text: this place was perfect for my family we rented one bedroom suites side by sideneach suite opens to a small hallway and main door the doors to each suite easily stay open and feels safe because they are behind the main locked doornnthere were four men i am and my older brother met me and my year old son and his buddy there each of us having our own bathroom and bedroom was awesome we regularly hung out in the living room of each others space like it was a college dorm this setup also worked out perfectly when my wife came to join us after we had been there days with just all the guys we closed our suite door and maintained our privacynnthe full sized refrigerators and ranges as well as full kitchens were key to it being the perfect place for us even if we had additional people that needed to sleep on the couch there is plenty of wardrobe hanging and deep dresser like storagennthe dining room table was awesome as well since we needed someplace to sit after cooking hannthe wifi would be my only complaint it is expensive and only devices can be on at one time really lame almost inconceivable plus you have to constantly log in pain in the butt and full of gaul IMHO the reasons to use wifi are plenty on a vacation including uploading our photos for backup purposes and to share with fam and friends nnif the grandviews wifi policy was normal it would enhance the experience and people might write better reviews about the wifi nazisnnwe stayed in the daisy and got hip real quick to parking in the covered garage at the end the kiddie pool was right across from us the main pools are in building and is also where the very handy deli is located the pools are different though nnthe temperature of the upper pool is what you would expect when the temps are degrees mildly refreshing the lower pool with the waterfall will knock your socks off it might be degrees or even less it is the maximum refresher we were so chilly after sitting in the cooler water for a while that we actually got a chill and it was degrees outside nnwe never visited any other pools so i do not have any intel on their conditions oh yea the deli is a rare gem they have lots of things you might need in a pinch but you can also call down in advance they might have said they deliver but i cannot recallnnthe other great option is the south point casino right next door first it is totally within walking distance second there is a short cut just out the gate past the check in office cross the street and walk up the steps to the side door it may say emergency exit on it but the employees at the grandview said they go in and out that way all the timennthey have a burger and shake place that is great one of the restaurants serves breakfast which is inexpensive and tasty too the roulette tables have minimums not the mins like in the heart of the strip i think someone else mentioned the convenience of such a large casino in the close proximity of the grandview this could keep you down at the south end without ever hitting the mix of the strip or fremont street nnbut to us it was an ace in the pocket we used it in a pinch to buy lunch before heading out to drop my brother and sons friend at the airport cheap and easynni drove up from san diego so we could have easy transportation while there it was a genius move on my part turns out almost every casinohotel on the strip has free self parking it was a snap to get in and out mind you it is august and not the prime season and no huge events going on but i got us all around the city strip to and from the airport the I is minutes away and down to the fremont street experience and even to sapphire the gentlemans club by driving and using my iphone and the new google mapsnni would not say i am a technology connoisseur but an avid fan of making my life easier the new google maps let us you search just like you would do when using googles main search engine but it immediately maps from where you are to that place and it does it with minimal screens and steps i also used a blutooth handsfree device from costco that sits on my sun visor since i did not have an actual navigator aka my wife i would just search for where we were going it pulls it up and then i would hit start route and off we would go even if we changed our minds mid trek i could do almost everything i needed to pretty quickly say illegally at a stop light or puling over and have the new route being spoken to the entire car in secondsnnsince LV is so hot we used the ac all the time this also allowed me to stream my pandora or slacker right to the blutooth and we could all jam the upside to this is that it would pause the music when google maps needed to speak a new instruction no turning down the music or missing the information it was sweet
