Wyndham Grand Desert

Came here with a party of 7. We got a 3 bedroom suite and our experience was awesome! We arrived around 1 & checking was quick and easy. Check in isn’t till 4 so we just dropped off all our luggage & took one of their FREE shuttles to the strip. Coming back was just as quick and convenient. Later we got a call that our room was ready around 3 (an hour early) but we kept walking the strip drinking. The rooms were beautiful, very roomy and our favorite part was the AC! One couple stayed in the master, another in the second bedroom and the 3^rd room had two beds. The couch could be pulled out into a bed too!
Staff: Was extremely friendly and personable. Anytime we needed more towels or toilet paper they were very nice. It takes 30 – 40 min to get to you but that wasn’t an issue for us. We called for it before we actually needed it. (Think ahead).
The pool in tower 3 is 24 hours! I thought that was AWESOME!
ONE CON: We were in tower 3 and in order to get a towel you have to walk to tower 2. I think that’s pretty dumb, they should have it in the pool area! Duhhhh!!! We just used our towels from the room & asked for more later.

Beautiful place, clean & well kept. Lots of palm trees.
3 towers of condos. Each tower has pool close by. Tower 1-​on level 3 adult relaxation pool, hot tub, tiki bar, mini store overpriced (12 pk beer $ 24, milk 1 quart $ 4, dozen eggs $ 5), small deli. Tower 2-​front desk check in, small Starbucks cart/​café, slot machine room, 2-​family zero entry pool, gated hot tub, bbq pits nearby, out door games, lifeguard, only towel hut on site, 3^rd floor large game room with about 8 Xbox seats private tv & chair, ping pong table, air hockey, board games, arcade machines, info desk, rent an Xbox $ 25, DVDs library for use, Xbox games for rent, private 3D movie theater with 30+ seats, free of charge-(3−4 movies play everyday). Tower 1 & 2 circle around both pools, rental cabanas, hot tubs. Tower 3 is a short walk thru breezeway gates on ground (see picture).
Tower 3 has a gated pool & hot tub opened ²⁴⁄₇. Not as large as other pools but very nice & secluded with fence, bathrooms, tables, chairs, indoor sitting area, computer room, small game room opened 24 hrs.
Free shuttle to Harrahs everyday, every 20 minutes-​til 12 am. Pick up from Harrahs also. Rio shuttle takes you from Harrahs to rio free.
Shuttle to Von’s grocery $ 6 @8:30 am.
Shuttle to Fremont street $ 15 at night.
Only thing I didn’t like was no store close by. If you walk, it’s 1 ½ miles to 3 miles & in 100 degrees it’s not good. Use über or lyft for the store.

So we are here for a week with our timeshare. The Hotel is decent and nicely located. There is a free shuttle to the strip every 30 mins for most of the day and there’s is an adult pool and family pool in the main grounds and another smaller pool in the 3^rd tower.
We are in a 2 bedroom suite with all amenities. Table, 3 tv’s, 2 full baths, full kitchen with all utensils, stackable washer and dryer. Apparently the other two towers have been updated but ours is coming next. There are Knicks and old carpets with stain upholstery.
Pros full kitchen, pools, shuttles
Cons, small parking spots, over priced connivence store

Came here for a bachelorette and had a nice stay. The check-​in for some reason took forever though. They were over an hour and a half late, and so we just had to sit and wait. Lame. When we asked for late checkout (after 10 AM) they told us they charge by the hour. Given how late they were to get us into our room they should have comped that.
The rooms were clean and nice, but as I was in the room without the fancy bathroom, they weren’t especially luxurious. The fridge was warm and the AC affected some rooms far more than others, so that was weird. We needed taxis on several occasions and most of the time fewer than requested showed up and we had to über or call again (and again) for another.
Overall, the price was a great deal and the place worked for a large group. If you want something nice with decent customer service, however, look elsewhere.

