Positives: A great place to stay off the boulevard. It was comfortable, clean and convenient. The full size kitchen was very useful and helped save money on food. A washer and dryer was in the room. The pool and exercise facilities were nice. The staff was helpful and reliable. The shuttle to Harrah's made life easier. Got a great price from Craigs List.

Negatives: If you're not up for walking, don't stay off the strip. We're physically active, but with traffic and people, it took 30 minutes to walk to the strip. There is a shuttle but one night it didn't make the last stop, or we missed it, even though we were at the stop 15 minutes early, and waited 15 minutes afterwards.

The first night, a Saturday, there was lots of noise. I forgot my earplugs, so be prepared. Slamming doors, A/C noise, and people partying at the pool.

Stayed at the Wyndham with my 4 girlfriend last year. It was my friends timeshare. We had a 3 Bedroom unit and boy was I impressed. It was very comfortable and all of us had a bed to sleep in. The kitchen was a really good size and so was the livingroom and dining room. It was great to have 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer in the unit. Everything was very clean. I have no complaints and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Our stay at the Grand Desert was very nice. We booked through an owner and got a really good deal. I did have a slight delay at the front desk for some unknown reason. (I was the only one checking in?). The room was very nice, roomy and clean. Just like a nice one bedroom apartment. It also had a jacuzzi which was very nice to use as well. Parking was very convenient. Pool area is also very nice and clean. Staff was very friendly and you could not leave the hotel without seeing multiple staff members constantly cleaning on your way. They seem to go above and beyond to make sure this is a first class experience in my opinion. It does have limited dining and entertainment options right at the hotel, but you are in Vegas and can find that anywhere a very short distance away. We stayed at the Signature on the same trip and me and my wife both agree we would choose the Wyndham first.

Stayed here with six girlfriends on a girls weekend getaway. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, service was excellent, and the location was not bad at all. You'll need a car to get to the Strip, but they do offer some limited shuttle service to the Strip if you don't want to drive.

Did not eat at any of the restaurants, so I can't vouch for that. We didn't use the pool or jacuzzi, but from what I could see out the window of our room, they were quite popular with the guests.

I think this is a great spot for families and friends, but I would not recommend it for a romantic getaway - it's a timeshare property, so you'll see lots of older couples and young families and groups like us (seven women hanging out).

We stayed in a two-room suite, which had a small kitchenette. Just be forewarned that they do not clean the rooms during a short stay unless you request it.

All in all, I think that this is a good place to stay!
