Just retruned from HGVC Resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Enjoyed my stay and though a little out of the way the self parking was free and convienient. At the quite end of the strip though with the builidings comming up it may not be as quite in years to come. Staff was friendly. Great pool area with sun from noon on. Pool service was slow to lacking but great margaritas. Nice gym. Food service is lacking with only the poolside grill and store with limited service avalible. Don't plan on walking anyplace, just get a rental car (lowest rate I have paid in recent history) and enjoy, all the casinos have free parking behind them and plenty of walking to be done inside the casino and between them. Family Freindly place.

Just returned from our first trip to Vegas. Stayed at this hotel because of the good rate in exchange of a 2 hour timeshare sales-pitch (The people were very nice and not pushy. Didn't buy but would be a great thing for the right people.). Hotel is located at north end just south of the Stratosphere. We stayed in a studio room. Very clean and plenty big with ample strorage for 2 people. Decor is beautiful and modern. We loved the pool so much that we spent 2 full days just sunning, swimming and drinking pina coladas and mai tais. There is an outside poolbar that serves food. The club sandwich was large enough to share. There was plenty of lounge chairs in sun and shade for everyone. There is also a marketplace that grills sandwiches, has pizza and numerous other quick food items. I thought prices were reasonable. Items were about what I pay at home to double the price but I expect to pay more at a hotel for the convenience. There is also a Starbucks. We didn't have a car so we took a taxi to go down the strip and to downtown(cool light show and really enjoyed eating at The Triple 7 microbrewery). Taxis were very easy to catch, drivers were friendly and got us around fast. We didn't mind the fare since we didn't have to pay car rental. It is possible to walk-if you want to take the time. We did walk over to the Hilton (20mins) to see Barry Manilow(loved it) and my husband walked all the way to Ceasers and back one morning just for the exercise(1hour30mins round trip). All staff very friendly. Recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a beautiful accomodation and isn't interested in onsight gambling or bars.

Stayed in HGVC between April 27 and May 3. Everything about the hotel was great, from the quick and easy check in - and check out - to the very friendly staff. Everyone said 'hello' or gave a smile. Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with 5 other girlfriends. The room was clean. The only thing missing was sheets for the pull out couch, but we just called houskeeping and they brought everything we asked for in a matter of minutes.

The pool area was nice, not the largest pool, but more than enough. There was a store to buy food items on the premises called the Marketplace. Some items were pricier than others, and some items were comparable with the SuperMarket down the street. Also there was a 24 hr CVS right next door for essential needs, along with a refrigerator section for juice and water if necessary

Didn't have to put up with walking through a smoky, loud Casino entrance. It was more family friendly, or for those who just want to take in the Vegas sights.

As for the distance from other casino's, HGVC was at the end of the strip, however, right next to circus circus, and across from Sahara. Didn't find it too much of a walk to the center of the strip, but would recommend taking the bus (Deuce) at $5 for an all day pass, or a cab, if you plan on walking to the other end of the strip or going back and forth

Overall the trip was great, would stay there again in a heartbeat

We needed a place to stay for one night. Everything about this hotel was perfect. From check in to check out. The pool(s) were relaxing and well maintained. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. Had we known how nice and enjoyable this hotel was we would have stayed here for the entire trip.
