I stayed at this IHG property for 3 nights as part of the Holiday Inn Club Vacation timeshare deal<\/a>. This property was acquired by IHG about 3 years ago and they are currently making updates to all the rooms in the property. It\u00a0is located east of the strip near the Quad and Flamingo and it is within a 5-10 min walking distance from there.<\/p>\n

The room was ready when I came to check in and the front desk reminded me about my timeshare presentation. The hotel also has shuttles that go to certain areas of the strip at select times. I gave them my Platinum number as well just in case to earn any points for incidental charges. They don’t have free continental breakfast but they do have a small eating place on site for you to get food.<\/p>\n

The room was a large suite with a living room and kitchen which is supplied with all the utensils. It would be great for families here as there is also a sofa couch for your children or family to sleep on. There is also a balcony for you to sit outside to enjoy your breakfast or coffee. Here are some pics of the\u00a0suite. The only bad thing about the room was that there was just a small space between the wall and the foot of the bed so you felt you had to squeeze to pass around it.<\/p>\n

The resort also has 5 pools for you to relax or for your kids to play in and there are outdoor grills nearby. There is also a game room on site with a pool and ping pong table and 2 fitness centers on site as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since this stay was part of the Timeshare presentation, I just had to pay about $30 for tax charges and that was it.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in staying at this resort on points, you can redeem 35k IHG points for a 1 Bedroom\u00a0Villa but honestly, I’ve seen prices for 2 Bedroom Villas for for a low cost which would be great for a family weekend getaway.<\/p>\n
