitchen and dinning room and two bathrooms and a living room with a pull out bed. And it had a patio but the cars were loud so we didn't use it. we spent a lot of time at the pool and they provide huge bbq's at the pool if you want to throw a big party and grill up a bunch of stuff. They also didn't have any problem with us bringing alcohol out there. They had an adult pool and a kid pool. The kid pool was bigger and more of a family pool but you could use either side. They also had nice tvs in the rooms which we barely used cause we were having fun elsewhere.\n\nWe had an upset on the first night, our power shorted out in one bedroom and one bathroom. This was not unbearable but it was a minor inconvenience. We notified the office and they offered us a new unit but we had already FULLY moved in for the week so we really didn't want to move. They said they'd have someone come out to fix it the next day. I'm amazing and I bring candles with me everywhere so we were completely fine. If anything the room I had with my girlfriend was just more romantic than it would've been before and that was just a gift really.\n\nThe next day we woke up and made breakfast, there were tons of stores close by and we bought groceries to make all our meals. One thing I will complain about is the TWO BUCK CHUCK! In Vegas TWO BUCK CHUCK is actually FOUR BUCK CHUCK! I WAS SO MAD!!!!! I made a point of finding a Trader Joes only to be told that my wine was more expensive for no reason.. eh. whateva.\n\nWhen we found out the lights weren't going to be fixed again they really wanted us to move but we insisted that moving could ruin our week, we were going to be out at the strip all day and didn't want to deal with it. They offered to send people over to move everything but that sounded odd so we said no.\n\nThe next day they fixed the lights :) but then they broke again sometime before we left, hahahahaha. The reason I give a five star is because, not only did they offer to switch us, they also offered to help us move, and after all that they took about $100 off of our stay which made our week RIDICULOUSLY INEXPENSIVE for how great it was! We stayed in an amazing place where it was very comfortable and we could be loud and the pool was great, we had tvs we had more than one bathroom we had our own laundry machines and a big kitchen, all for a really inexpensive price. With the refund they gave us the apartment almost felt free :)\n\nI would stay here again at the price that we paid before the discount. This was a great little oasis away from the strip. I like staying in Vegas without having to stay on the strip. It's funner on the outskirts where life moves slower and there aren't so many drunks hitting on you and throwing up on the sidewalk.\n\nThe only downside if you stay during the week. If you want to use the family pool at night they might kick you out after 10 because some people staying there are whiners and can't stand other people having fun! We got asked to switch pools around 10:50 so we knew someone in a room must've complained that we were laughing in the hot tub. All I can say is, shame on those old fuddy duddies for raining on my parade!"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "2012-09-08T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
