This hotel was quite a surprise. I was not expecting much due to the price, but we were all very happy with the room. We traveled with another couple so we booked a two bedroom, two bathroom suite and it was very roomy. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook, and clean up. It also has a washer and dryer. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked very well, and we had a private balcony. Yes it is a couple miles from the strip but we drove so that was not an issue for us. As for the timeshare speech, just say no and they don’t pester you anymore. The only thing I did not like was you had to pay $6.95 per day for internet access other than that I would definitely stay there again!

We booked this through our timeshare and it was hands down our best trip to Vegas. It's located just a couple of miles from the strip, which was nice because we could easily get to the strip without having to listen to noise of the strip.

The staff was extremely helpful (but if you aren't a member of there timeshare avoid the "free gift). They were friendly and informative, even upgradin us to a two bedroom. We really liked the excersise room as well as the internet accesability.

The gate was awesome..I know some have complained about it, but honestly typing in the number took all of 2 seconds. It was nice having the peace of mind knowing we were gaited in, and others were gaited out :) The swimming pool and hot tub were really nice. I liked the waterfall coming into the pool and hot tub.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the bed was oh so comfy (best sleep I've had in ages). The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, and it was nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. And the three flat screens were nice to come home to after a long day of shopping!

All in all I would absolutely recommend this place.

I`ve been going to LV with a group of golf buddies for winter golf getaway every year for the past 10 years and Desert Paradise had been the best so far (compared to other hotels we stayed at, including NYNY, MGM, Imperial Palace, Venetian, Stratosphere, etc.)
- Spacious: the 2-bedroom suite I stayed in was extremely roomy. Large bedrooms with walk-in closets, 1 with an ensuite bathroom, huge living room, dining area and reasonable sized kitchen. Others in my group had 1-bedroom suites which were quite spacious as well.
- The kitchen was fully equipped with a good sized fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and a coffee maker. We didn`t use the kichen much but it looks like there are plenty of dishes, cups, glasses, and other kitchenettes that you can probably do your own cooking if you prefer.
- Comfortable: Beds and living room furnitures are quite comfortable with LCD TV in all the bedrooms and the living room. There are quite a lot of channels if you want to spend some relaxing time to watch TV, probably satellite feed. Some furnitures look a bit aged, but clean and well maintained.
- Quiet: This resort is about 3-4 miles away from the strip, far enough to be in quiet and relaxing so that you can get a good night sleep, but close enough to be there within minutes of driving. I`ve stayed on the strip many times in the past to appreciate the quiet evening here.
- Convenient: this location was convenient for me because I always rent a car in Las Vegas. It`s only minutes from the strip, close to the airport, close to I-15 and quite easy to get to all the golf courses that I booked my rounds. However it may be a little inconvenient for those who don`t have a car, you would need to take a cab to go anywhere.
- It is a gated community, the front gate closes every night which should make the guests feel safe and secure. I don`t find it inconvenient having to punch in a code to open the gate late at night as others complained. I rather do that and feel safe leaving all the golf clubs in the cars at night.
Overall, everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Desert Paradise. After a long day of activities in Las Vegas, I felt quite relax in this large and comfortable suite, much more than those cramped hotel rooms on the strip.
Spacious, clean, comfortable, and secure. Great value overall, definitely will be our first choice in future trips coming back to Las Vegas.

Stayed at Desert Paradise Resort in November 2008 and although the units do need to be modernised, they are cleaned thoroughly. Stayed in a two bedroomed unit. Beds were very comfortable and sheets spotless. Towels fluffy and white. Pool area very nice and no problems with obtaining sun loungers. Other than one member of staff at reception, all staff very friendly and helpful. Liked the log fire area at reception and free coffee/tea is a nice touch. Only downside was our unit was at the front of the resort where the main road was which was very noisy and the unit had a stale smell of smoke inside. However, that aside, really enjoyed staying there and would revisit, hopefully when all units have been remodernised which I have been told should be completed in February 2009. Didn't use shuttle bus as hired a car with budget car rental which proved very expensive. Shop around.

My wife and I always have booked a room on the strip. We fell into this place on accident and it was the best vacation we ever had!

We liked it so much that we are going to purchase a timeshare there and go back every year.

Caution! Purchase your time share on the resale market you can save up tp 90% of retail.

Again this will be our home for many years. The people were fantastic.You will not be disappointed.

  • Liked — Just Close enough to the strip and far enough away to relax
  • Disliked — nothing
