The Blue Moon is an old motel thats been given a new lease on life with a "remodel" that can best be described as a new paint job with tacky furniture. It is billed as a gay resort but calling it a resort is a true stretch of the word.
It is located in an industrial area, far from the strip or anything of importance for that matter, and thus is very isolated. Half of the cab drivers that I used during my stay in Vegas didn't know where it was.
It is known for being cruisy or others term as frisky, but the atmosphere is
often depressing as parts of it resemble a run down bathhouse with out if shape older clientele. The rooms are motel like with god-awful furniture.
Did not run into any cockroaches as other reviewers have complained of though.
The pool is clean yet small while the steamroom and nearby video lounge encouraged sexual behavior, which at times was risky, but without the conscience of providing condoms on hand.
Management appeared indifferent to requests made on several occasions.
If this were a resort, why not have a small space designated as an exercise room (oh, the nearest gym is 2 miles down the road). Why not serve a decent continental breakfast instead of the prepackaged bagels, and toaster waffles?
if you must come here, rent a car, and come with the expectations of an expensive motel for gay men where management is eager to take your money but provide you with little to enjoy.

Third time to stay here. The ground level rooms are definitely inferior to the upper story rooms. They charge a premium for pool value rooms but the constant music and other noise of the pool area always has me preferring the parking lot view. I do like this place, I find the rooms very nice and I appreciate all the freebies that they provide as gifts to the guests. I noticed some reviewers with comments about the lack of food - first of all this is a motel, what did you expect? But in recognition of the management, I would note they do provide a room service menu now with a number of offerings, though I did not use it. Speaking of food, breakfast on the first day was very limited, they had run out of nearly everything, including milk. The next day the breakfast had more to offer (cerals, Costco muffins, milk!). Terrible coffee on both days. I would stay here again, but I appreciate this place as a value property delivering a decent product for the price paid. The Hampton Inn Tropicana and Holiday Inn Express South Strip offer more comfortable rooms and better breakfasts but this time they were more expensive than Blue Moon. Also, if you are a geek with a lot of gear, beware that the large fixtures and extra lighting uses up all the available outlets in the room, I had to unplug one of the lights to have a place to charge my mobile phone.

Here's the deal guys- This is a gay hotel and playspace- it's not a 5 star resort and so long as you have a realistic expectation you'll probably enjoy yourselves. On the good side the beds are comfortable and everything in the room functions. On the really good side the pool and spa are great. If you're looking for frisky fun you'll really love it. We weren't but a cool environment to be in. On the downside- yes we experienced giant cockroaches too...Bathroom amenities- shampoo's, soaps.. are total low end. We had some polite staff and some seriously bad attitude- people who just hate their job. The continental breakfast is not good in any way- definitely plan on something else. So if you're looking for fun and have reasonable expectations you're in good shape. If you're looking for luxury- look elsewhere. We are luxury travelers and actually extended our stay at the Blue Moon just cause it was fun. So, give it a try...

I was concerned about my planned stay after reading some of the reviews. I can absolutly say the room was very nicely done, (it was a king suite) very comfortable bed, and very clean. The whole complex was taken care of, and the continental breakfast was very nice. I would definitely stay there again. They are a bit off the strip, but very easy to get to if you have a car, and rentals in Vegas are cheap. I didn't find noise to be a problem at all. The free internet service was really appreciated.
