Ok so i stayed at this resort with a friend using my parents RCI timeshare.
We were a little bit jubious as we wernt to sure what the accomodation would be like, we were literally expecting a 2 bed apartment. What we actually had was TRULY AMAZING.
All apartments have a side a and side b, so in reality if you have a 2 bed apartment you have both sides.
We each had our own kitchen, living areas, bedrooms, jucuzzi Tubs, and bathrooms, it was phoniminal.
The rooms were clean and comfortable and anything anyone could possibly need.
Now the resort is quite far away from the strip but please dont let this put you off, the run a shuttle bus from 10am onwards till 12.30am to the excaliber hotel and back.
It doesnt take that long to get to the strip maybe 20 minutes, however this 20 mintues probably saves you at least $20 in a taxi so please tip the drivers! my friend and I witnessed so many people not tipping the drivers which i felt was unfair! and most of the poeple who tipped were not American which suprised us even more!
They have thier own computer room with about 8 PC's in it, please note that guests are meant to only be on there for 18 minutes at a time but that didnt stop other selfish guests clicking back on to use it even when there was a queue for people to use the internet. However when that isnt happening its a nice area to check emails (they have free wifi in there so you can bring along your own laptop) and they have coffee facilities too which are free of charge.
The pool area was nice. plenty of loungers which i have to say are mega un-comfortable, but they provide free towels and there is also a snack bar which serves breakfast lunch and dinner options along with beverages and coffee etc.
There was also a fitness room, but we were on holiday so why would we use it!!
The south point hotel is located next door and great if you fancy a night close by.
They have a huge casino, lovely resturants (breakfast is only $7 - a bargain in my eyes) and the service is good.
The mexican resturant is also nice, although order much less that you would, we wasted a lot of food!
We were asked to attend a time share presentation at the grandview, which we attended as agreed, the agents in question were friendly and courteous although the lady my friend had showing her around seemed a little rude and blunt in her pitch! realistically why would i want to buy something that i can use of my parents!
plus living in the UK, the flights arent cheap throw that in with maintence etc etc and it gets too pricey.....
I would def reccomend that others look at what they have to offer cause believe me, the apartments are out of this world.
The only 1 issue is, we only had a maid in 1 time in the week we stayed, who made my bed in my suite, and changed my friends towels in hers,,,,we found that a bit bizarre!
To sum it up, i would reccomend Grandview to anyone, the value to me to buy an apartment would work out way too expensive with other costs, however for US and Canadian residents your a fool not too!
Everyone is friendly and welcoming, any problems we had were sorted immediatley.
Great resort, Great People.

We used our timeshare to exchange and try out this particular resort. It is on the very south end of the strip but we didn't mind getting away from all the noise and it was smoke-free inside our room. The room we stayed in looked brand new and had everything we needed. If you're here to visit family...it's a great place to stay. Grocery Stores and Shopping Areas are all close by. Even if the airport was just 5 minutes north we didn't here the planes. We had to rent a car for a week but it was only $150 for car and gas and we explored other areas such as Hoover Dam, local restaurants, chocolate factory, gardens, china town area, etc...

I liked the points and extras they offered and ended up purchasing a timeshare here. We're planning to go to Europe and only owned 1 week, so with this purchase we're able to invest our money towards future trips instead of the money being gone after one visit to Paris and Italy.
After one year since we've been there, we think it was a good deal/investment.
Now we can go on vacation 3-4 times a year without throwing our money away.

Only negative was that construction workers were very loud so we never slept in. They need to add dark shades/curtains in bedrooms, too!

We're planning on returning to this resort in Aug. Since we purchased they gave a us a voucher to go back for free for 3 days and 2 nights.

If you're looking to save money and have family with you then consider staying here.
We're from Houston TX so a 5 mile commute to the casinos is nothing for us.

