Is Club Wyndham Desert Blue Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Club Wyndham Desert Blue is an 18-story, 281-suite timeshare tower at 3200 West Twain Avenue, just west of Interstate 15 and directly next door to the Rio, about a mile from the center Strip. It is built for Wyndham points owners — several floors even operate as Margaritaville Vacation Club, added in February 2020 — but unbooked units are rented nightly through Expedia and other agencies, so anyone can stay here like at a hotel. The pitch is simple: apartment-style space and kitchens at budget-hotel prices, with no casino attached.

Every unit has at least a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave and sink; one-bedroom and larger suites step up to full kitchens, and the one-to-four-bedroom Presidential suites add a stove, dishwasher, in-suite washer and dryer and a fireplace, with the largest layouts sleeping up to 12. Outside are two pools, two hot tubs, a children's splash pad, shaded cabanas and a fire pit, with the Splash Pool Bar pouring cocktails and serving light fare. A game room, fitness center, business center and a small convenience store round out the building; Wi-Fi, self-parking and valet are all free, and there is no resort fee.

The trade-off is location and thin services. Desert Blue sits on the wrong side of the freeway for walking, so every Strip outing means a short drive or rideshare, and beyond the pool bar there is no restaurant, room service or entertainment — the nearest casino floor is the Rio next door. Housekeeping follows the timeshare model as well: daily service costs extra rather than being included. For families and groups who want bedrooms, a kitchen and free parking at rates that start around $68 on quiet weeknights, it is one of the stronger value plays off the Strip; travelers who want to walk out of the lobby into the action should stay east of I-15.

Insider tipWatch the clock on departure day: check-out is 10 a.m. — earlier than the Strip's usual 11 a.m. — while check-in isn't until 4 p.m., so your usable window is tighter than at a casino hotel. If you're flying out late, keep the car (self-parking and valet are both free) and plan a last Strip outing around a mid-morning checkout rather than a lazy late one.

Rooms

Studio Suite, 1 King

Open-plan studio with one king bed and a sleeper sofa (some studio layouts swap in two full beds), cable TV and a DVD player. The kitchenette — refrigerator, microwave and sink — handles breakfast and leftovers rather than full cooking.

One-Bedroom Suite

Separate king bedroom plus a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, so four can sleep without sharing one space. A full kitchen and dining area make it practical for stays longer than a weekend; the living area has cable TV with a DVD player.

Presidential Suite

Sold in one- to four-bedroom layouts with king beds; the largest sleeps up to 12. These get the extras the smaller units lack: a full kitchen with stove and dishwasher, an in-suite washer and dryer, a fireplace, and Strip views from the tower.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get to the Strip from Club Wyndham Desert Blue?

It sits about a mile west of the center Strip but on the far side of I-15 next to the Rio, so there is no pedestrian bridge or tram — every outing is a 5–10 minute drive or rideshare to Caesars Palace, Bellagio and the rest. Free self-parking is the reason to bring a car; walking across the freeway is technically possible but long and brutal in summer heat.

Can you stay at Club Wyndham Desert Blue without owning a timeshare?

Yes. It is a Club Wyndham points property (several floors run as Margaritaville Vacation Club), but any suites owners have not booked are released nightly through Expedia and other agencies. Non-owners get the same suites, pools and free parking — the only thing you miss is the owner points rate.

What does a night really cost after fees and parking?

Close to the sticker price. There is no resort fee, Wi-Fi is free, and — unusual for Las Vegas — both self-parking and valet are free, so nothing gets tacked on at checkout beyond tax. Rooms start around $68 on quiet weeknights; just note a credit card is required at check-in to cover incidentals.

Is daily housekeeping included at Club Wyndham Desert Blue?

Not automatically. It follows the timeshare model, so daily housekeeping is a paid add-on rather than a standard hotel service. Plan to tidy the suite yourself on a short stay, or arrange (and budget for) service through the 24-hour front desk if you want it.

Which suite is best for a family or group?

For four people a Studio or One-Bedroom Suite is plenty, but larger groups want a Presidential Suite — sold in one- to four-bedroom layouts that sleep up to 12, and the only units with an in-suite washer and dryer, a fireplace and actual Strip views from the tower. The studios and one-bedrooms trade that view for a lower rate.
