KOA Las Vegas is located in a huge car park behind Circus Circus. This means it is exactly the point where the Old Vegas meets the new Vegas and either of these start with a walk through the Circus Circus casino floor.
The park has huge RV spaces with everything you need - even free internet access for those with or without a computer, really lovely friendly staff who actully seem to get a buzz out of saving you money (Dee Dee is a real hotwire) and some great details like, not just a dedicated dog walking area, not even just a sand covered dedicated doggy assault course, but in fact, two of them so small dogs can exercise away from bigger dogs.
As I type this i'm in the RV and it's actually cold here in vegas, the wind does seem to whistle through the KOA park and it is well sheltered by the huge buildings around it but at night, at day and in the rush hours, the park is quiet, really very quiet. Only the noise of RV's arriving and the helicopters pierce the silence.
Despite the cold, the pool is a pleasant 100 degrees and certaily warmer than the air around it, there is a spa pool, 2 sauna's a laundry and clean toilets. The shop guys are brilliant and it IS cheaper than the outside shops so al in all - great value.
Obvioulsly this is not going to be a pleasantly green and bushy campsite and one imagines that it's not on the cheapest real estate in Nevada but to my way of thinking, the value is about right and the staff here make it.
Other tips for the Brits... make sure you bring some older 5 dollar bills with you, all the machines here dish out new ones and you can't buy the daily bus pass with them, there is a stop right outside Circus Circus, either way and $5 for a 24 hour bus and monorail ticket is the best $5 in Vegas and the best value souvenir we have found is a silver $1 gaming token from the casino... no tax on it either!
Going on tomorrow, had enough of this city but would return here to KOA without hesitation.