My husband and I stayed at the Grandview from 5/9/09-5/13/09. We weren't looking to stay on the Vegas strip this time so that is one of the reasons we were fine with choosing the Grandview. We stayed in the 'Daisy' building which is their newest building right now. I guess they are planning to put up 13 more buildings in the next several years. They have a new parking garage next to the Daisy building so we never had a problem with finding a spot to park when we'd come back late at night. Anyways, the room was really nice, very modern & clean. The only noise we could hear through the walls was when our neighbors used the jacuzzi tub. However they have a courtesy sign next to the tub asking not to use the tub before 8am and after 10pm. So other than than we didn't hear anything. It looked like the maids came around everyday as well. We had a nice view of the Southpoint Casino right across the street. We really liked the Southpoint Casino, it was pretty big, very nice, and had a 24 hour restaurant which was very convenient. Anyways, back to Grandview. I was a little worried about some of the previous posts I'd read on Tripadvisor regarding being hassled with their timeshare presentations. They asked us once when we got their and since they said they'd give us $100 and/or show tickets for going to their 2 hour presentation we signed up for it. The presentation started at 10am and we got out of their at 12pm. Then they gave us our $100 and we were on our way. So if you have a couple hours to spare then this is pretty harmless and you can get some good show tickets or cash. We also did the Tahiti Village timeshare presentation which was 3 hours, however we got 2 Cirque Du Soleil show tickets as well as 2 tickets to the Madam Tussauds celebrity wax museum. So all in all we spent 5 hours for 2 different presentations and saved around $300 so it was worth if for us since we were on a tight budget. We also visited the Green Valley Ranch and ate at the Original House of Pancakes their, in which the food was really good! My husband had the Irish Omelet which was fantastic! They bake their omelets instead of frying them. Anyways, the GVR was nice, I'd probably recommend checking it out at least once. We also drove down to the new 'M' casino. This place is immaculate inside! So modern and swanky, just very nice! I heard they have a fabulous buffet, but I we didn't eat their. They took our $80 bucks on the slots in less than a 1/2 hour so we split. We heard it was a billion dollar casino, in which my hubby and I chuckled a little over that when we stepped on the front grassy area and saw that it was astro-turf. Oh well. Another thing we were trying to find was a casino that had Spanish 21 blackjack tables. I must have called around to 20+ casino's and none of them had it anymore. The Excalibur had 1 table but didn't have the match the dealer side bet option which is basically the only reason my hubby and I love to play that game. Also, we rented our car through Savmor which their name used to be under ACE. They were the cheapest we found and they never had a line like all the other places we saw. So I'd recommend them. So all in all I would definitely recommend staying at the Grandview, but you will want to rent a car if you plan on going further than the South point casino. The Strip is only about a 5-10 minute drive from the Grandview.

We arrived May 1st and stayed until May 7th. We were is the Daisy Bldg 9th Fl. Yes there is a little bit of construction for the final Bldg. The old Bldgs are 12 stories tall. The new ones are 21 stories tall. There are 3 pools, a work out room. The garage opened when we were there. I had no problem finding a parking spot. It seems the people who complained are the ones who can't walk or are to lazy to walk 2 or 3 min to there room. (They must park in front of the bldg) Coming from NYC 2 or 3 blocks away is like parking in front of your apartment. There is plent y of handicap parking. The room was a 1 bedroom, larget enough for 4 people, waser & dryer, micro wave, etc all the conviences of home. We ate b'fast & lunch at the resort. Wal-mart is 5 min away on Silverado Blvd, easy to get to. We bought all our food there. The south point casino is right nexr door. about 2 miles up the road the new hotel "M" is open. The time share people did not bother us. The place is clean and new. You do need a car to go to the strip. We had a nice time and I don't have any complaints. I can see after a few months that the place can get worned down. The do have a Free tidy service for people staying 7days or more. Do visit the Valley of the Fire, about 1 hour from the place as well as the red rock canyon. 30 min away. I would go back. As always if you don't like what you get you can always change your room or ask for a freebie for something.
