Polo Towers Reviews & Ratings

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: I have stayed there twice and you can't beat it as the best location on the strip of ANY timeshare.

2007 will bring complete renovation and redecoration of all the suites. Most units available for rent are at $100-150 per night for a 1 or 2 bedroom suite, in Vegas, on the strip!)

Also, MGM has broken ground across the street (after tearing down the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino) to develop what will be the largest Hotel/Casino/Condo development in the world with a price tag of $15-billion! It will have an international theme similar to the United Nations Towers in New York with a large circular plaza for international shopping and dining.

After the renovation and new MGM hotel complex across the street are completed, things for Polo Towers will only get better!

just returned from polo towers its in a great location and was great for getting to nearby hotels. housekeeping staff were great the room was clean did not like murphy bed in bedroom 2 no chairs to sit out in the balcony and the roof top pool was cold. there was no longer a bar there on the 18th floor

Although we've stayed at both the Polo Suites and the Villas over the past years, most of the Suites are greatly in need of updating. We were there this week, and the plumbing worked marginally; the furnishings are old, as are the appliances. [Unfortunately, while the Villas are newer, they have poor views when compared to the Suites.]

So unless you're guaranteed an updated unit, I'd consider looking elsewhere.

My husband stayed here during Nascar week. It worked out great and was better than staying in a hotel. It was a small room but had all the amenities.

Just spent the last week of Feb.'06 on 6th floor of Tower III. Air conditioning unit makes a lot of noise as it turns on /off during the night. Also, they empty the dumpsters every morning around 6am which is guaranteed to wake you up. Units are fine, cleaning and front desk services are excellent. Can't beat the location. Would certainly stay there again but request a different tower.

Spent president's week of 2006 here - staff very helpful, excellent location with all amenities. Plans in the works for makeover of the "suites" - they are fine as is for the moment, but WILL need the renovation in the near future to maintain high ratings. You would enjoy a stay here, just avoid the Marriott "marketers". Am going to consider purchasing a resale unit here.

Rented a 2bed/2ba unit for Xmas & NY's, check-in was quick & very pleasant, the unit was clean, nicely furnished, and everything worked in the kitchen. Location was excellent, NO COMPLAINTS on our part. Yes, we own in two-5 STAR RESORTS, and this was just as nice-carpet was a little worned...but who stays in the room much-when there is alot of excitement in Las Vegas????

Just returned from the Polo Towers 9/10/05. Very nice place, not 5 stars but maybe 3 1/2 or 4. The rooms were fine, nothing special but the location is prime. Only problem was the air conditioner shut down after 4 days and we had to change rooms. A big hassle and the front desk was not friendly and/or helpful. The second room was fine and the air worked well. One word of carution...CONSTRUCTION. Right in front on the strip and in the back on a new high rise. We were first in Tower I and the noise started around 1am and continued all night. We moved to Tower II and it was much quieter. Regardless, the place is nice and the price was fantastic. All in all, I would stary there again.

This is a great resort that is within walking distance to everything. We always have a fun time when we stay here.

great location, walking distance to all new casino hotels. Even walking distance to Game works, movie theater. Definitely beat driving on the Las VEgas Strip, which is a big hassle. Would definitely stay here again. Or you could pay $500/night for the Marriott located right behind this hotel.

Have stayed at this resort 3 times and aways found it to be great, best location, great view from the lounge and rooms nice size. I enjoy it so much I bought two units. Will be back out this May looking forward to another great trip. This is not a beach resort or family resort, keep this in mind and you won't be disapointed!

Have stayed here three times in relatives' condo-- sometimes with them, sometimes without. They own two weeks, one in oldest tower; one in newest. Both have two bedrooms, two baths. Old tower is a lockout and the small side is very small--murphy bed, full bath, partial kitchen with small fridge, microwave, coffeemaker. The other side is nice sized with large tv and full kitchen. The decor is older style and about ready for new furniture, and there is no washer/dryer in the unit--you have to go down the hall.

New tower is elegantly furnished, not spacious but quite adequate. As noted by someone else--you don't go to Vegas to sit in the room. Both condos beat the heck out of a hotel.

The top floor lounge has one of the best scenic views in Vegas, and they play Bingo there once a week--cards are a dollar, and free refreshments--nice prizes The first time we played, I won nearly all the prizes, so had a really great time.

The pool is on top of the building and is okay, but not heated. We went in Oct/Nov, so it was too cool for me.

The lounge is really nice and comfortable to sit and visit. The valet people are super, and some of the desk clerks--others are as stated somewhere else-snotty and not helpful.

The best thing is the location--on the strip, but set back so the noise doesn't get to you. We like the Alladin, and it is just down the street. We always drive out, so had a car to go out t the station casinos. However, there are taxis, the overhead el, streetcar/buses.

I much prefer Polo to staying in huge hotels where you walk miles to get to your room, then miles back to do anything.

Just returned from week stay at Polo Towers. Check in was a real hassel. Wanted to see room before we accepted it. Girl was a real snott, as she could not understand this. We looked at three rooms to get one that was acceptable. She made us wait, and store luggage, a real control thing on her part. We traded a 5 star resort for this place, and wanted a room kind of comparable. This did not happen. Carpets torn and spotted, ragged. Furnishings worn and spotted. Bathrooms was alittle dirty. Location was a plus. Lobby was real nice. Could not stay in tower 3 , new section was saved for buyers. Would rate this resort a 5. Would not stay here again. Would stay in a Nearby Hotel. MGM,New York NewYork, Mandalay Bay.

