The photos provided in websites regarding the Summer Bay Las Vegas are very misleading about the overwhelming majority of rooms at this so-called "resort". There seems to be one fairly new building that includes the reception/sales area (don't forget this is a time-share group) and about a dozen rooms - this is what you see in the photos. Our 1-bedroom suite bore no resemblence. The acres of property, multiple pools and suites mentioned are really a conglomeration of various neighboring 1960's 2 and 3-story court motels that have been bought up and painted the same color. There are a few buildings mixed in that have not been scooped up yet by the hotel - some are vacant, some boarded up, and a few seem to be serving as cheap apartments. Our suite was a perfectly ordinary 1-bedroom motel room with kitchen. It was clean, with a decent tropical-pastel paint job and newer motel-grade furnishings. The carpet was laid over an uneven floor however, and obviously they are not too serious about keeping the rooms truly "non-smoking" - they just spray the room with Febreze or whatever. If I had been on the road and just passing thru a city, AND if it had been half the price, this would have been a perfectly fine stop. However, I wasted a Hotels gift certificate during a New Year's trip to Vegas on a motel room that was represented to me as a "condominium unit" at a "resort" with photos of rooms that turned out to represent probably less than 5% of the available rooms. And they want to sell timeshares! Who would trust anything they say?

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Vegas for new years eve. All of the strip hotels were so much money and I feel like we totally lucked out by reserving two rooms at Summer Bay Resorts on lasvegas.com. We pd. $150 per night, which was a bargin. After reading the other reviews, I called ahead to request renovated rooms close to the strip so we didnt have to walk far. They told me that all the rooms were close to the strip so this wasn't a problem. Our friends also booked a room and got to the place ahead of us to check in. My friend found that we were assigned rooms pretty far away from the strip and requested to be changed. They accomadated us without a problem and we got two rooms next door to eachother in building 28.
My sister was staying with my husband and I so the spacious room came in handy. The renovated room was great! We had a large bedroom and a living area with pull-out sofa. The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't cook anything, however a few times we brought home our leftovers from eating and stored them in the refrigerator-perfect for late-night eating. A wish every hotel had one because we also bought beer, water, etc. to keep cold. An additional bonus were all of the full length mirrors in the rooms. We did notice only a few bath towels though, but quickly realized they had stocked some extras underneath the sink along with toilet paper. We were all pleased with the room.
Our room location ended up being perfect. We rented a vehicle and parking was free and right behind our builing. You could walk out the back of the unit and turn right or left to get to the strip hotels. We were directly behind the Flamingo so we went there often. Also, the monorrail was right behind us so we could have gotten right on at anytime. This was the perfect location. Overall, we had such a wonderful time for new years - went to several clubs and basically just toured around the city and gambled some. Vegas has so much to do and Summer Bay Resorts provided us with excellent accomadations close to everything we wanted to do! Additionally we were able to purchase a late check out for 5 pm on new years day for $40. This was great since normal check out was at 10 and our flight wasn't until 4. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Vegas - perfect for staying on a budget or for a family. I would go back and stay here again for sure.

This resort needs to stop where it is right now, demolish and start over immediately. And please change your name, take the "resort" off because it definitely is not one. When the shuttle pulled up to Summerbay "Resort", yeah, right, (LOLOLOLOL - hilarious that they would even try to pass this off as one.) We expected to see something very nice since we had the pleasurable experience of staying at the Summerbay in Florida (which we absolutely loved). Nope, not what you going to see. Our sight of this mess what you call a resort is exactly what I stated, " a mess". It was like we stepped into the set of a 1950's Old Western Movie. We expected to see tumbleweeds roll by, cowboys and Indians come out and start a fight in the parking lot. As if this is not enough, you insult people by dressing up the lobby as if this is some taste of what our rooms may look like – yeah, right! Advice: RENOVATE THE ROOMS – IMMEDIATELY. BRING THEM UP TO DATE, WE LIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY (I figured I would tell you since it seems you don’t know). First of all we could not get into our hotel at all due to the fact that the door to our room was broken shut. My husband had to literally pry it open with a good shove of the shoulder and a couple of forceful kicks. We asked for it to be fixed the next day and I have to admit the service was prompt but apparently maintenance had no idea of how to fix it because the problem remained unsolved. We just decided to kick our way into our room instead of bothering staff again. When we got the door open the first night, oh goodness the smell that others write about is definitely correct. It was an old, moldy smell, (I had to clean and disinfect the entire space. I could not sit or sleep there until we found the Walgreens and I brought a can of Lysol, Comet cleanser and Clorox Bleach) has old scratchy furniture, no central air just a big lunky, chunky old 1970 a/c units (who uses these anymore?) We had the pleasure of uninvited guests in our room\, the bathroom tub is an eyesore and the hot water - at times what hot water?? If we had to stay longer, I don’t think I would’ve asked for a new room for fear that we may get something more dreadful than what we already have.

I must admit the bed was ok, my husband and I slept pretty good. The staff is also very nice and friendly. If we had to stay on the premises most of the day, I think I would have lost my mind. GIVEN A CHANCE FOR A FREE STAY AT SUMMERBAY LAS VEGAS, I WOULD DEFINITELY PASS. UNLESS THEY TOTALLY MAKEOVER THEIR ENTIRE HOTEL, I WOULD NEVER, EVER STAY THERE AGAIN!

Hello to anybody who are going to Las Vegas.
We(I and my husband) just came home to NYC(Brooklyn).
I booked this resort as exchange of my points(similar to timesharing) about two months ago, it was only choice to stay in Las Vegas without car. I read all bad reviews at that time, was depressed and after i saw good ones my mood became better. Thanks to them who wrote a good news. Now i am the one who advise to go to this place. The location is the best, the view from the room is beautyfull. We stayed in one bedroom apartment(renovated), we are over 65 years old, have health problems. When i made reservation i told them what i would like to have, including location, not far from the main office. All my requests were met. You can see that they are trying very hard to improve their image. This place is good if you used to staying in motel, only you have an apartment. Everythig is very simple, but new and clean. I think the name "resort" confusing some people, they expecting much more when coming to this place. For us it was good, quiet place to come to rest for a couple of hours and go back to the strip. We had a great time, it was one of the best vacation for the last 30 years that we live in USA. So, do not worry, go to this place and be happy.
