My company booked my hotel room late. As a result, everyone else was at the Las Vegas Hilton while I was next door at the Grand Vacations. I was sorely disappointed when I saw what I was missing out on. At my hotel, the room was small, there wasn't any restaurant (just a convenience store), and I felt like I was miles away from any action because the hotel was so quiet.

Unless you are very fit or rent a car, thisis a greadful location. It costs $10.00/day per person
minimum to ride the monorail. Deli at HGV-La Vegas Hilton charges $3.00 for 1 ltr bottle
of Coke. Miserable experience...then we found out foreigners were upgraded from a studio
to 1 bedroom w/washer-dryer at no charge!!! Would NEVER stay here again. Whirlpool at
main pool didn't work for entire week.. Ice Machine on our floor didn't work and was never reapaired over the 1 week visit.

We were looking for a place to get some sun, warmth and just relax. We took the shuttle $12 RT from the Airport, very easy and convienent. Arrived at 10:30am and were given our room without any delays. The one bedroom is very spacious, king size bed is extremely comfortable. We really appreciated the little extras. Paper towels, dishwasher and dish soap, salt and pepper, they even had laundry soap. It is so nice to have those little extras to make our stay easier. We love to cook and found the full kitchen very well equiped, even a full size fridge.The pool chairs are some of the most comfortable you could ever want and as many towels as you needed. The security guard even brought us popsicles as we lounged. The staff are very friendly, especially the Bar Maiden, Everyone makes you feel so appreciated. They have two great gas barbeques next to the pool, we got steaks from the nearby market and griiled them up. You can the brabeque tools from the little deli. I read complaints about the thin walls, we certainly had no loud neighbors or any complaints about noise. We found it very quiet and peaceful. If your big into the gambling scene this may not be your place, you have to walk about 100 yards to the Hilton Hotel Casino ot hop the Monorail to all the big casinos. The free high speed internet worked great, very fast and even tech support for those like us that need all the help we can get. The business center has a set up to print your boarding passes free of charge.

We stayed here Sep 26 thru October 3rd. I had some issues with RCI and the name under which the reservation was made. I made the reservation myself, under my name, but RCI put it under my former husbands name. The hotel insisted on trying to call my former husband, while my partner stood there with me, to get 'clearance' that it was OK for me to check in. It was so embarassing. Then they tried to call RCI (which was CLOSED at the time). All this, despite the fact that I had the printed reservation with my name on it, which states that is the only thing required for check in. The hotel stated they did not go by that piece of paper. The whole process made me feel like I was some kind of criminal. In the end, they wound up checking me in based off the printed reservation I had...but they could have done that to begin with, or handled the situation a bit more discreetly.

Our room was a studio. It was pretty small. There were only two of us and we had a hard time finding a place for our clothes. There were only three drawers and a very small closet in the room. We also found a can full of trash. When I told the front desk, they recommended I empty it myself.

The hotel is located at the end of the strip. Its about a 15m walk to the monorail, which was convenient. Other than the trash, the room was clean. The pool was disappointing. The bar was literally a closet and was closed on Sunday-they gave the bartender the day of and the pool was full of people! Some folks we spoke to told us the pool at the HGV on the strip was much better, though not as quiet. The large hot tub was closed the entire time, but appeared to be in good working order. Only the small, three man hot tub was open for the duration of our stay.

We were placed next to a family with young screaming kids the first two days. After they checked out, it was much quieter.

The staff in the cafe/deli are really great and the food there wonderful.

The hotel was not too pushy w/ the time share presentation...I was only asked twice, which is way better than most places that pour the pressure on.

The next time I go to Vegas, I am going to try the HGV on the strip because its newer and the pool/bar service is better.
