"Judge to Hear Case on Legitimacy of Nev. Casino Caucus Sites" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-19 16:18:33

A federal judge set a hearing for Thursday to help determine the legitimacy of the use of Las Vegas casinos as sites for the Nevada Democratic caucuses just two days before delegates are selected in the increasingly heated contend between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N. Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.). Originally established to accept thousands of casino employees working Saturday to participate the hotel-based caucus precincts have change state enmeshed in legal and political controversy ahead of the first balloting in the nominating process that is expected to include a large percentage of Latinos. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 whose members cater the nine casinos hosting at-large caucuses began distributing fliers today accusing Clinton of not supporting their right to choose citing her "I don't know" reply to a local Nevada reporter asking if she opposed caucusing in the casino sites. Obama who won the culinary union's endorsement last week told workers Sunday that Clinton's supporters wanted to "change the rules" because the union "decided to support the outsider." Former president Bill Clinton stumping in Henderson. Nev. yesterday directly criticized the casino caucuses saying only culinary union workers would benefit. Why "alter a special rule only for these workers. For the rest of you other workers tough luck. I think the rules ought to be the same for everyone," he said. The casino sites were established by state Democrats in consultation with the presidential campaigns and national party officials in a bid to accommodate thousands of casino employees who will be on the job at noon local time Saturday when the caucuses mouth. Rather than balloting in the precinct place where they live shift workers within two-and-a-half miles of the "Strip" can attend at-large caucuses being held in ballrooms of many of the hotel casinos. Workers in almost every casino on the Strip are organized by the culinary union. The conform to brought by several individuals and the Nevada State Teachers Union alleges that the casino sites create a "preferred class of voters." Lawyers for the plaintiffs several of whom are backing Clinton for president have asked U. S. District adjudicate James C. Mahan to shut the sites because they would award a "disproportionate allocation of delegates" to participants who work in the casinos disadvantaging voters in the more than 1,700 other precincts. Of the more than 10,000 delegates who ordain be chosen to attend the state's presidential nominating convention more than 700 could be selected in the casino caucuses depending on the turnout the teachers' union suit alleges making those individual locations more valuable than entire counties in less populated regions of the state. "The party blatantly intends to treat one group of party members more favorably than others," the union's lawyers said in a brief.

""Silverton Hotel Casino RV Park" in Las Vegas, Nevada - was rated: 10" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-16 06:18:38

