Great Vegas value!

The rooms were nicer than we expected. We had six women and with 2 bathrooms it was perfect for all of us. The pool was nice, nothing fancy. The evening drinks and munchies were a nice treat, as was the breakfast goodies. All in all a great value. Not really good for walking the strip, but very easy to get to everything if you have a car.

It is definitely worth it to rent a car. You can get free parking almost every where, and with airport shuttles, taxis, and the monorail it can really add up. Just make sure you have a "DD"

Can't expect much for $40 a day...

Pros: Suite Room with Kitchen, Good for a family looking to save money, comfy enough Cons: Bugs in our first room, Bugs right before we checked out in our new room

Great Getaway

This place was great. It is in a great location to the monorail and the bus stops. Overall our room was nice. The only problem was that the cleaning room forgot to clean our room one day. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Viva Las Value

Truly a home away from home. A condo with a boutique hotel vibe. Luxury matresses and pillows, custom tiled baths, and multli-head showers. I give the furniture and decor 5 stars. Friendly staff. Easy access to the airport. Walking distance to the strip. Don't miss the managers reception with complementary beer, wine and prizes. No timeshare pitches here! Great for families or couples.

Great location, very nice rooms.

Great location right off the strip behind Tropicana parking lot, easy 5 min walk to the strip. MGM Grand, Tropicana and NYNY about 1 block away. Room was large, quiet, clean and bed was very comfortable. Stayed 7 days in 2 bd/2 ba with balcony view of the strip. Full kitchen with all dishes and appliances one would need. No grocery stores within walking distance, but a few on Tropicana if you are driving. Plenty of parking. Housekeeping did a good job the one time we had them come in. Housekeeping will come every day unless you leave the "quite" sign on the door. We did not use the pool, but walked by it several times going to the front desk and it looked like the people using it were having a good time. The fitness center is free. Free WIFI worked very well. The laundry facility was convenient and worked well. The only bad comment I have is that the door lock to the room would not unlock with the key card half the time and I would have to go down to the front desk to get security to come up to the room to let us in. customer service at the front desk could have handled the situation alot better. Other than that, our stay in Vegas was very nice.

If you would like to get away from Vegas for awhile take a short drive to Red Rock Canyon (20 min drive), Valley of Fire (45 min drive) and Zion National Park, UT (2 1/2 hour drive). Well worth the drive and a nice break from the crowds in Vegas.

Friendly staff and excellent service!

Our entire family came to see my granddaughter graduate from High School. We had a one bedroom and a two bedroom. The rooms were well stocked, clean, good size, and great customer service. The staff went out of their way to honor every request and responded quickly. Check-in/check-out was easy and the staff very friendly. We have famiy living in Vegas and have visited there two to three times a year for over twenty years. We have stayed in hotels and time shares both, we will be staying at this resort from now on. Loved it! Thanks for the great rate on Orbitz! It was fanstastic!

Graduation Trip

This was a very comfotable place to stay, short walk to the strip but I would recomend getting a car. The rooms were big enough considering you stay inthem that long, your in Vegas. The staff was wonderful, and very helpful. I would definatley stay here again and for the price I got, I could not have stayed in Motel 6 and have gotten such a great room.

A hidden gem in Las Vegas

The location was just one block from the big-name casinos and the first monorail station. Even though it is within easy-walking distance to the LV strip AND a short drive to the airport, it is amazing how quiet and peaceful it is in the building and on the grounds. I recommend the two-bedroom suite which includes a fully equipped kitchen. Add the breakfast that is included in the room rate and you have the additional savings in meals. The customer service was exceptional and the staff was genuinely happy to help. They even printed my airline boarding passes. Without any hesitation, I recommend this resort.
