JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa vs Club Wyndham Grand Desert: Luxury Resort vs Family-Friendly Timeshare

Accommodations & Room Quality

JW Marriott features 541 sophisticated guest rooms and suites with plush bedding, marble bathrooms, and contemporary furnishings. Standard rooms average 450 sq ft with premium amenities. Club Wyndham offers 842 timeshare-style suites ranging from studios to 3-bedroom units, all featuring full kitchens, separate living areas, and washer/dryers. While functional, the decor is more dated compared to JW's luxury finishings.

Winner: JW Marriott (for luxury), Club Wyndham (for space and practicality)

Amenities & Facilities

JW Marriott boasts two championship golf courses, a 25,000 sq ft spa, multiple pools including an adults-only pool, fitness center, and casino. The resort fee includes access to most recreational facilities. Club Wyndham features three swimming pools, multiple hot tubs, a children's splash pad, game room, fitness center, and barbecue areas. The emphasis is on family recreation rather than luxury amenities.

Winner: JW Marriott

Dining Options

JW Marriott offers seven restaurants and bars including Spiedini (Italian fine dining), Ceres (breakfast buffet), and Rí Rá Irish Pub. Quality is consistently high with full room service available. Club Wyndham has limited on-site dining with just a cafe and pool bar, though the full kitchens in suites allow for self-catering. Numerous Strip restaurants are within walking distance.

Winner: JW Marriott

Location & Accessibility

JW Marriott is located in the upscale Summerlin area, requiring 20-30 minute drives to the Strip or downtown. The seclusion provides tranquility but limits spontaneous Strip access. Club Wyndham sits just east of the Strip with monorail access and walking distance to numerous attractions, though the immediate area lacks the prestige of Summerlin.

Winner: Club Wyndham (for Strip proximity)

Value & Pricing

JW Marriott rooms start at $199-$399/night plus $45 resort fee. Club Wyndham studios start at $89-$169/night with lower fees, while larger suites offer tremendous value for families. The kitchen facilities provide significant food cost savings.

Winner: Club Wyndham

Service Quality

JW Marriott maintains polished Marriott service standards with 24-hour concierge, attentive staff, and personalized service. Club Wyndham offers functional timeshare-style service with front desk and maintenance support, though less personalized than luxury hotel standards.
