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; the 1 Bedroom Deluxe and larger suites step up to full kitchens (the standard one-bedroom keeps a partial kitchen), 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 the resort's complimentary hourly shuttle to Treasure Island, a short drive or a 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 kitchen (partial in the standard one-bedroom, full in the Deluxe) 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. The resort runs a complimentary hourly shuttle to Treasure Island (check departure times with Guest Services); otherwise it 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.
