Club Wyndham Grand Desert Review
Comprehensive Review of Club Wyndham Grand Desert
Nestled just one block east of the Las Vegas Strip, Club Wyndham Grand Desert offers a unique blend of resort-style amenities and residential comfort that sets it apart from typical Vegas hotels. This timeshare property welcomes both owners and rental guests to experience spacious accommodations with full kitchens, multiple pools, and a surprisingly tranquil atmosphere despite its prime location.
Accommodations & Amenities
The property features 1-3 bedroom suites with separate living areas, fully equipped kitchens (including full-size refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers), and private balconies. The decor leans toward traditional timeshare styling with comfortable furnishings, though some units show slight wear. Each suite includes daily housekeeping service, complimentary Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs.
The resort boasts three swimming pools (one heated year-round), multiple hot tubs, and two poolside bars. The fitness center is well-maintained with modern equipment, while the game room and scheduled activities provide entertainment for families. The property features a convenience store, barbecue areas, and free parking—a significant value in Las Vegas.
Service Quality
Staff members are generally friendly and responsive, though service consistency can vary. Check-in processes are efficient, but timeshare owners may experience promotional pitches. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, and the front desk provides reliable information about local attractions.
Location & Value
The location is arguably the property's greatest asset. Situated behind the MGM Grand, guests can walk to the Strip in 5-7 minutes while enjoying relative quiet at night. The monorail station at MGM provides easy access to the Convention Center and other Strip properties. With suite rates often comparable to standard hotel rooms on the Strip, the value proposition is excellent for those wanting space and kitchen facilities.
Notable Features
What makes Club Wyndham Grand Desert special is its ability to provide a genuine resort experience while maintaining proximity to the Strip action. The multiple pool areas (including a quieter adult-oriented pool) cater to different preferences, and the full kitchens allow for significant savings on dining costs. The property feels more like a residential community than a typical hotel, offering a refreshing alternative to the casino hotel experience.
Recommendations
Families: Ideal choice with separate bedrooms, kitchen facilities, and multiple pools. The game room and scheduled activities keep children entertained.
Couples: Excellent for those seeking more space and privacy than standard hotel rooms offer. The adult pool provides a peaceful retreat.
Extended Stays: Perfect for visitors spending several days in Vegas, thanks to laundry facilities and full kitchens.
Business Travelers: Good option for those needing workspace and kitchen facilities, though the lack of business center might be a drawback for some.
