Club Wyndham Desert Blue

First with transparency : we're Wyndham Vacation Club owners. We've stayed at many WVC properties in Vegas and this is a nice one, though off the beaten path. There are some eating and drinking spots within walking distance and the Rio is across the street. The hourly shuttle to TI is nice but small so you're not guaranteed a seat. The daily 10am grocery shuttle is nice too.Loved our Strip view. Liked the 24 hr convenience store and game room (though why make us pay for games when we've already paid enough ? Give members tokens or something...). One bedroom lock off unit is comfortable but bummer no stovetop burners. Bedding is comfortable and bathroom amenities nice. It's a great spot if you want to focus on the N end of the strip, Arts District and downtown.

Club Wyndham Desert Blue is a timeshare.Did we know this when booking? No. We drove from San Diego to Las Vegas expecting to have a smooth check-in. Upon arrival, we were told that our reservation that we confirmed weeks prior was no longer available.It took us about 45 minutes to have the issue solved. Checking-in is a 2-step process.Step 1: check-in with your credentials and learn about the amenities that the Wyndham has to offer.Step 2: you are directed to the "concierge" desk to pick up your keys but not before being presented with an offer of vouchers and a 4 day, 3 night stay at any Wyndham property of your choice.We were told all we had to do was attend a 60-90 minute presentation and we would receive the voucher of our choice and the Wyndham stay. We were required to place a $40 deposit to "guarantee" our spot.We were told to bring our IDs to the presentation. Upon checking in for the presentation, we were told that we needed to go back to our room to get a credit card to "verify" our identity.We attended the presentation which was cut short since we were adamant about not having interest in purchasing a Wyndham timeshare.Our presenter was shocked that we qualified for the presentation since a credit check is performed for everyone who checks in to the Wyndham. This was news to us.Before leaving, we were sent to another presenter to answer some questions about our experience and was asked multiple times if we were sure that we wanted to pass on owning a timeshare. We declined. Again.We received our voucher for attending the presentation but when we asked about receiving the 4 day, 3 night stay we were greeted with a confused looked.This stay is located in a safe location that is close to basic necessities, pretty quiet and isn't too far from the strip.Workers are nice and helpful.There is a cocktail mixer in the lobby and a coffee hour in the morning. There is also a pretty cheap small convenience store in the lobby.Free shuttle service to Treasure Island every hour. The shuttle also offers a grocery route in the morning.You receive the typical room card and also a wristband that you scan to gain entry to some parts of the building including the computer room, game room, elevators and the convenience store.Parking is good and not too far of a walk from the main entrance. Valet service is available.Our room was clean, spacious and had a kitchenette that included a dishwasher. The walls are thin so every morning we were awaken by our neighbor having a conversation.I might suggest the Wyndham if you don't mind:1. Unnecessary steps to check-in and impatient front desk staff.2. Listening to a sales pitch before receiving your room key and wristbands.3. Possibly attending a timeshare presentation.4. A credit check when you check-in.

My family and I came from out of state to celebrate over the holiday weekend. Our flight got changed and we arrived hours earlier than check in thinking we'd have to wait but we were placed in a room instantly! The staff has been super friendly, they have so many great amenities and activities for kids to do. My favorite part I have to say was the complimentary margaritas and coffee bar in the morning

Very friendly service, rooms were big and beautiful and Margaritaville themed. I felt very safe here and they give out a bracelet to everyone which activates your room door your access to the pool and the elevators. Bed was very comfortable and it was nice having a full fridge and oven stove. Furnished kitchen and the Jacuzzi tub was fantastic. I would totally stay here again.

Unassuming location off strip. Location is convenient and close enough but far enough away from the traffic and bustle of The Strip. You can drive up and possibly check in early. If not, they will hold your luggage until regular check-in starts at 4 pm. The valet is complimentary here, and there is no parking fee. We stayed here free. You will be directed to their wristband desk, and this is where they will try their hardest to get you to sign up for their sales presentation. You don't have to. However, it will usually come with a freebie of some sort. I know there are up to 4 bedroom units you can reserve. We had a 1 bedroom deluxe which comes with a sleeper sofa, king bed in master, full kitchen to cook with fridge and dining area. The kitchens are highly valuable to us to help save money on food here in Las Vegas. There are always daily activities and sometimes they include free food and drink. This particular stay there was an Octoberfest celebration with free brats, pretzels, and beer and our pool day on Sunday we had free mimosas!The pool area is beautiful, and you can reserve a cabana for a fee. There is also an outdoor bar and grill. My experiences are always exceptional with Club Wyndham, and Desert Blue is nothing less than spectacular.