I may be given this 5 stars prematurely because our stay is not over till tomorrow however… this place rocks … from the mimosa and Corona welcome that my sis and bro enjoyed… to the 24 hour pool/​jacuzzi. to the free shuttle to the strip (harrahs). to the fact the left a birthday card for bro. whose birthday it was LITERALLY signed by the staff (I mean Come on has Ceasars ever done that???)… the rooms are beautiful.. Jacuzzi tubs. separate shower .we have a 2br suite. Fully stocked (minus the food) kitchen… even the soap WAS awesome… I simply am impressed. if I had to chose a negative it would be the parking lot. it’s a bit tight and parking is a bit irritating but it’s Vegas and that’s the case everywhere .let’s be honest… ALL I’M SAYING IS YOU NEED TO STAY HERE… first off the price was awesome.. the commute to the strip is literally not far and once again IT’S Free by the provided shuttle !! .the staff is amazing and attentive … and they have FREE MOVIES. today we are seeing the 5^th wave which none of us have seen yet… I MEAN COME ON. what more could u ask 4!!!

3 stars for price and cleanliness of the suites, but their check out time is 10am and they Charge you up to $ 100 for every hour you stay after that. VERY unreasonable for a morning after partying in Vegas. I feel like it’s a scam they have to charge people more money.

My family came to Vegas and stayed here for a week. We visited and stayed several nights at the resort. We all had a good experience and will probably stay again but the only thing is that Harmon is not a great road for the resort to be on. There are a lot of homeless people walking around watching to steal things. We left our stroller out for less than five minutes and a homeless man stole it! Luckily I found him and took it back. I wish the Wyndham had better security in the outside parking lots facing the street to prevent this from happening. The homeless problem is a big deal. You never know what kind of things they will try and pull.

The level of service is appalling. Not only do they NOT call you if you leave your passport in the room, they put it on a website which takes 3 days to get it back to you. Security even refuse to give it to front desk for pick up.
A 15 second phone call is all too hard apparently.

I stayed here for a full week when my uncle gave me his timeshare to stay in. I typically like staying in the «happening» resorts directly on the strip so I was a little timid about this place, but heck a free week? How can I say no?
The first thing you notice, is that it nearly a mile from the strip (.8 by google) which I thought would get cumbersome. More on that later.
I read the reviews of how to prepare for check-​in, and how they will try to attack you for a timeshare presentation as well as call you at 7am to get you to come to breakfast for a timeshare presentation. I was fully prepared for this. Upon check-​in, once they gave me the key and told me how to get to room, I began walking, was approached by a guy trying to direct me to «guest services» which was really just the timeshare sales desk and let him know I wasn’t interested while I kept walking. Easy Peasy. Upon entering the room, I had absolutely no need for a land line (this is the cell phone age after all) and unplugged both the bedroom and main living room line. (good luck calling me at 7am now)
The room was very spacious with a full kitchen and stocked with everything you need in my opinion. Toast, oven, microwave, full-​size fridge, dishwasher, plenty of dishes/​silverware/​cups and a pitcher in case you wanted to mix (in our case vodka and lemonade) in it.
There was 1 full bathroom that connected from both the bedroom and and living area but there was also a sink in the bedroom area. This was great if you have 2 people getting ready at the same time.
In terms of accessing the strip, they have a shuttle that comes pretty much every 20 minutes it seemed like that takes you to Harrah’s for free. This is cool as Harrah’s is pretty central and you can walk places from there. I wish there was maybe a secondary shuttle schedule that took you south, but oh well. There are also plenty of cabs that frequent the entrance there if you wanted to do that. You could also walk it. I walked to MGM no problem twice. I also walked back a handful of times from places in the strip back to the hotel (at like 4am) It helps if the nights aren’t hot and you need to walk off the 4 million calories of food and drinks.
The pool was plenty large and there enough chairs for everyone from what I could tell. If you are young and want the party scene, this will not be enough for you. When I was there, the average age was around 40 I’d have to guess and no one was partying. Not much you can do about that. If pool party scenes are your speed, you’ll need to head to the strip.
Used the gym here and it had pretty much every cardio machine and a few weight machines along with dumbbells up to 50 pounds.
Check out was easy and simple and a cab was available to take me directly to the airport.
If this was free or I had like 4 – 5 people with me in Vegas, I’d stay here again… but I enjoy staying on the Strip a lot more. Either way, was a fun time.

