The staff was very nice and overall the resort looks good; however, the kitchen and laundry appliances in our unit were horrible. The electric stove was ancient and the connections in the burners sparked when used. The refrigerator's ice maker did not work. (The staff was nice enough to bring a bag of ice when I called to complain).

The dishwasher was not only old/older than the stove, it was loud enough to drown out conversation in the kitchen. The disposal unit was so loud, you could hear it outside and the entire kitchen shook when it was used. The countertops were slightly warped from water.

The laundry washer and dryer were loud enough that you could not talk in the area and needed to turn the TV up considerably even with the door closed. The dryer exhaust obviously needed cleaning because the laundry took 2 cycles to dry on the highest setting every time.

This is not what I expect when taking my family on a vacation. The staff was very nice, but the resort was not close to the rating given. Find other options.

Desert Paradise is just outside the hubbub of downtown Las Vegas. For me and my family that was nice. The resort was clean and had everything for our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful.

This is second time we have stayed here, very nice. We alway rent a car so it doesnt bother us that it isnt on the strip. Staff is always helpful and they have a computer room for use so you can check email and print return tickets for free. They have a free paper each morning in the lobby. Very nice place.

Desert Paradise is a timeshare property owned and operated by Diamond Resorts International. This means you will be able to choose from Studios, 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom condos, which come fully furnished and with a fully equipped kitchen including stove, fridge, coffee-maker etc.
I booked a 2-bedroom condo for me and my friends and we loved it. The rooms were well maintained and spotlessly clean. The unit came with pool towels prepared and had an extra room with a washing machine and a drier - how convenient! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is gated and to enter at night you need a pin code which changes regularly which made us feel safe, even though the neighbourhood didn't look too bad anyways. The resort also offers two pool areas. One for kids including a waterfall and one for adults with a bbq-area. The building housing the lobby also offers a concergie service, a gaming room (with a pool table, a DVD collection and a card table) and a courtesy area where you can get snacks from vending machines and free coffee and tea all day.
The only downside is the distance from Las Vegas Boulevard, which wasn't a problem for us, since we were focusing more on relaxation than gambling. We will definitely come back!
