5/12/2005- We recently spent a week in Las Vegas at the Summer Bay Resort. This resort is located within easy walking distance to middle of The Strip. The remodeled rooms are comfortable enough with nice furniture and appliances.

I reserved two one bedroom units for two people in each room. However, I requested no stairs, for the rooms to be near each other, and a roll away for each room. None of these requests were honored when I got there. I was told by the person at the desk just because I made that requests did not mean that these facilites were available. We were given rooms on the second floor, on opposite sides of the building, and the rollaways never materialized the entire week.

My husband and I were interested in information about the RCI Points System, so we attended their timeshare presentation. The reward were tickets to a magic show at the Greek Isles. The tickets and show were not worth the time. The Greek Isles is a very run down place. If you attend the presentation, I would take their option for a show at the Sahara instead. The sales presentation was not high pressure, however.

Two things that we did during the week that were really oustanding were going to the show, KA at the MGM. It is pricey, but worth it. Also, we spent a day at the Valley of Fire State Park and the red rocks were just incredible. The park is an easy drive to get to, and worth a visit on your own, or taking a tour if you don't have a car.

We have stayed in Las Vegas many times, and this time we used RCI timeshare and stayed at Summer Bay. We had requested a 2 bedroom in the main building, which they kindly granted.

The location was excellent. Just behind the Imperial Palace, walking through IP's garage. At the most a 5 min walk off the strip. When we have stayed in hotels on the strip it takes at least a 5 min walk to get to your room from the front entrance!

Our room was good. Two large bedrooms, kitchen, one and a half bathrooms, lounge and balcony. The room only got cleaned once during our one week stay, and they did not empty the bins or change the bed linen. This is the only negative thing I can say about Summer Bay.

When we return to Las Vegas we will certainly stay at Summer Bay again, however we would request a room in the main building again, as the buildings are quite spread out and you could end up having to walk quite a bit further to the strip. They do have a buggy service available from the rooms to the main reception, and they have a shuttle service to the casinos but we never needed to use these.

The location overall is excellent, once you have walked through Imperial Palace's garage, you are slap bang on the centre of the Strip.

Would definitely recommend Summer Bay.

We stayed there for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Had a two bedroom and it was clean, new leather chesterfield , large tv in each bedroom, plus in living room,and well supplied kitchen.
Resort hostesses were very pleasant and helpful. Good shuttle service to various casinos and there were many resort activities.
Excellent location. Certain areas are under renovations.
Summer Bay also has direct access to the Las Vegas Monorail.

My family and I stayed at Summer Bay to save money and did not expect the great service we got! From the time we arrived, we had people helping us with our vaction plans and assuring us that our stay would be special.

We loved the location. It made it very easy to see"the sites" and I felt comfortable and secure walking to and from this hotel.

We would stay here again!
