I thought the resort was nice - way above your average hotel room. But I was was one of the unfortunate people to sign up for the timeshare presentation. I thought it would be an in-and-out sort ordeal once I expressed that I was uninterested. I was very VERY wrong. It was the biggest waste of TWO HOURS of my life, ever. I was forced to do a "travel planner" list (it was basically like doing homework), and then when I finally suffered through the entire presentation they sent me to another person for me to "check out" with - it ended being ANOTHER sales person with another pitch. WTF!! I have had a root canal done before and I don't remember it being as painful as the experience I had. The people were rude (sales lady had me waiting around for 15 min maybe while she took a cig break?!?), and I even told them I was missing a football game. I hope these sales reps get a real job and a real life.

This is my second time staying here during Christmas. What I like about this place is that it is not on the strip which can be very noisy. I also like that there isn't a casino in the lobby. So if that is what you are looking for, you shouldn't stay here because you will be one of those complaining people I hate reading reviews from.

+s - Kitchen, dvd player in living room, jacuzzi tub, washer/dryer

-s - small fitness center, WiFi charge, not close to anything, parking

I like the fact that I can take my time getting up, make breakfast in the morning, and lounge around in my pajamas. The floor I was on was relatively quiet and I seldom heard anything from the people above. It was funny that some of the people I encountered were not very friendly given the time of the year. Since this is a timeshare, I also felt some thought they were "somebody."

The fitness center was crowded so I opted to join Gold's Gym which is about 4 miles away on Flamingo and Sandhill and open 24 hours. One week-$35-go as many times as you want. Since it is buffet city here, I went quite often.

There was a charge to use the WiFi in your room. There was a computer room which was also small. However, when the room was closed, WiFi was available for free in the hallway, so bring your laptop. I went around 6 am and no one was there. There's a nice couch to sit on.

The location is about 4 blocks from the strip in one dirction and the Hard Rock Hotel from the other. If you don't mind walking, go for it. They do provide a shuttle to Harrah's which is great. I think the last shuttle from the casino is either 10 pm or midnight. The sign was a little unclear. If you have a car, great! Parking at Harrah's is free and centrally located. Also, getting around is not that bad if you stay on Paradise road. The strip during busy times can take forever.

There were a lot of cars this time so if you are coming back late, you might not find a parking space. One night I got in at 2 am, but was lucky. A few seconds later, I don't know where I would have parked as a car rolled in after me.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will stay here again. It's like a home away from home. It's beginning to show a little wear and tear. Didn't take any pictures this time, but it looks a little like the property from Waikiki, but not as nice, since this one is older.

This was my 3rd time staying there. I had a 1 bedroom deluxe with jacuzzi. Very nice, large and basically a 1 bedroom apartment with everything you would associate with that.

I stayed at Wyndham Grand Desert for a week & I have to say it was better than expected. I stayed there with 2 friends & had a standard 1 bedroom apartment.
The king size bed was very comfortable for my friend & I to share & my other friend slept on the sofa bed. The sofa bed was not so comfortable but was ok to sleep on.
All the bedlinen was clean.

The apartment was fully kitted out with all the cutlery & pots & pans though we never used it.
Its a pity that they never had compliplmentary tea bags though there was ample coffee for the coffee filter however we are tea drinkers!!!

The bathroom was a decent size for all of us to leave our toiletries on the vantity unit. Shower was powerful which was great to have.
There were plenty towels in the bathroom however I think Wyndham need to take note & replace them with a new set, the towels had there day & were fraying at the sides & looked pretty warn out. Buy some new towels for the resort!!!!!

The bathroom had the standard toilet & bath soap, shampoo & conditioner. There isnt a daily cleaning service in the apartment but they do come midweek to clean up & give you fresh towels. The option is there for a daily clean for a fee.

Check In & Check out was easy & quick. We only used the shuttle bus once as we had hired a car but it turns up on time and does run from Hurrahs until 11.30pm back to the resort.

We never used the pool or hot tubs but my friend put her her hand in the pool one evening & the water was warm so even in the cold if you really fancied it, you could take a swim.

I used the internet facilty in Tower 2 - 3rd floor often, which was super fast. There is free use for 30 minutes & you can print out upto 10 pages free. Thereafter 10cents per page.

I have to say reading some of the previous reviews, I was concerned that i may get harrassed from the sales people, but not once was I approached, however did get a call from someone at reception for a chat but we never were in the apartment during the day much to return the call to ask what their call was about.

All in all it was a comfortable place though the corrindor carpets do need a change. If there was availability I would have preferred the 1 bed deluxe or the 2 bed apartment as the sofa bed not comfortable enough & a little old.
