we just got back from a week here. great place litttle scared when we first pulled in but the place was awsome check in was easy arrived at 8-30am
and they had a room ready that was great. rooms are very nice. pools are open 24hrs lots of shuttles to the strip.only a short walk to the strip. i would stay here again

Huge unit, Laundry room, full kitchen, large living room, dining area, 2 big bdrms, walk in closets, adjoining bathrooms, very clean. King size bed, 3 50" flat screen tvs, internet hookup, patio... steps from the pool, close parking... quiet...

Did not notice ANY construction at all. Saw one Plumber van and some boxes outside of a building.

I stayed in Bldg 11 and it was great !!

I've read many of the past reviews, and we were a little worried when we booked, but it exceeded EVERY possible expectation. The rooms were BEAUTIFUL! I understand that there is still some renovation going on (the building next to ours was being renovated), but not once did the renovations wake us or impede our enjoyment. We walked into our apartment and were amazed at how nice it looked. We had a 2-bedroom unit for myself and my wife, our baby and my good friend and his wife.

Both bedrooms featured very comfortable King-size beds and 42-inch flatscreen TVs, and the living area featured a pull-out couch (we never pulled it out, and thus cannot comment on its comfort) and a comfy chair to sit in and watch the even bigger flatscreen TV. There was a DVD player and a stereo system with iPod docking place (I don't have an iPod, so I'm not sure what it's called, but if you have an iPod, you know what I mean). Our porch had a nice little table and some chairs which we sat in to enjoy our first lunch there.

The dining area had a nice glass table with chandelier and 6 chairs, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, bowls, mixing bowls, a blender, dishwasher, microwave, gas oven, and full-sized fridge/freezer. They even had dish detergent for the dishwasher as well as a small Palmolive for whatever you wanted to wash by hand.

The laundry room featured a full-sized washer and dryer and they even had little sample packs of laundry detergent and fabric softening sheets (which they refilled mid-week and upon request).

The wireless internet worked without a hitch and I'd go so far as to say that it was more reliable than my home service, sadly.

We made ample use of the pool and spa -- the pools are heated and the whirlpool was toasty -- I felt like a happy lobster drinking my beer by the whirlpool.

The staff was very friendly, a maintenance worker saw us getting out of our car, asked if we needed anything, then told us to please tell someone if something went wrong, so that they could fix it, "We don't know until you tell us," he said.

Location-wise it is amazing. With my infant son in a stroller, it still took only 10-15 minutes to walk to the strip (Harrah's, Bill's, Bally's are closest) and they have a shuttle that leaves hourly to the strip as well if you're not in a walking mood.

We rented a car so that we could easily get to the Grand Canyon, shopping, etc., but it wasn't a "must" to have a car. They have shuttles to Fremont Street as well as to a grocery store (Von's). And if you're on the strip somewhere a shuttle doesn't go, a cab cost us $11 from Luxor, and $9 from Bally's.

I guess some of the previous reviewers had a bad time, but it must be the "OLD" Summer Bay. Maybe they are going out of their way to address previous problems, but I would have to truly pick nits in order to find negative things to say about our stay. We'd return in a heartbeat.

This place is almost done with a complete renovation. I am told that most of the rooms are completely renovated. Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit was fantastic. Completely new. One 50" plasma TV in living room. Each bedroom with King bed had 42" plasma TVs. Master bedroom had walk in closet, separate room for commode, and large 2 person bath tub and shower.
It has full sized kitchen with granite counter tops, with full sized fridge, oven, microwave with all the utensils and table service for 4. This also has full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board. This is like walking into full sized completely furnished, brand new apartment. Gas fireplace and stereo system with ipod doc. If you are driving, almost all the parking is covered like some apartment units have.
The only negative was the construction in the building next to us, but it did not bother my wife who likes to sleep in. You may ask to be sure you get a renovated room. The new units are way better than the pictures.

This will soon become one of the premier properties in Vegas. 2 blocks off the Strip is far enough to get away from it all, but close enough to be near it all.

We will be back.
