Wyndham Grand Deset Resort. Where to start? Lets start with location.\n\nContrary to what you might hear, you do need a car to go around to visit the hotels. True, there are miles of passageways and a monorail, however, it is advisable to have a car and a GPS. Wyndham Grand Desert is about a five minute drive to the main Strip. They are located on East Harmon Drive and the nearest casinos are the MGM Grand and Ballys. The one thing I appreciated about their location being away from the Strip is that there were no loud, drunken idiots clamoring out of stretch limos or staggering, puking and claiming their undying love to their fellow lushes on the sidewalk. \n\nOne of Grand Wyndham Desert Resort's best qualities - great customer service. Check in was fast, their concierge and information was very helpful in letting us know the ins and outs of the area, plus getting some fantastic deals on shows. A smile greeted us wherever we went.\n\nI'm not going to go into too much detail about the pool, the parking, the bar or the gym, suffice to say they were all clean. The pool has two areas - one for kids and one for adults. Trust me, the adult pool was more sanitary. Gym was pretty basic - devoid of people (probably hittin the buffet) except for the hardcore athletes.\nParking can be a bit of an issue. There are THREE buildings that are part of the hotel, and spots can get used up fast. So be prepared for a walk if you come staggering back after puking your guts out after a night on the town.\n\nThe rooms are very spacious and clean. If you are lucky enough to book a suite, they have two bathrooms, a washer/dryer, mini kitchen (with fridge, dish washer, toaster and coffee machine) and a hot tub. A BIG HINT - buy your own bottled water BEFORE you check in. Bottled water is at a PREMIUM in Vegas, and you will be drinking a lot of it due to the climate.\n\nSecurity here is tighter than a pair of speedos. You need your door key to operate the elevators and there are employees wandering the building at all times of the day. Our room had a personal safe, which was an added plus.\n\nIf they try to pull you into the 45 minute time sharing seminar, do it. They have some cool perks, like discounted shows or a free dinner for two at a food restaurant.\n\nWe are part of a time share that includes Wyndham resorts, so our stay was literally free. I do know they have some great packages for vacation stays, so be sure to look into them.\n\nAnd the downside? This is more a hotel for families with and without kids, and people who want to relax. You aren't going to see Girls Gone Wild being filmed here or 'massage therapists' in 4\" heels and a dress almost falling off walking through these halls. This is a chill, relaxing and stress free hotel. Plus, it is NON-SMOKING anywhere.\n\nI would highly recommend this hotel to stay if you are bringing the family.
