I stayed at the Blue Moon for almost a week, and when I arrived to my surprise they had upgraded me to a two room suite overlooking the pool at no extra charge. The room was absolutely stunning with large sitting room, king bed ,dual flat screens, wireless intenet, a huge bath and much more. During that time there were many planned pool activities, BBQ's, live DJ's, full bar around the pool and you could charge everything to your room. They had even added room service and had it delivered to the pool. My stay was nothing short of amazing. John the owner was around to make sure that each guest was happy and the staff was very attentive. Rooms were immaculate and elegant. Every amenity in the room was thought through from flat screen TV's to toothpaste and razors. The only thing that ran short was come coffee at breakfast one morning, and that was tended to quickly. It was a quick 5 minute drive to the strip, and a nice hideaway from the craziness of the large hotels.
Enjoy boys...enjoy! You will LOVE it.

I recently stayed at the Blue Moon and must say it was just ok. It certainly lacks some amenities that I'm used to when traveling. A safe in the room would be nice. While the room is beautifully decorated it is quite small and claustophobic.

Also, the resort is in a horrible location. If you like being in an industrial area, this place is for you. There's no restaurants nearby and it's not safe to be walking at night. You'll definitely need to rent a car if you want to see the strip. Cabs take forever to get to the resort.

Don't think I'll be staying there again. For the price I paid I could have had a larger room in a much better location

Positives far outweighed negatives for me & my friends on our first stay at Blue Moon on a recent weekend. Desk staff was friendly & helpful. Housekeeping staff was even pleasant! We also found fellow guests to be friendly.
Room was clean and bed comfortable. Product samples in bathroom beyond the usual soap/shampoo/ lotion was nice touch. Decor throughout is nice. The owner (who seemed ever present and was very helpful & nice) told me he's put a lot of money into the place (and continues to), and it shows!
The pool area is a bit tight but nice. The Sunday afternoon pool event (dj, food, booze) brought out some nice eye candy.
In case you have a preference, note that the first floor rooms have tile floors like the hallways and the upstairs rooms are carpeted.
It was cheaper on their website to book our 2 rooms one at a time than both at once. Just be sure at checkin to point out you have 2 separate bookings. We drove in from out of town and it was a little tricky finding the place and also manueving the nearby streets. These negatives, however, won't keep us from returning!

I booked this resort through the web site and it seemed a very nice resort, even though it is off the strip, and expensive when compared to other hotels on and off the strip. However I do like to support gay resorts where possible.

I contacted the resort before booking they informed me that they had a driver that worked for tips that could take guests to the strip etc. or alternatively a taxi was around $8 (the resort is near the Artisan Hotel, which is the best way to get give directions).

When I arrived in Las Vegas finding the resort was a problem. None of the shuttle companies go to the resort, so the only option you have is to take a taxi - however most taxi drivers have no idea where the resort is so be prepared to give them directions. However the resort is visible from the freeway as you come into Vegas.

Starting with the good points -

Initial impressions of the resort are good. Check in was easy and I got a warm welcome. However when I enquired about the driver and getting to the strip I was informed that they were "in between drivers". So only option was a taxi. Walking is an option but probably easier to get a cab. Although some reviews have suggested that the resort is in a bad area, I would disagree - it is in an commercial/industrial zone. I didn't see any hobos or other signs of problems.

The rooms are of a central corridor and are large in size, and very clean and well furbished - although you can't really keep your curtains open as there are plain windows behind, and I didn't like the living in permanent darkness. Rooms come with a fridge and have two televisions - one in the sitting room and one in the bed room. There is a resort information channel, as well as the usual TV channels and adult content. Free wi-fi is included and the resort provides terminals in the resort for those without laptop computers.

All rooms have large (and noisy) air conditioners. However they work, but I wouldn't want them on overnight - but that may just be me!

One bizarre point is that then beds have boxed sides, and although I am 6ft I had to "hop" up and off the beds which was a little odd. However the beds are comfortable and well kept.

The pool area is nice and gets plenty of sun. The pool is warm and free towels are available poolside.

So why the low star rating? -

I only lasted two nights at the resort out of a booking of 8 nights.

Despite the facilities the resort is next to two freeways and a railway line and I only managed 4 hours sleep the first night due to the noise of trucks and traffic coming along the freeway. I moved rooms the next day and managed 2 hours the next day. Whether this had been affected by jet lag I'm not sure - the previous couple of nights had been fine in LA.

I left the resort, and moved to a hotel on the strip. The owner took the room moves and my departure well (I suspect I wasn't the first guest to complain about the traffic noise - there are comments about the noise in other reviews), and refunded my outstanding monies.

If your coming to Vegas for a weekend then the Blue Moon may be for you (it seems to have a number of repeat customers) - especially if your okay with traffic noise, and have your own car.

However if your a light sleeper or want to spend time on the strip then may not be for you.

Also there are no dining facilities at the resort. I didn't try the breakfast provided as I was trying to hard to sleep! Lunch can be ordered in from local dinners, however there is a minimum tip of 18% and a delivery fee added, and the last order for any food is 2pm. If you want anything after that you need to go either to the strip or one of the off strip casinos.

However if I come back to Vegas I will stay on the strip and visit the Blue Moon on a day pass. Would I recommend the Blue Moon - perhaps but with warnings as to traffic noise and location.
