We bought at the HGVC last year and had some bonus points to use so we booked this stay about a month before the trip. It was our first time staying as "owners" at the property (we did stay last year before buying) and we have had a great experience.
The room - We were in tower 2 on the top (39th) floor. A one bedroom plus. Very spacious with full sized kitchen and living/dining space with a sleeper sofa, 42-inch plasma tv and bose surround sound - nice to watch some movies with during down time. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to make a complete meal or just some cereal before a day out. There is a toaster, coffee maker, microwave, blender, oven, garbage disposal and full size fridge/freezer(with ice maker). All the dishes, utensils etc that you needed - including a very nice set of cuisinart pots and pans for that discriminating cook! Stacked washer and dryer in unit isn't huge but worked just fine! The bathroom was quite large with a huge walk in shower with not only regular shower head but four other sprayers to make the experience indulgent. Bedroom had a jacuzi tub and closet as well as a king bed TV and dresser. Plenty of storage room for everyone. All the furnishings appeared well taken care of and everything - couch, pull out sleeper in sofa, and bed was comfortable. Wireless internet was complimentary in the room. There were a couple issues with cable going out during our stay - a minor annoyance.
Check in was a breeze with very helpful bell staff who brought our suitcases and groceries to the room. We were trying to have a low budget vacation so we stocked up on snacks, drinks and even food to grill for dinner on the gas grills in the pool area.
The facilities of this hotel are lovely- it's beautiful and spacious and even with quite a few other vacationers we didn't feel overwhelmed. Pool area is great - one pool is significantly cooler than the other for some mysterious reason. There are plenty of chairs around the pool to relax in. Waves - the poolside grill has reasonably priced fare with generous portions. The Marketplace store in the lower level has most things you would need if you didn't stock up at the store or forgot something. Service here was a bit slow but sped up when more cashiers were added.
Valet was typically quick and curious. There is an extra charge of $8 per day but with the Vegas August heat I was happy to pay this instead of schlepping to my car in self park. There isn't a casino on this property but there are MANY around and they are easy to get to via car, bus or taxi.
Some people mention construction in their reviews - but right now there isn't any going on in the property. Word is that they are "redesigning" - possibly really just slowing down due to the recession. There was construction across the street - and in asking to face away from the HGVC construction (I didn't realize there wasn't any) we faced that construction. But couldn't hear it at all. I would suggest calling the property if you have concerns.
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much - we were here for a bit over a week so really spent most of the time relaxing - and the room and property was perfect for this!
