We usually stay directly on the strip, but for the value, this was great. Our 1 bedroom room was beautiful, newly decorated and huge with a full kitchen. We didn't use it, nor the pool, but we certainly appreciated having them both for the next time, especially the "adult only" pool. The one-bedroom/full kitchen could easily handle 4 adults with one couple in the hideabed in the living room. The bathroom had a LARGE shower with a toilet, but then there was a separate bath area with another vanity/mirror and a jacuzzi tub.

As with many timeshares, there are lots of annoying salespeople. I know they need to make money, too, but the way they do it is VERY tricky. First they convince you that you have to have a "pass" to use the van to go to the strip--so that's why they tell you you have to go over to the "host" desk which of course is really a salesperson. You don't need a pass at all, and if anyone asks, you can just tell them you lost it and show your room key instead. Luckily, we read a Trip Advisor review and avoided the whole thing. But we still got a call giving us a guilt trip that this poor woman had to "meet" with us for her "job" and she'd get in trouble. We still said no, lied and said we already met with someone, and she was obviously annoyed with us. But after that one call, we were never called again. Here's a tip: the pick ups are EITHER at the front, or the back, and as far as we could tell came about every 1/2 hour or 20 minutes. I'd advise taking a cab BACK from the strip when you come back in the evening---it's still really hot in the summer and it gets so busy you have to wait OR one night, it had to end its stop somewhere else, so we all had to take a cab back.

All in all, a great timeshare resort with relatively easy access to the strip--but definitely not walking access.

We bought a week of their timeshare off of my parents so we got a real good deal $223/week. Suggest you find someone you could buy from too. We arrived early and asked if we could get into the room early which they happily accommodated. We had a one bedroom with kitchen and w/d. Very hard to beat. The hotel and room are very clean and the resort itself is stunning from the outside. Beat my expectations. While here we are planning on spending our money on tours and shows. Not necessarily expensive dinners and gambling. The activities they have scheduled through the week are good. We took advantage of the grocery shopping trip at the beginning of our stay and the Fremont Experience Trip. We had pre-booked the Red Rock Canyon trip with Pink Jeep Tours for four times the price of the Resorts but...was told that the trip at the Resort is a hard sell for timeshares and they have a captive audience. I can't confirm that so it could be heresay.

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.

My family booked this trip 1 year in advance and enjoyed every minute of our spring break vacation. The hotel was awesome and had many activities to choose from. Grocery trip outings and other shuttle trips. The service was sufficient. The children were satisfied as well as the adults. The beautiful pools were great during the day and a lil warm at night since the temperature in Vegas is cooler at night. The kids enjoyed the activity center on the 3rd floor w/video game competitions; chess games; pool tables and air hockey.etc. Was nearby the strip. The strip had many events to satisfy the adult gambler and the young child from Dolphin shows; Volcanos; Water/sound Shows etc. You will not walk away from this one dissatisfied. ENJOY!
