Loved this resort. We stayed on the 21st floor with a view of Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip). This was a very enjoyable vacation. The location was about a half a block away from the strip, which made things easy if we chose to walk. This resort was well maintained with a fally equipped kitchen with granite counter tops. We stayed in a two bedroom unit, with one of the units being a lock off unit, so there was plenty of privacy. The unit came with a stackable washer and dryer and also a large tub to soak it. How wonderful it was to take a nice hot bubble bath while listening to the stereo and look out the large windows at the view of the strip. The units are nicely decorated and also were equipped with a dvd player and a 42 inch plasma screen television in the living room.

The shower was equipped with a dual shower head, for those who would like to take a shower with your mate. The free valet parking was also an extra perk. The valet parking lot attendants were very curtious and accomodating and so were the staff in the lobby. Each time we would pull up in front of the building the attendants would say "Welcome Home." which I thought was cute.

This place definitely feels like a home away from home, only better because they have all the updated amenities. Those that are into fitness and health will really enjoy the fitness center and there is also a roof top swimming pool and sauna with a breathtaking view of the strip. There is also a bar on the roof if you would like to have a nice pool side drink.

After staying at the Marriott Grand Chateu, I would never want to stay in a regular hotel room again. I have been spoiled by this lovely resort.

Words can not

Although this is a Marriott vacation club, hotel rooms are available. The one bedroom was large, clean and quite comfortable. It's about l/2 block off the Strip and walking distance to all the large hotels and casinos. Price is great for a one-bedroom suite. Highly recommended.

We just returned from a 4-day trip. We loved everything about the Grand Chateau - the location is great, an easy walk to the strip. Our 2-bedroom suite was beautiful and spotless. The staff was all very courteous and friendly. We've stayed at different locations on the Strip over the years - this was one of our favorites. Much quieter than the casino hotels, and the fact that it is a non-smoking hotel is a definite plus. So nice to be able to ease into the day with our coffee and comfortable living room. The full-size kitchen is a big plus, even if only using for beverages and snacks. There is a convenience market by the lobby with lots to offer. Also a shuttle that goes several times daily to the Fashion Show Mall and also to the grocery store. The resort offered many activities, although we were too busy to partake in them.

If you like the Marriott brand stay here. I was very impressed with the room amenities and the availability of services. The pool is extremely small...more like a backyard pool at home. I stayed over memorial weekend. The hotel seemed full but never crowded. Its not nearly as big as some of the hotels in Vegas. No casino or restaurant on property...so if you are looking for that stay somewhere else. I stayed in a one bedroom villa. Just be careful when you book these though. The hotel has some rooms on their website that state "one bedroom villa" but they are actually studios. The studios are cute, but no full kitchen and no large separate tub...so if you are expecting that and you accidentally book a studio you will be dissapointed. Just make sure that you check the room descriptions to be certain to get what you want.

The location is fine..but expect to do alot of walking in general. There is a shuttle that will take you to the supermarket and the fashion mall. The shuttle for the supermarket only runs from Sat through Tues..but if you miss it no worries...there is a fully stocked market in the lobby. They carry everything from bread to first aid items. The shuttle to the mall is great because it basically carts you to the other end of the strip...and if you have ever walked it you understand why thats a good thing.

I was not so impressed with the front desk staff for numerous reasons. I had a few questions during my stay and they were not at all helpful. Its a good thing that im not the type of person that expects top notch service because you certainly wont get that here. I basically just received a room key and was sent on my way. Its like being in a ritz carlton with motel trained staff if you can imagine that. Beautiful place, lousy employees. Free valet service, but the valet staff was not much better. The hotel was quiet and clean. No rowdy twenty somethings smoking and smelling up the place with their cigarettes and cheap liquor. By the way, the entire property is smoke free..so if you smoke stay somewhere else. Im not kidding. There are no smoking areas in the hotel and no exceptions..and if housekeeping finds as much as a speck of ash or whiff of smoke in the room expect to pay a hefty "cleaning" charge...upwards of 200 bucks in some cases. Some places you can book a smoke free room and get away with smoking. Not here. Trust me.

All in all, my stay was pretty good. Minimal complaints. I am a big fan of Marriott properties..so I will stay in one again. This place is a timeshare property..and I did sit through the sales pitch but decided not to buy. Its still pretty new and in good shape but who knows what it will look like in 10 years? Also, only 2 of the 4 quads are up...so when construction begins on quads 3 and 4 I dont think i would want to stay here for the construction noise. City center is going up across the street. HUGE. I counted 10 buildings...its going to be ridiculous when its finished. I didnt hear any construction noise..maybe a truck or two early am but nothing major. Millions of people will be added to the strip. I'm not so sure it's going to be pleasant since they have no plans to widen the sidewalks. Overall, I thought it was an okay place allthough, if I return to Vegas anytime soon I may try somewhere different next time.
