I was really looking forward to staying at the Wyndham Grand Desert but I was a bit disappointed. It is quite a good base for access to the Strip and the free shuttle is very helpful. It's just those little things that begin to irk.
The checking in process is fine and we did get given a couple of bags of freebies which included cookies, water and hair bands!
The main problem for us was the sheer size of the place - it's huge and has no 'soul'. The pools are way to small for the amount of people staying there. They probably think that people just want to go to the Strip all the time but that's obviously not the case. We had trouble just finding somewhere to sit near the pool.
The supermarket was very expensive and for families with no transport that must be very annoying. The fast food place did serve nice and quite reasonably priced snacks but they always seemed to shut early. Not that helpful when you're relying on them for something to eat after a very long day!
The unit itself was very clean, comfortable and roomy - especially the bath which a whole football team could have used at the same time!
We asked reception for ideas of where to eat within walking distance and they mentioned Ellis Island on Koval Lane. The food here is great and very cheap. This was the best meal we had in Vegas apart from the Bellagio Buffet.
If we went to Vegas again, we'd probably stay somewhere closer to the Strip, with less rooms and bigger pools!