Why 5 Stars? I tell you why.
I drove by myself windows down, loud music & screaming. I was falling asleep! I needed the energy.
As I arrived @ Wyndham my friends where amazed that I actually made it (as if they don’t know I’m crazy like that)
The place was clean with 2 bathrooms, 3 rooms & a sofa bed.
The master bedroom was a decent size with it’s own bathroom & a tub.
The other room had one bed & the third one had 2.
.
Oh the living is big with a sofa bed.
There’s also a kitchen.
Every time we asked for something they were quick to respond & made us happy.
I love the fact that they have a shuttle service stops at 10 p.m.
They have a massage place with a gym.
Quick story I went to do a quick workout (have to stay young for the pumas, yes pumas not cougars)
Some guy comes up to me «Hey do you mind if I play some jams?» I turn around & tell him go ahead. In my head I’m thinking Gawd I hope he doesn’t play country.
Then boom! He plays Rage Against the Machine, I tell the guy
«Get the F out of here» I love Rage turn that up.
They have a Starbucks & a food place in there plus a small bar.
They best part is they have a ATM it only charges $ 2.50 at the strip it’s $ 7
PS in all the rooms have a big mirror for those that like to get freaky «Guilty»
or need to check how they look I suppose.
I forgot to mention they have a small bar & they were giving free wine samples. I don’t drink wine but hey it’s free why F not
I forgot what tower we stayed it can be a little confusing but you’ll get the hang of it.

I just enjoyed staying at the grand desert it was clean, service was fabulous, the hotel room was nice, clean, spacious and the only reason why i didnt give a five star is because of hassle from the sales people to buy a time share. I would like to go on vacation with the people for tips or the people to try to get you to spend 3 hours of your time with a sales person. They are ao rude i will be going on Unilocal and i will tell my family and friends about the bad additudes from them when u dont buy. They had four people hounding you. And the sales person who originally helped you and kissed your ass will leave you with out a second look back they are rude and i will be complaining because with that tyoe of service i will not be coming back.

The room was absolutely amazing. The pool area was huge and great. The staff was on top of everything and went out of their way to open doors for us and to say hi whenever we passed. Don’t forget the Starbucks cart in the lobby before you’re off to gamble or your meetings.

I stayed her last June while attending EDC Festival. I have to say if you enjoy your belongings being gone through by housekeeping and $ 600 taken from your friends purse this is your place.
Day 2 of staying here we decided to go walk around and check out the pools. My friend and her boyfriend decided to go down and get some food leaving her purse behind in her luggage. Upon coming back and grabbing her wallet to go travel the strip she noticed her money was taken and that her belongings and had been gone through. This is without a doubt an invasion of privacy and unacceptable! The hotel did nothing and would speak with the gal who cleaned our room. For the rest of our trip our do not disturb sign was left out on door of fear of any other items being taken. With the price we paid to say at this location we shouldn’t feel we are being taken care of and our belongings are somewhat safe behind our closed door. I won’t be staying here ever again nor will I recommend this location for the sole purpose of theft.

I booked this place during CES through Endless Vacation Deals. It was an amazing deal within walking distance to CES shuttle stops, complimentary hotel shuttle to the strip, and about 20 minute walk to the south end of the strip.
The hotel itself is clean. There was no daily housekeeping as we were charged a cleaning fee upon departure. A call to housekeeping replenished our supplies of shampoo and conditioner. It’s quite large for a suite compared to some other places. The in suite laundry was convenient. Detergent was even provided. We didn’t use the amenities like the game room, pools, activities.
Don’t be suckered into a timeshare presentation. We were going to do it at first as they advertised free breakfast and that we would get two tickets to Cirque. However, we wanted to watch the Beatles Love show and that would cost us $ 80. Still not too bad for breakfast and 2 Cirque tickets for 90 minutes each for a married couple’s time (married couples must both attend timeshare presentations)? But then the following day we were told that the presentation would take 2 hours. So we asked for an immediate refund and decided to buy our own Cirque Beatles Love tickets.

If you are here to say in a hotel, then like others have said, you get a decent room with decent space and kitchenette.
As for the timeshare, avoid it. We did the math and the «maintenance fee» costs more than the value of the property, even in this nicer location (meaning no mater how few points you buy, you are losing money over just renting). Plus, I don’t know why every timeshare company has to rip you off at every turn. In our case, the promised $ 150 cash card for attending turned out to really be a $ 125 card when I used it at Costco. I mean really? Do you need to lie about $ 25 dollars? What do you think these lies do to the level of trust you generate with your potential customers.
0 stars for the timeshare, 4 stars for the affordable place to stay a night or two = two star overall.