We've stayed at this resort several times and found it to live up to it's 5 star rating. The staff was attentative and the unit was spacious and clean. I like the ability to have two bathrooms!!

I can't understand the negative comments...some people are never satisfied I guess.

WE just spent a week at polo towers. I was very hesitant about staying here after reading the reviews. We were pleasantly surprised. The location is terrific, very accomodating staff, and easy taxi access. We had a great time and would go back again.

II rates this a 5 star which is very misleading!!!!!!!!!!! Overall, nothing could be further from the truth. Two of the three sections of this resort, towers 1 and 2, the rooms are absolutely auwful and would say its 2 or 3 stars. While clean, quality of furnishings and fixtures were motel6esque. The third tower was redone in 2000 is where the 5 star probably comes from. The main amenity of this resort is its location on the south central part of the strip, close to everything on the strip. The pool area is small and has none of the typical resort services. The 19th floor lounge has a nice view of the strip. Lobby is very nice. *********BE CAREFUL, IF YOU ARE TRADING FROM A FIVE STAR RESORT AND YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS LOCATION, MAKE SURE YOU TRADE INTO TOWER THREE OR YOU WILL BE VERY DISSAPPOINTED********** We got into tower three, but that was after my insistance and luck that they had available units.

We stayed at the Suites at Polo Towers during a convention, July 23-30. I was not impressed with the bland, out-dated decor. The kitchen was well stocked but did not have dish washing detergent for the sink; everything had to go in the dishwasher. Our sofa bed was lumpy and uncomfortable and the towels were extremely worn and rough. The housekeeping staff and bellmen were friendly and helpful. The front desk staff was okay but did not go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Location is wonderful but to get a cab is difficult.

A Marriott Timeshare is being built near the Towers and I would buy at that location.

Units need alot of maintenance. We rented 2, 2 bdm units and 1, 1 bdm for a family Christmas getaway. We were disappointed with the condition of the units and the poorly equipped kitchen. The noise level made it difficult to sleep. The staff is excellent and the only thing that made it a worthwhile vacation.

I have owned Polo towers for 8 years and I'm very pleased with.Units are great and well kept Completely outfitted etc I have used it personally at least four times and used it for exchanges with other top resorts.

We stayed at the Villas at Polo Towers, which is the newer section of Polo Towers. Mixed feelings about this resort. Location: Its location right on the Strip is exceptionally convenient--you are close to everything and all the major casinos. Unit/kitchen amenities: Beautifully decorated--one of the best we've seen. However, the unit size (in our case 2 BR/2 BA lockout) is exceedingly small--900 SF. There is no way we would have stayed in this resort with another adult couple--they would have felt too cramped in the lockout portion. Bed is a Murphy bed, that while cleverly done, takes up nearly the whole room when let down. Children would be fine. There is another Murphy in the living room, which would pose another big space problem if let down. Kitchen is nice, with all amenities expected, to include coffee filters (hooray!)and salt and pepper (hooray again)

There is only one couch in the living room--an odd kidney shaped deal that while attractive, would not seat more than three people comfortably. Other guests would be relegated to the dining table which seats four. Master bed is a king which was quite good.

BIG PROBLEM: temperature settings are pre- set at 72 degrees. Thanks to tip from others, we knew that one could request manual control. So we stuck to our guns when the front desk insisted they could do nothing, and lo and behold, the next day maintenance took care of it! I cannot stress enough that management doesn't like to do this, and they will give you the run-around--you must INSIST EMPHATICALLY!

Pool area was very small but clean. It is on the roof (22nd floor)and there is no escaping the sun except inside five stuffy cabanas which block any breeze, since they are closed on 3 sides. There was no drink service or cafe at the pool. Disappointing.

Staff service was spotty--maintenance was superb, front desk was understaffed. Valet car- park was excellent. There is also a very large outdoor self-parking area. Construction is ongoing, but the Villas portion was unaffected- -not so the Polo Towers section, third floor in particular. Once again, thanks to "insider" tip, we knew to ask for a unit away from the dumpsters, which they did indeed empty every morning at the crack of dawn. Pity the folks who had to listen to THAT every day!

The resort is literally BUSING people in to sell timeshares, and the groups clomping through the common areas were slightly annoying. However, if you listen to their spiel, they will give you tickets to either the Folies Bergere (classic showgirl review, and topless in spots) or the excellent "V" show at the Venetian which is a variety show with magic, acrobats, comedy, jugglers, etc.(no nudity but some risque humor that young children will not understand but your eenagers WILL!) (Tip: don't "upgrade" your seats when asked at the Venetian theatre. The "cheap seats" are perfectly fine, and offer an excellent view as it is a smallish theatre. Upgrading will cost you extra $$$) We had agreed to a presentation, but after being kept waiting for 15 minutes, we left. We were impressed when they called our room and gave us tickets anyway!

The resort is lacking many of the things that 5- star resorts normally have, but the location makes up for A LOT. Vegas is a little different, and let's face it, the attraction is the gambling, night-life and fabulous restaurants.

Polo Towers was great. Quiet, convenient and the staff were very helpful.

The locations is excellent...the view from the 19th floor bar is breathtaking. Especially when the fountain show is occurring at The Belagio. We ended up taking our rental car back, because there were so many shuttles and the location was close to many of the big name casinos.

It was also very quiet. We slept well, not hearing the sounds of the strip or our neighbors. The rooms were also spacious and set up well for our week long stay.

Staff was exceptional, except for the Concierge. Not very knowledgeable, or just not unable to utlilize their resources.
