We've been to Vegas many times since 2018 and never rent a car.
We've stayed at Desert Rose in fall of 2020. Thought it was a nice place, but we booked for a top floor outside facing, otherwise you face others in a courtyard. No shuttles to anywhere offered. At that time was a quick walk through the side of oyo, then through tropicana property to the strip. With tropicana now gone, you'd need to walk to the front of oyo and up tropicana ave. to the strip.
We've stayed twice at Wyndham Tropicana, which shares the property with Worldmark Tropicana. We also reserved the top floor to lessen the noise. They had regular shuttle service to the strip, Orleans (which is just a quick walk) and once a day to grocery store.
We enjoyed both of those properties. We've also stayed many times at HICV Desert Club, but they have discontinued their shuttle service after covid. It is only a 5-10 minute walk to the strip, cutting through the caesars offices to the back of the high roller. Always requested and received the top floor, in the condos closest to the front around the pool. Never take a unit facing the street, Koval, as the constant traffic kept those people awake. 5 pools there, all clean, staff was always excellent, with no pressure to attend sale pitch. But I've seen that has now changed, and people are harassed and badgered to attend. So with that, and no shuttle service especially to Fremont St, we won't stay there again.
Last fall they weren't available so booked Cliffs at Peace Canyon which is now our favourite, we've been back this past spring, and again this past September/October. Located in Summerlin they have regular hourly shuttle service to the strip, grocery store anytime on the strip run, Red Rock Casino a couple times per day, and Fremont Street every evening. So you do not need to drive and pay parking fees for the strip and fremont street, plus can have a drink or more and not worry. There is a huge outdoor mall in Summerlin a 5 minute walk from Red Rock Hotel, so we just got the shuttle and got dropped off at the mall. Tons of great places there to shop and eat, on Saturdays till 2 pm they have an outdoor market with amazing products and foods.
Everything about this place makes it a real vacation. A very quiet chill atmosphere, staff there are fantastic, pool and hot tub are beautiful, tons of comfy lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas.
All 3 times we stayed we've requested and received the same unit which they're happy to do, and always got into our unit before 4:00. Many repeat visitors there, and we even saw some this past September that we saw last September.
I could go on and on obviously, but any questions just ask away.
