Review of Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the Las Vegas Strip 4*

We just spent a week here while I attended a conference. Pros: The hotel is quiet, even though it's on the strip. The one-bedroom suites are very nice and a good value, at least when purchased as a flight and hotel package. We enjoyed the whirlpool tub, the 2 TVs, the kitchen, the roomy bathroom. The staff are very friendly, polite, and helpful. Security is excellent. You need a room key to use the elevators, and in the evening you have to show your key to a guard before entering the hotel. There's a bus stop for southbound travel right in front of the hotel. For northbound travel, the stop is a few blocks away. There's a well-stocked CVS store just south of the hotel, which is very handy. Finally, we were never pressured to consider buying a timeshare. Cons: the Wi-Fi is sometimes balky, to the point of being useless. Other times it works fine. I suspect some people are streaming video and putting a strain on the network's capacity. If reliable Wi-Fi is a must for you, you might want to check with other hotels or bring a personal hostspot. The location on the north end of the strip between Circus Circus and the Stratosphere puts it in the middle of a number of partly-constructed buildings and vacant lots. The area looks a little seedy, but day or night we never had any problems. There isn't a wide choice of restaurants in the immediate area, so you may find yourself taking the bus down to the center of the strip to look for something to eat. Unlike some other strip hotels, it is not located next to the monorail. The verdict: I would stay here again. The great room and the staff outweigh the Wi-Fi problem.
