Hotel's Favorite
We stayed in a huge clean apartment with two large bedrooms and two full size bathrooms. The entire place was clean and spacious! Three large screen tvs! There was a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room and full size washer and dryers. There was no noise at night and the cooling system was efficient. The grounds were so beautiful with flowers and plants that I took many pictures. The area is nice and safe and an easy drive to everywhere including eateries and convenience stores and gas stations. Casinos were just down the the road and the strip was close. They have a free shuttle to the strip. The pool area was beautiful clean and refreshing with relaxing spas. Great parking some covered! My grade A+

When we walked in our suite the first time I was blown away at how huge this place was!!! The front desk was extremely friendly and the pools and hot tubs were great. They had an adults only pool and hot tub so you could soak without those splashing kids around.
The shower had enough water pressure to change my skin color from black to white. It was amazing! Also the shower tub is very spacious. I could fit a whole carnival in there!
We got back from our night of decadence (Saw a wholesome comedy show), so tired and we had checkout at 10 the next day, and I called the front desk to see if we could do late check out. They were amazing that they said, "At no extra charge we'll extend your stay to 11:30am" Wow! Also they provide dishes and silverware. I used a fork and they said I didnt have to wash it! Wow! In all honesty nicest place I ever stayed in in Vegas. I definitely will be checking if they have deals next time I come through!

We typically prefer a self contained unit and this resort ticked all the boxes. It was clean, comfortable with a king size bed, air-conditioning/heating, washing machine and dryer, a full kitchen, walk in wardrobe, a secure safe for valuables and a car park right out the front the door. It was very quiet as it is also residential resort. It was 10 minutes to the strip by car and there are supermarkets and shops nearby. The resort has a free shuttle bus to and from the strip at set times. There were two downsides - wifi and the hard sell to sign us to Time Share. The wifi was intermittent – a very weak signal making internet access difficult and at times spasmodic. The resort staff could not help much and referred us to a help line number. And beware of the super friendly concierge staff who try and sign you up for a Diamonds Resort presentation. We took the presentation and it was an exceptionally hard sell. We declined their offer and then a second sales person tried to sign us up – it left a bad taste! But they did give us a US$100 voucher for our time.

We booked on line we thought we were paid up till we got charged another 150 deposit and a 300 dollar resort fee so bring more money for the strip because this place charges 250 to clean your room once your gone. This is after I paid 4,000 for 3 weeks, and the heater stopped working so a alarm was going off we called the office and they sent there maintenance man over to unplug the box so the alarm would shut off but we had no heat or ac for 4 days. So they gave us a room swap at 4:00 am in the morning and charged me another 250 for a mess. There's more but I'm embarrassed to even talk about it. I wouldn't stay here vegas burnt down and it was the last place to stay.

Second stay at this condo, and was not disappointed again. We love the full kitchen to have some meals in. There is a huge grocery store ( smiths) about 11/2 miles away. They also provide free coffee
and tea in the room and in the lobby. There is also salt/pepper paper towel and dish soap in the room. We had a 2 bed 2 BR suite, app 900 sq ft with a balcony. Living area and bedrooms each had a tv, and each bedroom had a small walk in closet, one with a safe. The suites are a little worn in a couple places if you really look but it was very clean. For the price point and this being 3 stars I dont want to put it down for minor things. One of the reasons we chose this place was the heated pool. It was a perfect temperature to go for a swim and the hot tub was nice as well. Unfortunately the adult pool was closed, but it wasnt to busy most of the time.
I had one minor issue, so I sent an email off to the resort. It was answered within a half hour and dealt with. Thank you Kendra. That is great customer service. The front desk staff are also excellent, very helpful and friendly.
We utilized there free shuttle to the strip which was also very nice, saving us a cab.
I will stay here again and would recommend to family and friends. I actually have some friends that are going to book in March!

The Desert Paradise is a hidden gem for those who want to experience Las Vegas without the hustle and bustle of the strip. Located about two miles west of the strip, the Desert Paradise is quiet and accommodating. The two sets of pools and spas, one for families and one for adults only, are both easily accessed. Each accommodation is a full apartment with kitchen, washer and dryer included. It is well maintained. The shuttle service will get you to and from the strip and allows you to avoid the hefty parking fees. We really like it. You will too.

We have stayed at this resort several times and have been very happy with our accomodations. The units are very large, very clean, have a washer & dryer, a patio, and a spacious, well equipped kitchen. It is also convenient for be able to park right outside your unit under the car port.
If you are staying on the bottom floor, you may hear people walking above you but other than that, you cannot hear other guests in the units on either side of you. It is very quiet. For us, this is a VERY important feature as we have stayed in other resorts where you could hear all conversations in the next unit.
I cannot comment on the pool as we did not use it although other guests seemed to be enjoying it. The exercise facilities are equipped with modern, up-to-date machines. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Las Vegas that is clean, comfortable, QUIET, and just 3 miles from the strip, I highly recommend Desert Paradise Resort!

Really nice place awesome rooms big pool hot tub. Room was amazing an freaking huge!!! Room even had a dish washer. They cleaned the room every 2-3 days. Now here’s the down side to it. Pool an grills close at 10pm witch sucks because I after walking the strip all night a good soaking an a steak would have been killer. Next We went to get some tickets to the shows on the strip, we got a few killer deals!! But the catch was you had to go to a “tour” of the hotel. We though ok no big asked how long that would take an they said an hour possibly less all they wanna do is tell us about them an show us around the place. Boy was that a lie. Two hours in they are hounding us to buy a timeshare an keep telling us that it’s NOT a timeshare. The guy that was trying to sell this to us started getting mad because I was calling it timeshare lite. After I told them we was not interested in a timeshare the concierge‘s did not want to give us any deals on any of the shows an told us to go to the ticket booths on the strip. I was very disappointed in this.

Giving this one star because of the stupid 'resort fee'. Basically their advertised rates are a lie so they can trick you into booking, and then they hit you with $30/day after that. Then for that price they don't even clean the room daily 'because of covid', which in 2023 sounds pretty sketchy. Just leaves a bad experience that they don't have the integrity to advertise their actual rate, and then lie to you about daily cleaning as well.
It's also a timeshare so they'll try to also trick you into attending one of their presentations, but based on the integrity level shown from just a short stay I wouldn't expect to find much honesty in their timeshare offering either.

Pick ups are 15 minutes past the hour at the same locations if you need a return shuttle. Shuttle service is subject to change so please visit the concierge after you check in for the current schedule.
Not that I am aware of - you have to pay for the shuttle - I think that Uber is cheaper
Please call them at (702) 579-3600 and they can probably work out something with you.
The ROH usually books which ever room that is currently available. At minimum, it will have a king bed in a separate room, full living room with a sleeper sofa (queen size), full kitchen, and dining room along with a patio. - MP
