Older buildings are 12 stories (newer ones are higher?) and all look alike, very plain. That said, the rooms are very nice, comfortable and quiet. The two bedroom suites are mirror image one bedroom lockout units, actually a very good idea, and quite functional. If you're traveling with friends or family, each party has significant privacy if desired. Unless you have a pool side unit, forget about a view unless you enjoy parking lots and buildings...and a glimpse of the mountains in the very distant background. The main pool area is large, with many lounges and an unlimited supply of very nice pool towels. Again though, everywhere you get the feeling of austerity. There is a small snack shop and grill adjacent to the main pool area (but they only serve soft drinks). Almost forgot, wireless internet is available in your room for a "hefty" $9.95 per day (small weekly discount available), too much $$$ in my opinion. I looked at this as a BIG negative, since you have to pay even in the lobby area. Important note, the elevators are very fast...we experienced no long waits during our stay. We're not fans of high rise condos in general, but this one worked out quite well for us. It is located quite a ways south of the Strip on Las Vegas Blvd., BUT the Strip is very easily accessed via I-15, so location was not a problem for us. Besides, there is a large "kid friendly" casino (SouthPoint) located right next door. Besides having all the usual adult amenities, this casino has a multiplex movie theater, a huge bowling alley, a video arcade and a reasonably priced snack shop for affordable casual eating. It also has the usual offering of restaurants, from a Deli, a Buffet, etc., on up to the very pricey places we generally shy away from. One thing you should be aware of...it is a timeshare and you will be offered the opportunity to take a sales tour (yeah, I know, what a surprise!). This comes right at check in, when you go to get your parking pass. We actually took the tour and got $100 cash two show tickets for 20 bucks, not bad all-in-all. They are persistent, but not high pressure...expect three levels of folks with ever increasing offerings. One last thought, the Strip is expanding south and this place will be very well placed in the next few years.
