Vegas

I was just wondering if anyone here has used the World Passport Collection to vacation in Las Vegas. If so, which ones do you recommend? Thanks!

Here's a recent thread with a trip report by DVC member ncligs:

It contains quite a few details on the Polo Towers. You might also like to take a look at these:

If you don't have the time to read all(threads) of the above post by CarolMN, here is a brief overview of the Polo Towers. We were guests there of friends of ours(June 13-17),so we didn't have to use any points.

1. "Great location"(across the street from Monte Carlo, next to MGM)
2. No casinos or on-site restraunts in Polo Towers
3. Pool is on the 22nd floor.
4.Villa's(1-2 bedrooms) at Polo Towers are very compareable to DVC in quality.

We can't wait to go back to Vegas............but I probably wouldn't use points to stay there. A lot of Vegas hotels(Excaliber,Mirage,etc) have specials for $59-$89 a night, as long as there isn't a convention in town. Just go to LasVegas.com and check out the deals there.

I've never used points at Vegas... (And probabily never will for the reasons that ncligs mentioned... Vegas is just too darned cheap on hotel rates..)

My family got a great rate to stay at the Excalibur last year... While the room was nice, it was one of those times I wished I would have had a 1BR.. Keeping food and milk cold for my DS2 was pretty tough, and having a washer/dryer would have been nice.
