We decided to spend Christmas in Las Vegas with our three daughters, ages 17, 15 and 10. As owners at the Grand Desert, we have stayed a few times with friends in the past. The pool area is great, and heated in the winter! I also appreciated all the holiday decor, and activities for children related to the season.
This resort is perfect when traveling with children to Las Vegas. It is only a couple of blocks from the strip- which is perfect if you are a parent concerned about staying in the heart of Sin City with the kids. The buildings are non-smoking and there is not a casino on site. Basically, we could escape the hype in only a few minutes. If you do not rent a car, you can take the free shuttle which stops in front of all three towers.
The unit provided plenty of space for our family, with full kitchen, living area and privacy as needed. We had reserved the two bedroom penthouse- I highly recommend requesting a room in tower 3. The newest tower offers many suites with strip views. The layouts are more spacious as well.
I will report, however, that the ongoing maintenance of this resort is slightly slipping. I noticed, for example, that replacement fixtures, etc are not up to par with the original design. I expect a bit more wear and tear in town that never sleeps, yet I hope Wyndham takes care to keep their properties consistent with the original upscale attempt.
Many other travelers have complained of the high pressure Wyndham sales pitch. Over the years, I have learned to simply say "No Thank You". If you find this difficult, then I do not recommend staying at any timeshare location.
