We arrived in Las Vegas at around 10am. Check in at the Club wasn't until 4pm. They gladly checked our bags for us which was an excellent plus. We were also able to use the shuttle which was great, also. They told us that they would call us when our room was ready, so we took off to explore the strip.

Unfortunately, we never received a call so I suppose our room wasn't ready before four. Upon checking in, we were immediately pleased with the room. We stayed in a two bedroom suite. It was very roomy. One side was a lock-off bedroom, with a bathroom and a kitchenette. The larger side was a bedroom, bathroom, full kitchen and a living room, which included a fireplace and a balcony. There were five of us, so the living room with a pull out couch really became a third bedroom. The room was immaculately cleaned and we were very happy with it. One of the jetted tubs did not work, which we didn't discover until nearly the last night of the trip. But, that was the only room downfall.

The hotel had a pool area (it was way too cold to swim) that, fortunately, also had a hot tub. The area was open 24 hours, which originally we thought was great. However, it turned out to be overrated. The pool area was literally in the middle of a bunch of other suites. They were behind and right next to other suites. One night, after a long day of walking the strip, we decided to go down and enjoy the hot tub. I wouldn't have even mentioned this had it been true, however, about 10 minutes into our "hot tub experience," a security guard came out from the lobby and told us he had received complaints (as in multiple) of noise and if it continued, he would have to ask us to leave. There had been little to no conversation between the four of us at all so we just decided to pack it in. It would have been impossible for us to have been any quieter. I would suggest that, being that there are other patrons staying so close to the area that the sounds of people moving around in a hot tub would disturb them, they should attach hours to the privileges of the pool.

The only other downfall of the hotel was that, although you're given a paper schedule of shuttle departure times, they aren't always necessarily accurate. I would suggest arriving to the pick up spot about 10 minutes prior to the listed time. Upon exiting the door of the Riviera, we saw the shuttle leaving, 10 minutes early, and were left to wait another hour for a returning shuttle. We discovered cabs were a little more convenient for the five of us, resulting in about a $10 - $15 fare from most places on the strip. Also, on the weekdays, the last shuttle leaves at 11pm, so if you're night owls, you'll also find this inconvenient. The hotel also offers a free trip to Fremont Street on Wednesdays, but if you want to go, make sure you schedule your spots with the front desk early. By Monday morning, all two shuttles were completely booked. The Deuce also runs to Fremont Street and offers a 24 hour bus pass for $5, you can catch it at the Riviera but it tends to be stuffed to the brim and, for the most part, uncomfortable.

Overall, the hotel is really nice. The staff was, mostly, friendly and they gave us a welcome packet that included free passes to nightclubs and show coupons. We were never once pressured into a sales pitch (it is a time share, after all). I will probably never stay at this hotel again, but merely for the reason that I prefer the hustle and bustle of the strip and this was just a bit too far away from the strip for me. The closest casino was The Orleans and it was about a 15 minute walk (we did it many times). It was nice to have everyone in our group stay together (where else can you book a two bedroom suite for a good price?) so I would recommend this for families who enjoy a laid back vacation.

My husband andI traveled with friends, and all 4 of us had a great time. The resort was comfortable, exceptionally clean, great location (being off the strip is a plus - but close enough to enjoy it). I especially like the set up of the two bedroom suite. The fireplace was great to use at night. The shuttle buses were prompt, and driven by pure professionals. If you get the chance, check out the Red Rock Canyon tour given by Norm. You can sign up at the concierge desk. He is fabulous, and the cost of the trip (transportation, guide, and entrance to the park) was only TWO dollars. The trip is absolutely the best bargain in Vegas.

I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at Club de Soleil for 10 days in August/September 2007.

It is actually 2 separate resorts - Club 1 and Club 2. We stayed in a 2nd floor unit in Club 1. While this part is lovely with a pool and tennis courts, the main part is Club 2 which houses the office staff and reception. We had some issues with regard to our unit, which was compounded by the fact that there were no staff onsite to assist, and we had to keep going to Club 2. I would therefore suggest that if you are going to book that you request a unit in Club 2.

The large units themselves are extremely spacious with excellent facilities such as dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, spa bath, full stove with oven and everything needed supplied (including pool towels, washing powder etc)

The only real negative I have is that the reception staff were not at all helpful, on occasions to the point of rudeness. Overall however this is a great resort, and we would definitely stay here again.

The club was nice place to stay, service was good. good location but the pools and spa need better daily attention.
I have stayed in better 5 star resorts, but this one was not bad.
