We just returned from a week timeshare at ClubDeSoliel in Las Vegas. It was an exchange for a timeshare. It was a nice clean 2 bedroom exchange but it was very small. It did compare to the Marriott in configuration of the room and lack of maid service. The staff was friendly and helpful and the bus service was plentiful. I was just very surprised at the size of the rooms. It was off the strip and didn't have a casino attached which was great for us because we had children with us. We rented a car to see everything else around like the Hoover dam and the Red Rocks but it wasn't necessary since they had trips from the hotel. It was a very nice trip and a good palce for us to stay.

My husband, daughter and I went to Vegas in July to attend a dance competition in which my daughter was competeing. We were able to obtain a one bedroom unit at Club de Soleil through Interval International. I was not sure what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised after checking in. We were in the section with the registration center. There is a second section about a half a block further down Tropicana and seperated by an apartment complex. Our room was 2016. I think that was in building 3. It was the second floor (of 3) and our balcony overlooked the back parking area. That may not sound very wonderful, but we actually liked it because it was quiet - not near Tropicana- and we could see part of the strip lit up at night. I do not like traffic noise and so this worked out well. It was also in the shade all afternoon so that is certainly better in my book when the temperature was over 107 degrees.

The room itself was extremely clean - and I am very fussy about that. It was not lavish, but nicely furnished and comfortable. The kitchen was immaculate. It could have benefited from a few more utencils and pots, but it was adequate. There is a great and clean BBQ (actually 2) with granite counters around them outside in the courtyard. We enjoyed great steaks one evening.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well except for some idiot's car alarm went off 2 mornings in a row. Same car, don't know why it happened.

The one thing that I want to really comment on was the high level of service that they provided. Whatever I asked for was immediatley attended to. One evening I forgot to ask for extra linens before we went out for the night. I called the front desk at around 11PM not thinking it would be possible to get some, but it was no problem. They had the night security guard bring them up to me. I was so astounded. Also, we were not bothered by the concierge about a time share sales pitch. It was offered, I declined and that was that. She was very helpful about providing us other info that we asked for.

The pool was not big, but it was well maintained and wonderfully warm. My daughter and I spent hours lounging in the water. The spa was great too. I loved the shade cabanas they had as well as numerous trees around the perimiter that provided much needed shade from the heat and sun. Yes, some of the leaves blew into the pool in the afternoon wind, but an attendant came around to clean them out. Believe me, I would rather have the shade and put up with a few leaves in the pool!! The pool was NEVER crowded while we were there. Maybe 10 people max and many times we were the only ones there. Loved it!!! Also there are no posted hours. The pool is open 24/7 for those of you night owls who might want to take a spa. I am sure you would have it entirely to yourselves.

We felt that the facility was well maintained, staff friendly and rooms comfortable. We did not use their shuttle as we had a car, but I noticed one frequently out front. We loved that it was quiet (really only heard noise from above a few times and none from next door during the entire week we were there) and away from the strip. We left feeling very relaxed and would definately return again.

When we traveled to Vegas from July 6-13 this summer, we stayed at Club de Soleil. We had two one bedrooms and two suites because there were 8 of us. The jacuzzi bath tub was great and the pool and spa were nice too. The kitchen and living room were very nice and the room came with a cd stereo which was great for the nights when I was getting ready for dinner or a night out and needed a little music to set the mood. There was also a DVD player just in case you wanted a break from the lights and slots. Half way through our stay we got a message that there was a leak and we needed to change rooms so they could fix it. That was a pain in the neck and there was nothing we could get comped because it was a timeshare. Also, they turned off the water one night from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. because of a plumbing problem. Other than those two things, our stay was very nice and the accomodations were just enough.

In spite of several of the photos and minor criticisms I will include, in honesty I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were fortunate enough to get a "Strip View" room (there are very few, so request early if you want one) and virtually every part of our stay was positive.

The room was clean, spacious, quiet, and well-appointed: deck/patio with table and two chairs, full kitchen, large bathroom with jetted tub, washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, fireplace (not needed as Vegas temps reached 116!), tv in the living room and bedroom, DVD player in living room, as well as a small stereo.

With the exception of one concierge who was brusque, everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking is plentiful, covered, and patrolled by a security guard

Complimentary waffles and sausages were served for breakfast Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday. The shuttle to the strip is a great service, and, not to be missed, for $2.00 per person (cheaper than if you take your own car): the guided trip to Red Rocks on an air conditioned bus, by the knowlegeable and amiable driver/guide, Norm.

The minor criticisms: A surpising number of things seemed out of order and were not dealt with during the week we stayed. In fairness, none of these bothered me, as I wasn't interested in using any of them, but it seems like these should be addressed more quickly. All not working: one excercise machine, the lobby computer for guest usage, the DVD rental machine, and the water fountain at the pool. Also, as it was windy, the pool collected a lot of leaves and other tree debris, and by afternoon, the pool surface needed cleaning. The pool is not supervised (no life guard), but it is open 24/7, which is convenient, especially on warm or hot nights. At The Orleans, by contrast, the pool closes at 8:00 pm, which seems awfully early, and that is true at many of the strip casinos also.

In all, we enjoyed staying off the strip. You are only 2 miles from NY, NY / Excalibur / MGM Grand etc., 20 minutes from Red Rocks, and less than an hour from Mt. Charleston.

Top flight? No. Perfect? No. But we liked it very well and it made our stay in Las Vegas all the more enjoyable.
