We are staying at the Grandview on 3/21 for 2 weeks and wondered if they provide personal items such as shampoo, soap, lotion. looking to lighten our luggage if possible..thanks so much judy from CT:hi:
 
Grandview

We stayed at the Grandview last year and they did provide soap, shampoo, along with a couple of boxes of laudry detergent. We needed more laundry detergent while we were there and were able to purchase $1 each more individual use boxes. We were very happy with the Grandview. The Southpointe casino next door was very nice. I would not hesitate in staying at the Grandview again if ever in Vegas.

While you're here for two weeks you should check out the new M Resort that just opened at St. Rose Parkway and the I-15 in Henderson. From the Grandview you'd just drive south on Las Vegas Blvd. and you'll come to it soon. You'll probably be able to see it from the Grandview.

It got rave reviews at the grand opening last night. We hope to try out their buffet later this week.

Oh, yes! We go there often now. Lunch seems to be the best deal for us--it's just $12.99 if you sign up for a free players card. That saves $2. The food is fresh, delicious, and the variety is astounding. There is complementary beer and wine, lattes & cappucinos w/dessert, and just about every kind of food you can think of.

The M Resort is really nice, too. There's a bar on the top floor that has an outdoor seating area with a phenomenal view of the Strip and whole valley.

Just wanted to update this post: The M has made a change to their buffet schedule. The regular lunch that I mentioned above is available only on Monday through Thursday. On Friday through Sunday it's an all-day/evening seafood buffet and the price is considerably higher: $29.99.

Another update: We were over there tonight with some friends & asked about the lunch buffet. They no longer give you a $2 discount with a players card so the price is $14.99--still worth it, IMHO.

Aaron, so you like the Grandview? Have you traded using RCI? We are considering buying there (resale) and wonder how current owners are doing..I see you're Prairie Canadian, we're from Edmonton..

are all weeks really "red weeks" like thay say?

It will be interesting to hear from Grandview owners as to the trading power they've gotten. There are so many nice timeshares in Las Vegas that there is usually availability somewhere most any time of year. It probably wouldn't have the trading power of some other popular destination that had fewer units available, such as a summer beach week or winter ski-in ski-out week.

But, if you are buying this one to use yourself and you're getting a bargain price, it might be a good thing. The Grandview is very nice--it's next to South Point, which is a popular casino with a lot to offer. It is several miles south of the main part of the Strip, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on one's perspective.

I think this thread is fine.
 
Grandview at Las Vegas owner

Hello, I own a 1-bedroom at Grandview and have stayed there 4-5 times already. FYI, I bought resale about 3-years ago for approx $1600.00, I am sure there are better deals out there now. For me, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with everything you need and then some, the location is away from the Strip which for me is nice as I like to get away from the Strip action and do not want to be in it for every day, all day. They sent a vote recently to be able to utilize the room when the sales people leave the property for good to possibly put a little resturaunt or gift store or any appropriatly zoned use for the space. I have no regrets, have traded mine into Disney Vacation Club, that is my only trade as I love Las Vegas. Enjoy!
 
Sorry, this is a little off topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread. We're going to the Grandview in 2 1/2 weeks. Should we request the newest building as an RCI exchanger? How is the parking? I recall reading that there is a parking garage for the newer buildings. I also like to stay on the top floor so there is no one walking above us. Do you think this is doable? How is the weather during mid February so we'll know how to pack?

We have a two bedroom unit that sleeps 8. Will this be a problem since I'm traveling with 3 teens? Are all two bedroom units a lockout? Is there a way to keep the doors open to both units without someone looking in from the hallway?

The newest buildings are always preferable, if they have top floor they will give it to you, O have not ever heard anybody above me walking but do hear the people next door. You can try to request ahead of time but not sure they are so good at adhering to that, best bet is to get there and make the request at that time and if available they will give it to you but still call ahead of time, perhaps they are better at holding the requests??
Parking every time I have been there is a chore, hopefully they did build a garage they could use it. I have at times had to park in the chek-in parking lot overnight bcause there were no remaining spots. All units are lock-off and you can keep the connecting doors open without any problems as there is a main door befor entering the 2-lock-off doors. I hope this clarifies all your questions, have a great time.
 
I appreciate your help. Thanks so much.
 
Stayed at the Grandview 2 years ago during Presidents weekend. Was very happy with the resort. All 2 bedrooms are lockout to my knowledge. You are basically getting two 1 bdr with a shared vestibule area.

Weather that time of year during our trip was quite nice. mid to upper 70's in the day and cool at night. So we were in shorts during the day and had a sweatshirt at night.

Update: I emailed the resort yesterday and received a response. I requested a top floor in one of the newer non-smoking buildings. One of the teens traveling with me has severe asthma. Hopefully we'll get a unit to our liking.

Thanks for your help.

Ok first off, we purchased from the developer. Yes, we got screwed over, but such is life. If there weren't others purchasing from the developer, those leaches along the strip heckling you with "free"stuff" woudln't have jobs. So think of it as a stimulus!
We purchased there 4 years ago. 2bdrm, with the 4 bonus weeks.
So far our trades have been what we have been looking for. Couple weeks in BC, couple weeks in Arizona, 3 weeks in Hawaii, and have gone back to the grandview now for 5 weeks total.
We are unique in that with work, i have April and most of may off, every year, so can plan ahead. We are also able to utilize the bonus weeks with last call. so for us, has been good.
The resort itself, we really like. Newer, clean, and south on the strip. The shouth point next door is great, and also has a shuttle to Mandalay Bay if you are wanting to get your booze on and not drive. DO GET a rental car if you want to really enjoy vegas. Go to primm, hoover, bass pro, etc. lots to do and see other than the usual suspects on the strip.
hope that gives some help.
thanks

Thanks for all the info, everyone! Much appreciated!

true enough.
Just is a hard pill tp swallow knowing what we COULD have saved, if I had found TUG before the purchase. However, we do have our health, home, family and a job. So all is not lost.
I'm a half full kinda guy, and more people should think that way!

When we urge people to buy resale, we are in no way criticizing people who have bought from the developer. Many Tuggers, myself included, have bought from a developer because we didn't know about TUG or the resale market or because the purchase made sense at the time.

While it's true that if there were no original developer purchasers, there would be no resale market, it seems to me that there could be a more consumer-friendly way to sell timeshares than the current model where prospects have to be lured into the sales office with gifts and then held hostage for hours with all kinds of lies and misrepresentations about the value of the timeshare.

Check-in day determines which building at the Grandview.

Oh, thanks for the update. Which of the newer buildings have a Saturday check in, and is also non-smoking? BTW, where do we shop for groceries? Is there a Walmart nearby? We will be there this month.

There is a Walmart Neighborhood Market that is just a grocery store just a few blocks to the east on Silverado Ranch. Here's the address: 490 East Silverado Ranch Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV‎ - (702) 263-7550 You can go a few more blocks east on the same street and find a Smith's which is the same as Kroger. The address is 9750 South Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV‎ - (702) 617-1070‎. S. Maryland Parkway is a cross street on Silverado Ranch.

There is also a Whole Foods store north of the Grandview on Las Vegas Blvd. at this address: 6689 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(702) 425-8607

Do a mapquest for each one so you'll know exactly where they are.

Someone already asked this question in this thread but I did not see it answered.

Does the check in day indicate which building you will be assigned to? We checkin on a Sunday last week of April.
 
Groceries

If you head North toward The Strip (about 1-mile) down on your right there is a Discount Grocery store, you can't miss it, I do my shopping there, its close and priced right. I can't recall the name but it stands out as you drive toward the Strip.
