I would like to make a few comments about the HGVC Strip property upon returning.
The wife and I own at the Karen property and usually stay there or the Flamingo property during our visits to Las Vegas. This time, however, we could not get into the Flamingo and needed a three bedroom so we opted for the newer Las Vegas Strip property. Although we have been through the tour of the property this was the first time actually staying there.
As usual with HGVC we were very happy with the staff and service. From the door men to the marketplace staff, each was extremely polite and friendly. The one exception would be the two gals at the conceirge. They were not at all helpful. (I will leave it at that)
We had a 3 bedroom plus on the 32 floor overlooking the strip. Room was great as expected. I found every aspect of the property top notch.
The only negative comments are in regards to the number of young children all over Las Vegas. It seems the marketing of Las Vegas as a family destination has worked. I have never seen so many children under the age of ten in Las Vegas. Frankly, I just don't get it. The pools at the property are way too small for the number of guests. There are two pools. Each pool was cram packed with kids during the day. There were soccer balls flying around both pools. At the very least one of the pools should be designated for kids and one for adults. The young life guards on duty did nothing to regulate/police the activities in the pool, so I guess that management doesn't care if the adults have a poor experience. I love children, have raised two, but do not wish to share my pool time with them.
I would also, say that we found riding the Duece pretty inconvenient. Very full and slow. I still prefer the Monorail but it is getting to be quite expensive.
Overall had another great time!
