We stayed at Westgate on an exchange time share week. Although the resort is 25 yrs old it is very well maintained. Our 2 bdrm unit was very clean and comfortable - the bedrooms being located at opposite sides of the unit provided privacy and quiet for all. It is located about 2 miles from the central part of "the strip" and an easy drive right down Flamingo Rd. (the resort offers hourly shuttle service, but we had our own car and didn't use it) and free parking is available at all casino/hotels. It was nice to be away from all the hub bub of the strip. The staff at Westgate were very accomodating - responding quickly to any of our needs (like extra towels and the maintenance crew taking apart the bedroom sink to retrieve my gold earring which I accidently dropped down the drain). They offer a lot of activities on premises and the pool area was very nice.

My stay here was fantastic! It offers peace and tranquility with a feeling of safety. I love this gated community. On my first morning, I was able to take a FREE shuttle to Walmart...how nice. The shuttles they offer are great and the drivers are very prompt and dependable. Because I am a good planner, I was able to hit the strip some days 2-3 times. There is really no need to rent a car if you stay here. The entire Front Desk staff are some of the most professional people I have dealt with. I give kudos to the younger staff, they were all effecient, courteous and attentive. Nice grounds and very spacious condos! I had a great birthday week here and met friendly people from all over the US.

I booked a week to the Wastgate Flamingo Bay thru Interval International as an exchange for the week we own in the Marriott Vacation Club. I found bedbugs in the bed the first night and promptly checked out the next day. Needlass to say , I had a terrible experience.

I stayed here with my husband and his parents. We were traveling for business/fun to the CONEXPO (Construction Expo).

We basically stayed here because my in-laws have a Westgate timeshare in FL, so they traded their week for Las Vegas, and I ended up being pleasantly surprised, especially after reading some of the reviews.

The entry is gated with a guard posted at the gate, which I liked. We stayed in a 1st floor condo which had two bedrooms, living room, dining area, 2 bathrooms, and a full kitchen & washer/dryer. The furnishings were nice and everything was clean. A bit of mildew in the shower- but that's the be expected...it IS a shower, and it's often wet.

As we were staying w/ my in-laws, it was convenient to have the bedrooms located on either side of the common living area, and not w/ abutting walls.

We did not use the kitchen, execpt to make morning coffee. We ate out at restaurants mostly. We did have the complimentary "owners breakfast", which was fine for a light bagel, OJ & cereal. VERY crowded breakfast!

We didn't use the pool, and we rented our own car, so I can't comment on the pool or transportation offered. The pool looked nice, but small.

I had been worried about the reviews that said the walls were "paper thin" but it wasn't a big deal. We could hear some footsteps, but no more.

We LOVED staying "off the strip." Previously, we had always stayed directly on the stip in a large hotel/casino, but this time around we all liked coming back to a quiet smoke free location.

Also, there were staff always cleaning outside, which was nice, becuase there were many guests who thought it was OK to throw cigarette butts anywhere...
