Desert Club ResortRental Guest Reviews

In Vegas for 1-night? Multi? Why not stay here ☺️

As an IHG Rewards there are some perks that are pretty sweet to indulge on, one of them being a Free Anniversary Night at any of their qualifying IHG Properties. I asked Mom, "where she wanted to go?" and immediately responded with, "Las Vegas, I haven't been there in years and want to see how much has changed". With a bit of digging and trying to find a place that would accommodate all of our needs, even if it was just for one night, I decided on the Holiday Day Inn Desert Club Resort and for being a Hotel that's not immediately on the very Last Vegas Strip itself, but just one local bus ride away or one very short Uber/Taxi/Zoox ride away from all the very popular locations and attractions , it was absolutely perfect. This resort is an excellent choice to cater to your needs whether you're trying to enjoy Vegas with the family or friends for a few days in a location that's not in the the loud and bustling scene of the middle of the strip, with over 4 pools located on the Villa which were very lively and filled with guests and their close ones, to their very own gaming room located within the property, there was plenty to do just on the Resort itself alone. Their on site Bar and Grill - Prospect Joe's - Gold Mine had a great selection and variety of dishes to try from. Mom tried their Garlic Alfredo Linguini with Grilled Chicken while I had their Western Burger, it was save to say we left Gold Mine and headed back to our rooms feeling happy with full bellies . And of course, we couldn't forget about snagging some of their breakfast French Toast and Omelettes in the morning , before our travels back home after a long evening the prior night of sight seeing of Sin City . "Would you come back and stay here again?" Absolutely! "Do you highly recommend this place?" Well let me ask you, "is water wet?" Answer should be obvious by now. . Mom and I aren't frequent travelers but we have been trying to get out more often and enjoy life. So if you're trying to get your feet wet in terms of getting a first-hand experience at traveling and staying at a resort, Holiday Day Inn Desert Club is the perfect starting point. . One thing I did notice was that this location did not have any elevator's and all of their villas had a second or third story so it would be very unfortunate if you had lots of luggage to haul up the stairs to your unit . We were blessed and fortunate to have our room on their first floor, especially since Mom has a bad knee she can't walk on or stand for too long. Our room facing away from the Sphere (which you can get an amazing view of it from inside the property) so we didn't have face any issues on too much light entering our unit, so we're really happy with that. Happy and Safe Travels Everyone!! ️

This is a beautiful clean hotel with amazing staff

Clean, staff is very nice and helpful, extremely close to Sphere.

Great spot off the strip

This location is close to the airport. It’s not in the strip, but is walking distance. It’s perfect if you don’t want all the hubbub from the strip, but still want to be close to all the things. The view of the Sphere was amazing; it was also literally less than 5 min from there which was great for the concert. The kitchen was well equipped, and I appreciated the access to laundry (which may be on your balcony!) The drawbacks were limited housekeeping; I’m not used to taking out my trash at a hotel, lol. I would also caution the staff on the upselling. Check-in was weird, because you couldn’t just check-in, there was the vacation station, where you got your wristband key, but also quite the sales pitch. Admittedly, I was not very entertained by the pitch or being asked to spend 2 hours to listen to info (and I declined doing so), however, I noticed immediately afterwards, the front desk person’s attitude shifted. It made me feel uneasy. I found myself avoiding the front desk after that and not asking questions because I didn’t like the shift. Overall, it was an amazing experience. But please, less on the timeshare bit!

Phish Stay

Had a great time attending the Phish shows at the Sphere. The location was perfect, located between the Sphere and the Tuscany where Shakedown was.

Great for families! Will stay again!

The Activity Center offered fun stuff to do multiple times per day and the staff were so kind to my kids! Multiple pools with different features (e.g., one had a large shallow area) and courtyard areas with well-maintained BBQ grills and shade structures offered plenty of areas to relax while the kids played. The property was overall very well maintained with such a variety of features that there was plenty of room for all the different groups of patrons (families, partiers, retirees, etc) to not feel crowded.

Worked well for us!

After an annoying checkin, things went smooth. Had a clean and spacious 2 bedroom unit. On 3rd floor (no elevators -fyi) Very pleased with the accommodations . Each bedroom had 1 king bed- super comfy. Large closets, loved the washer and dryer. The primary bedroom bathroom had the largest tub I’ve ever seen in a hotel or a home… The 2nd bedroom bathroom had a shower stall. Location is 8 min walkable /ideal for Sphere performance (saw Wizard of Oz- loved it) Location also walkable to Linq promenade with HighRoller Ferris wheel.(15 min) Walking to Strip takes at least 18 min .. this can be a drag if you’re planning to go way up or way down the strip. So beware and potentially take cab. Had a late night meal at Goldmine grill. It was very good. Our server was super sweet. The grounds were clean and well cared for. Parking by the unit was easy. Large complex multiple pools and whirlpools which thankfully are open till 10pm. This allowed my husband and I to get a hot soak to sore muscles before bed. Thank you HI Club Vacations. This resort is really nice for families and people who want a quieter non-casino / smoke free experience

No ELEVATORS carry bags up many stairs

There is no elevator to 2nd and 3 rd floors. It is 18 steps for each level. If you have any health condition call ahead for ground room. The building 2 was horrible. Mattress sagged into a V. The SPHERE lights come through curtains, they are room darkening curtains. The room has thin walls and windows so it sounded and vibrated as if I Was sleeping ON THE BOULEVARD....every sound was amplified. The late night front desk attendance were very nice and tried to accommodate. However the gentleman in the morning was rude and condescending. The restaurant was pleasant and staff friendly.

Nice rooms and grounds, but staff response was bad

Our room was very nice with two beds and two baths, nice living area with dining, full kitchen and washer/dryer. The bathrooms were very nice with big showers and great water pressure. Clean room. Service was not up to par. The first day, we requested a shuttle to the lobby after we had communicated several times with staff via text. We did not get a response until much later in the evening and well after we needed the service. (I have temporary mobility issues and walking the entire length of the property was a challenge, to say the least!) After we returned from dinner, we requested ice the same way. No response. My wife called the front desk and asked about the ice and also requested some extra pillows. The items didn't come until 11:45 pm, again well after we requested them. The last issue was on Saturday night where my wife called and asked for some extra blankets. They came 2 hours later! Since when you arrive you are forced to consider a presentation on the IHG properties (timeshare?!), the poor service level does not warrant my interest at all.

Best location in town

I recommend staying in this hotel !!! Perfect location, comfortable bed, fireplace in living room, nice kitchen, with all appliances & amenities including in kitchen. Beautiful view from hotel and just 15-20 min walking distance from the town.

Highly recommended

Our stay here was amazing We chose this property because it was a 5 minute walk to the Sphere but was more than we expected and will stay here again
