Booked exchange through RCI
The room had cheap furniture and was not clean we stayed in a smoking room and couldn't beleive the smell.

We during our stay never found a parking spot near our 12 story building had to walk about 1000 feet from parking at night with a room key that wouldn't allow us to cut through the pool thus the walk was quite a bit longer.

Speaking of keys we went to the front desk 3 times to get keys to the gated pool and finally gave up, one morning after a late show the key did not work on the room.

We were awakened to the sound of now 16 floor buildings going up before 8 am every day.

The customer service sucked, they just pushed you out of the way so they could have the space for timeshare tours that they took in and out of our building 4 (lily) all day.

Once at the pool (2 small pools for hundreds of units currently 9 buildings with 12 floors each) you can be stared at by thousands of timeshare tourers.

I never complain and this is my first reveiw stayed at many timeshares never this bad.

When we arrived there they sent us to the "VIP" check in. I believe they thought we were suckers. That is where they tried to make us sign up for a 3 hour ordeal to sell us more time shares in this hotel and in the end they'll give us discounted tickets to local shows.

After telling us all this we find out that there was a mix up in our reservations. They put us in their waiting room so they could fix it.
I ended up falling asleep in there because we waited so long.
Turns out that they forgot about us. We had to find someone to remind them that they left us in the freezing waiting room.
Finally they gave us our room key, but only one of our rooms was ready for check in.

At first glance the rooms are nice, but the closer you look things get ugly.

The shower was disgusting. There was mildew all over the bottom, on the tiles and shower door. The shower head was tiny and the water pressure was way too low. Mind you they give you a shower large enough to fit 3 people in it.

Our bed was absolutely disgusting. I couldn't believe it. There was hair all over one of the blankets. I didn't discover this until about 2 days before our check out. I know for a fact that they weren't my hairs and we certainly didn't have anyone else in the room.

I LOVED the lights shining so brightly in our room all through the night. The blinds did a terrible job of blocking out light in the bedroom, but in the living room they had heavy curtains that made it dark constantly.

The parking! You would think with all the rooms that they had there that they would provide at least one spot per room. It was horrible. 12 am and parking on the streets. The parking was the worst part of our stay.

We got this timeshare on our honeymoon in Vegas in '04. We didn't get a chance to stay there until 2007. It was a bit of a hassle actually booking our room, but we finally got it on a date sometime around our aniversary. We had to bring our son, but fortunately my mom came along to watch him, so my hubby and i could have some time alone. My first impression of the room was that it was better than i remembered it from '04. I was very impressed. but as the week went on i started noticing little things, like the wear on the furniture and the scuff marks on the bed spread. Also, when we ran the jacuzzi tub some gook came out of the jets. Still I tried to make the most of it. What I really wasn't feeling was some of the noise. The first night we got there the radio in the room next door just came on full blast in the middle of the night. it took a good hour to get someone from the staff to come up and go in the empty room to turn it off. turns out some jackcrack had set the radio alarm to go off with the volume full blast. what jerks. then off course there were the folks above us, who seemed to be moving furniture everynight between 11pm and 2 am. that even annoyed my hubby, who is usually pretty laid back. and of course there was the not really, but pretty much manditory meeting they had you go to so they could try to upsale to the owners. we were there for most of a whole day and, even though we did end up upgrading, it was mostly a waste of time to me. all in all the "resort" was pretty decent. i mean there's no way you could stay in an equivalent hotel in vegas for that amount for 4 people for a week. plus i liked that the south point casino is right across the street, so a couple nights we didn't even have to drive all the way down vegas blvd to the strip, we just walked across the street. also the restaraunt across the stree was really good and they give a 20% discount for those staying at the grandview. so all in all it was worth it.

My husband and I stayed at the Grandview for a week, Friday to Friday using an exchange week through RCI. I read with interest all previous reviews, keeping in mind complaints such as noise from construction, whirlpool tubs, scraping of chairs, noisy neighbours, lack of parking at various bldg. and pushy time share agents. We booked into the Iris Bldg, adjacent to the main registration bldg. Highly recommended. Units recently renovated, steps from Casino opposite and lots of parking (never had a problem finding space). Ask for unit overlooking the front as construction is at the back of the bldg. We did hear the occasional scraping of chairs, but floor is tiled and some noise can't be helped. People around us were very considerate re the whirlpool tub - Grandview has rules re usage (8 a.m. - 10 p.m only). Had no problem with time share agents. Just told them we were not interested and they left us alone.

Overall: Definitely recommend renting a car for your stay. We never used bus service (we rented a car) but heard it was inconvenient and costly if you have a family. Really liked the location off The Strip, but only steps away from a really great Casino, South Pointe. We ate in two of the Casino restaurants (Garden Buffet and The Coronado) - both excellent value for money. Suggest you check them out. If you have a car, grocery shopping is only minutes from the Grandview. There is a Food 4 Less en-route from the airport and an Albertsons and Walmart close by.

Facilities: Our one-bed unit was excellent. Very large with separate bedroom. Huge bathroom and shower - definitely built for wheelchair access. Kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with dish washing/dishwasher/laundry supplies. Tip: bring a universal sink plug (dollar store) as there is no plug in the bathroom sink. Pool at our bldg. was closed due to on-going, construction, but main pool was open with loads of sun loungers available. There are 2 pools - 1 used by children, the other by adults. There is also a small work-out room, quite adequate for a short stay (we did not use it).

On-site grocery/cafe: There is a small grocery/cafe by main pool. They make salads/other small meals for take out at reasonable prices.