Had to share a room here with a co-​worker and found this hotel to be very clean and accomondating! Large suite style rooms with complete kitchen! I had to sleep on the sofa fold-​out-​bed for 3 nights! I was apprehensive at first but was shocked at how comfortable the sofa-​fold-​out-​bed ended up being! We will return to this location for all our future trade shows. We booked 3 weeks out from a major trade show and received amazing pricing! We were able to easily conduct a meeting in the hotel lobby with zero distractions. The staff is very friendly and accomondating. The pool and courtyard area is immaculant. The courtyard café has a good selection of food and has polite & friendly staff. Easy to park your car in the garage and get to you room. Secure and very clean hotel! See you soon.

I’m usually really unsure about staying anywhere that is not on the strip since it wasn’t a traditional vegas hotel, but it turned out to be a really good find. They have at least 3 jacuzzis that run for 24 hours. We were able to fit 10 – 12 people very comfortably in the jacuzzi and towels were provided. Its walking distance from the strip and they have the shuttle that runs until about 10 PM.
The unit itself was very clean and the kitchen was fully loaded with a huge fridge (because access to food is a must), plenty of plates, cups, and utensils. There was a toaster, microwave, and dishwasher which were all in pretty new condition. The master suite in our 2 bed/​2 bath had a huge spa bathtub that we used after a night out to sooth our feet. The king bed was big enough for 3 of my friends and I to sleep on without pushing each other off, and tons of lighting to get ready in the bathroom. The door on our bathroom started coming apart, but management was really good about coming over and fixing it in a timely manner.
There is a Target and Rite Aid within 2 miles of the place for last minute buys if you don’t want to get it from the store downstairs. If you are okay with über-​ing to the strip at night, this is a great place to stay, I would for sure come back!

The Good:
+ walkeable to the strip in a pinch, with free shuttle direct to Harrah’s
+ extremely big rooms great for larger parties and families (there are ample selections of 1,2, and even 3 bedroom layouts you can choose from)
+ focus on spas and relaxation
+ no casino if gambling is not your vice
+ great service
+ fast wifi
The Not So Good:
— no casino if gambing is your vice
— shuttle stops running at 10PM
— there are multiple towers, so keep that into consideration if your group is getting split into two
— $ 35 late checkout for the first hour, with $ 100 late checkout for each additional hour
Overall a great, clean place to stay. Close enough to the strip to feel the heat, but not close enough to get in on the action. Would recommend for families or large group, but if gambling and food is a priority I’d get something directly on the strip.

Every thing a resort should be. Good location, we walked to the strip last nite, just a couple of blocks.
We came home on the free Wyndham shuttle bus that runs back and forth to the parking lot by Harrah’s on the strip which is near the middle of the strip. It’s just across from Ceasars Place and The Mirage.
The resort is one of Wyndham’s oldest in Las Vegas but don’t let that fool you, it is in a constant state of update and repair.
If you walked into our unit you would think it was just built.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and jumps to our every need. Of course we’re Platinum VIP owners so we get the best of everything, but watching other people we believe everyone is treated nicely.
This is one our favorite Wyndham Vacation Resorts.
Free on site parking is a great bonus in Las Vegas. We never worry about our vehicle, security has a real visible presence in the Resort as well as the parking lot. They are always helpful and friendly.
Vacation Ownership isn’t for everyone, but for the price of one townhouse timeshare we have the use of hundreds of use all over the world, and the number grows constantly.
Wyndham is a powerhouse in the industry and constantly growing and adding more locations.

As we were here to work CES, one of the largest Vegas events all year, prices at Strip hotels were crazy. The previous year our company had paid several hundred a night for Treasure Island, three co-​workers to a room, not worth it — so Wyndham was a great find. We had a three-​bedroom condo for a week, and it cost the same as a few nights at TI.
Interiors are a little dated but extremely spacious, with a full kitchen, living area, and large dining table that was perfect for work. Master had its own bathroom, with the other bath shared between the 2^nd and 3^rd bedrooms. The pool seemed large and nice, though we didn’t take a dip in the 50 degree January weather.
Wyndham is really perfect if you need somewhere to settle in for awhile or you’re traveling with a group, the only drawback being it is off-​Strip and doesn’t have a casino. If you really want that experience, you may not enjoy the extra distance; since we were here for work, it wasn’t a big factor, and I’d say it was better to return to more home-​like comforts at the end of each long day. We had a nice view of the Strip, which is a 10-​minute walk or couple minutes drive away. Parking was always easy, and getting in and out is much easier than Strip hotels can be.