Definitely dropped from my past multiple visits annually.The bad:Arrived to a 2 bedroom deluxe Living room phone wasn't working Living room tv wasn't working Wall outlets wasn't working Had to call an engineer to reset the breakers. (It was locked out in the master bedroom) The pool-- you cannot bring anything like a soft ball to play catchCan't bring drinks to poolThe bar- the drinks are served until 9pmFood stops around 5-6pmThe person that cooked for us 2nd day was upset we had a pretty large order. The amount of the $7 fries in a box was HALF than the first day. (Not consistent: not good)Pizza was terrible-Owners update guy (not gonna mention name) presented something to me that basically told me I'm a fool if I don't do what he suggested, but omitted all the necessary details. Basically told me to buy more time share but I had to ask 10-15 questions to get it out of him. At the end of the day he wanted me to buy 100,000 more points, his tactics was to tell me to go sell the 100,000 points, and make back my monthly maintenance fees that way. Or have their company sell the points and I get 60% of profit. He was being very vague and tries to sell me but not being upfront. The next person, the supervisor was up front, gave me the real and I appreciated that. The good: Check in processCleanliness Owners update was not pushy at all and we got our gift in an hour.Free coffee in the morning near elevators The bar- Constantine was amazing with service at the bar. The bar food: fries were good, chicken tenders were good.Drinks overall were goodGet a bucket of beers vs single, it's cheaper! Get a bucket of mixed drinks vs a regular cup! You get more for the buck. Pool area: have games you can playPlenty of towels they will offer you and you won't have to check them in or out. Bag checks at pool entrance. (Safety & they don't want you to bring your own alcohol in)Gift shop in case you are lazy to go out n grab quick snack, or drinks but you will pay the price. Valet staff was friendly and helpful, polite and professional. This resort used to be 5 star for me... but it's dipping down.

Having previously stayed at the sister property Wyndham Grand Desert, I had some high expectations rolling into the newer Desert Blue.CHECK IN: was pretty efficient, they let me check in at 2 which was well before the 4pm check in which is way too late (IMO) Note: They have you go to another desk to get the wristband if you want it.. that guy called me as soon as I walked in my room. He tried to get me to come back down to that desk and talk to him, which I did not. Dont want the sales pitch.ROOM: Wow, for a studio it was quite commodious! I felt like i had plenty of room and the accommodation was very inviting with the blue colors and we all know blue is extremely a la mode these days. The fridge was smaller and no range but everything else you'd need was right there. Snug accommodations.POOL: I liked this pool area. There were 2 large pools, a splash pad and 2 hot tubs. Other notable mentions was a pool bar & Grill with a larger menu than you'd expect, but the grill closes early. The food is fair to middling as well.This property was a pleasant surprise. No charge for parking, Secure building and the gates around the back and side entrances (Highland dr) make the lots much more secure from people who don't belong wandering or driving in.

This facility is extremely outdated, unclean, and smells foul. The management and staff are not hospitable at all.

Hotel/timeshare is very nice. Pool area is awesome with a bar. Wish it was openLater. All the staff has been helpful and very nice. Will come back.

We had a fantastic stay, everything was top notch and the service was incredible. I was surprised to read other reviews saying that they tried hard to sell you a timeshare, we had nothing of the sort. In fact it was the most pleasant check in experience I think I've ever had, our concierge Erick was exceptionally warm, friendly and helpful! The facility is absolutely beautiful, the amenities are in great shape, our room was spotless and had everything we needed. The shuttle was a total game changer, we had no trouble getting a seat, it was fast and easy and convenient and saved us a lot in Uber costs. We will stay here every time we come to Vegas.
