A good place to stay away from the strip in Las Vegas. No daily maid service, but clean and comfortable. A good time share if you want to just rest.

We stayed at the Desert Paradise for 7 nights in early July 2008. The resort is a timeshare resort which is relatively small and situated about 3 miles from the strip. The nearest big casino is the Orleans Hotel which is about a 15 minute walk. My impressions of the resort are generally good. It is clean and tidy although I feel the rooms are a little tired and would benefit from a refurbishment. On arrival the reception staff were very welcoming and efficient. The concierge was also very helpful and provided any information we needed. We were asked though on two occasions if we fancied a tour of the resort for the usual timeshare sales.We politely declined. My party consisted of 5 persons, two couples and my 16 year old son. The unit had plenty of room and was comfortable. The resort does have a shuttle service to the strip. People have complained about this on previous reviews however if you pre book it like you were asked to it always arrived and was prompt. The Paradise also has two pools and plenty of sun beds. gas BBQ's are also available near to the adult pool. Overall the desert Paradise is a good resort which is far enough away from the strip to give you a little peace and quiet when you need it.

Enjoyed our stay at the Desert Paradise Resort. Apartments are a good size and well equipped. Be aware that there are no twin bedrooms so if you have kids they will have to double up in the same bed.

Some of the furnishings are looking a bit tired and need replacing or deep cleaning...but nothing too major.

Facilities generally are well maintained and clean - pool areas are excellent with bbq's available.

Make sure your get an apartment away from the front main road (Decatar) as that is busy and you may feel a little insecure that people can see you coming and going easily. This is our second visit to the complex and both times we've had accommodation on the Reno side of the complex and this has been no problem.

I would recommend this place if you want to visit Vegas but stay somewhere a little off strip without the bling bling of the casino's.

We went there with part of our family who owns a time share. It was their first time in Las Vegas.
First we were so disappointed by the location, it is easy 3 miles away from the Strip! No way to go there by walk. When you arrive they tell you not to worry because they have shuttle service. But a very poor service, only 2 or 3 shuttles a day, sometimes they drop you off on the Strip but no shuttle to pick you up in the evening. But they will help you for sure to reserve a taxi!!! What a help!
We were 6 adults and our little boy. I took care of calling few weeks ahead to reserve a rollaway bed. I was told not to worry, that I could not reserve one ahead, but that there will be no problem to ask for on at check-in. This is what we did at 1.00pm. At 4.00pm, still no bed in the room, I went to double check and was told it was coming right away. Then at 5.00pm, after going back to the front desk, I was told the ones they still had remaining were broken and they did not want to give it to me not to injure my boy. After asking why it took 4 hours to tell this to me, we agreed that they would bring me a mattress only, which was fine for 2 nights only. At 7.00pm, I was pissed off, still nothing, I proposed myself to take the mattress myself if they had nobody. I had to get mad to have somebody bring me a very bad mattress, that I throw out of the bedroom. And know what, after 5 minutes, they brang a rollaway bed magically!!! Which did not look like broken by the way. We have been so disappointed by this porr service, and the fact that they were lying to us during all the afternoon. As I told them, they should have told me right away sorry Sir, we have nothing available. A kind of manager even told me "I should have called before to reserve one". We were completely mad.
Otherwise, the furniture is very limited in terms of plates, glasses, etc...
appartment is OK otherwise, nice beds, nice bathrooms.
My aunt who invited us was very disappointed witht his experience and will complain to her time share company.
Better stay at an hotel on the strip if you want to enjoy Vegas!
