Vacationed in Vegas for a week. Started out staying in the Bellagio, but moved to Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the strip through RCI (as planned). Believe it or not, we liked it much more that the Bellagio. We didn't have to walk to miles to get to our room. Our suite was quite roomy and very comfortable. We had a nice size kitchen, dinette, small den, fairly small bathroom and bedroom, but we did have a King size bed.

The pools were wonderful! A little bar and grill by the pool. Small deli/coffee shop/store with extremely overpriced foods. However, the coffee and tea were great! A cab ride down to the main area of the Vegas strip cost us around $15. Discovered a wonderful diner called The Peppermill, within walking distance. Directly across the street from The Stratosphere. A pharmacy was also within walking distance where you could buy much less expensive beverages and snacks to take back to your room.

The location is not in the heart of the strip, but at the end of it. Close enough for comfort and it was nice to get away from the mobs. Cabs were plentiful and we never had to wait in line to catch one! (Unlike the hotels in the heart of the strip). Staff was friendly and accommodating.

No complaints. We'd highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed at HGVC on the strip from May 8 to May 17, 2009 and found it to be a great experience. I had stayed here the previous year and loved it so much i had to come back. The room was very comfortable and the mini kitchen was just what I needed with a fridge to hold my orange juice for the morning and beer for the evening. The toaster was all I needed to make toast and jam in the morning too and it helped me to stay away from the fatty breakfast buffets at the other hotels. There's no casino which I found to be a good thing after spending a good part of the day at the Riv and the Bellagio. It was nice to come back to a quiet place after all that. The pool was very good and relaxing as well. I had a minor problem with my internet connection one day but it was quickly resolved by calling the phone number, at no charge, that the front desk gave me when they gave me the HGVC internet password. Even though it is a fair distance from the main strip, the Duece bus stops often enough in front of the hotel so it was no big deal. 7 dollars for a 24 hour bus pass, up from 5 dollars a year a go. The CVS Pharmacy next door had everthing you need food, drink and snacks so I didn't need to shop at the inhouse deli/store and it was cheaper too and open 24 hours. Ate at the steakhouse in Circus Circus twice during my stay and it was awesome. Big portions and very tasty. The first time I was there I had to get a doggy bag because I couldn't finish the huge cut of prime rib they served me. First time that has ever happened. Anyways, I throughly enjoyed my stay at the HGVC on the Strip and I'll go back there every year from now on.

I have stayed at many hotels in Vegas over the years, for work and pleasure. This is the Best of the Best, the Suites at this hotel are amazing. Huge room, very stylish, Bathroom is huge, suites have a full kitchen, great living room with Flat Screen TV. Amazing value, transplant these suites to the Wynn, or Bellagio and they would be hundreds of dollars!!! Most of the year these suites are less then $200 a night. Perfect Hotel for the non casino needing vacationer.

We stayed at the Grand Vacations Club over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our son's 21st birthday. Planned to do a little gambling, but not much. More to see the sites, as our 15 yr old son was also with us. Room was perfect - 2 bedroom suite with kitchen. We ended up with this "deal" due to a phone call from the Hilton and sold us on the deal because of price, and the two bedroom, we jumped at it.

Had to sit thru a 2 hr timeshare presentation. Didn't feel it was too high pressured and didn't opt to purchase. Room met all our needs. Pool was nice, but get there early to get a lounge chair.

However, I would say, to get anywhere on the strip, you had to go to the Sahara to catch the monorail. Was inconvenient I guess. We are a pretty active family, but it did wear on is after awhile, walking and walking. Just took up too much of our 4 day precious time. Anyone who thinks they can go to Vegas without walking is not being realistic. You have to walk. Heck just to get thru one casino is quite a bit of traveling.

I would recommend this hotel to families who want a nice hotel for value with a nice pool. However the timeshare was right in the middle of our vacation and took up valuable time. If you don't want to spend too much time on the strip this hotel is great.

I had researched the hotel on Trip Advisor and learned there was a CVS pharmacy right around the corner. When we got to the hotel, we walked around the corner and "loaded up" on cereal, milk, sandwich fixings, beverages (beer, juice, etc.) which was very smart. Just ask at the front desk how to get there. Buying at CVS is better than the expensive Market in the hotel.

I think next time we travel as a family, we won't go to Las Vegas until the 15 yr old is old enough. Truly, he was bored. Little kids would find the "free" exhibits thrilling, but teens that age probably shouldn't witness the night life, if you know what I mean. Walking down the strip at 10 p.m.... well, let's just say you see a lot of plastic, fake and skin.

We were just glad to spend time in the hotel with our kids. So we felt it was worth it in the end.