An acceptable park when going through to Las Vegas. Right off the freeway. Tight spaces with not much breathing space between neighbors. Pull through site barely fit our 39' motorhome towing a car behind. Nice store pretty friendly staff. Nice pool area but pool water was very dirty and it smelled in the area. Packed with people. Expensive rv park. Very loud surrounding area. There was a concert nearby that we could hear well into the late evening. Didn't have free wifi - had to pay for it. For the price paid that should be complimentary. Entrance was tight for an RV park of this size. We camped here in a Motorhome. This park is one of the better parks in Las Vegas. Streets are paved & wide. Sites are paved but not quite as level as they should be. The instant telephone was convenient. The park is well maintained. There are several permanent residents but they were mostly located on a couple of the outside rows. We camped here in a Motorhome. Instant phone lines real convenient. The long term residents are just fine even if their rigs are older. Security is excellent and constant. Spaces are very tight together though. Dog walk is to be avoided as the soil is never changed or limed and may harbor diseases. Working treadmills in office. Laundry is good value$$. Good economical choice for visiting LV We camped here in a camper. We didn't actually stay at this park. I am just offering an update based on a drive-thru in January. 2002. The park seemed to be heavily populated with some rather rough looking long termers giving it a rundown poorly tended appearance. If you are planning on staying here. I would recommend that you take a look before making reservations. We camped here in a camper. Excellent park right next to Arizona Charlies Casino and Hotel. Food in the Casino is great and cheap. Breakfast of Steak and Eggs for $2.49. Great place to stay to play in Vegas and not too expensive plus a phone line at each site. We camped here in a camper. I would recommend this place to anyone. The campgrounds are not on top of each other. The camp host walks around the area and makes sure nothing is getting out of hand. I felt safe as I was there by myself at the time. I have been coming here for the last 10 yrs and will continue to do so. We camped here in a Tent. Out of 417 advertised sites only 35 or so are kept open for overnighters. Huge place. Overnight sites arelarge mostly clean mostly level. Didn't use the bathrooms or clubhouse so can't comment. It does look like this RV park used to be something to crow about many moons ago. But it's heyday has passed and things are sliding slowly downhill. Still. I'd use it again for a day or two if I had to. We camped here in a camper. Ridiculous price for the value. Only 2 potties & showers per building always a wait for the shower. Toilets have an automatic plastic cover that was broke leaving an unsanitary used toilet seat cover. Showers had large clots of hair and mildew clearly not maintained. No security approached by streetwalkers & drug types when trying to find the entrance. Only positive was the friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. If you spring for the expensive site you get a little luxury. But if you don't you are just in a huge parking lot atmosphere. Although pets are allowed it is not a pet friendly place. Nowhere to really walk a pet. Access to the office when checking in is a real pain. I can not imagine us staying there again. We camped here in a Motorhome. Very poorly appointed grounds for a premium price. The staff was very friendly and amenable however there was little to no "perks" for being at a site on "The Strip". Upon asking why there was no cable tv available we were informed that Circus Circus wanted us in gambling so they wouldn't provide it. Circus Circus doesn't provide any type of shuttle service on the strip so you must have a tow vehicle or rent a car for the duration of your stay. There was a very nice "clubhouse" with a large screen tv and computer bank along with free wi-fi. As a whole if you don't intend on spending your time within Circus Circus gambling this is not the place for you! We camped here in a Motorhome. This was a great place to camp in Vegas with younger kids given its proximity to Circus/Circus. Many of the other reviews are correct in that it is basically a huge asphalt lot but not sure what more you would expect being on the strip in Vegas. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Facilities were clean. We will gladly return next year. We camped here in a Motorhome. This park is way way way over priced. We got a premium site so we would have a little grass and a tree. Not even an escort to the site. No discounts for meals or anything. No cable. A couple of local channels with HDTV and HDTV antenna. We did put up our satellite too. I'd go elsewhere next time. This is our first time camping in Las Vegas. Won't come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. This is less of a park and more parking lot. It really is just acres of asphalt. In the heat of the summer it is unbearable. There is minimal shade. But it is the closest access to the strip you can get in a RV. But for me. I'd rather stay in a more pleasant place off strip and shuttle in. We camped here in a Motorhome. The Circusland KOA is a huge black asphalt parking lot with hookup's and that's it! I made reservations 6 months in advance to ensure a great spot at least that's what I thought! It was about 112 degrees in Vegas every day we were there and camping on black asphalt only added to the heat!!! The pool was closed all 4 days we were there! I don't see this KOA staying open too much longer as there is a lot of demolition and new construction happening! We camped here in a Motorhome. An expensive place for a parking lot! We love the proximity to Circus Circus but next time we won't be staying here. We would be better off staying in a cheap hotel and walking to Circus Circus. Vegas was 110 degrees and so being outside in the pool wasn't even appealing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the campground except its price. We camped here in a Motorhome. We knew what to expect and were not surprised by anything. This was a stop over on our way to Zion. LV is HOT in the summer - everywhere. A/C in our RV was a blessing. Pool was great and the park has a "on demand" shuttle to take you to Circus Circus which was enough casino for us. Not a vacation spa but a clean and safe place to stay while in LV. We camped here in a Motorhome. Skip this one. It is located in a parking lot. It is very hot. Rude staff. Horrible for pets. You get hooked on the fact it's next to Circus Circus and on the strip. The fact is that if you don't have a car you have to walk 15 minutes in the heat to get to the cab stand then stand in line for 15 minutes in the heat for a cab. Our friends left after one day and moved to another park. I wished we had done the same. It was miserable. We will never return. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a parking lot with hookups. However it is clean and close to the "strip". They provide a shuttle service but we found it difficult to get one back into the campground later at night. TV reception was horrible and there is no cable. Since the purpose of the visit was to see the casinos we spent very little time there so it fitted out purposes very well. It is also very handy to I-15 but pay attention on how to access off Safari Avenue. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. This was our first trip to Vegas and we were unsure how this campground was going to be after reading some of the reviews. It is basically a very very large asphalt parking lot however there were some nicer sites and you get what you pay for!! We took a super site which was a lot more expensive but definitely was worth it. It had a stamped concrete pad decorative rocks a small tree and a beautiful patio set at it. The site was enormous and we had a ton of room all around us. So the upgraded site is definitely worth the money. Just be careful though because we booked our site several months in advance at the rate of $79. We found out that the going rate for walk-ins for the first four nights was $59 not $79. They finally did change the rate for 4 days to $59. We look at it this way at a hotel if you want a nicer room you have to pay for it and it's the same at this campground otherwise you are basically getting a parking space to park your "house". I do agree however that there are no trees anywhere to provide for shade. We made sure we carried our dogs across the pavement since it was so hot or we walked them early in the morning and late at night. We were there the week they hit records-it was 97 and 98 degrees in April- so some shade would have been nice. The staff were extremely pleasant and everything was well kept. The pool was closed while we were there because they were painting the area around it. We did notice that they cleaned the restrooms at inconvenient times and seemed to be in there a long time cleaning them almost as if to deter you from using them. It seemed odd to be cleaning them at 9 30 and 10 00 every morning since this is such a busy time especially in Vegas since the average morning wake up time is later because of the night life. Also there was ABSOLUTELY NO TV RECEPTION. We knew someone with a satellite that had a hard time getting any channels. My husband and I figured they probably scramble the reception so that there is no tv to watch making you gamble more. They don't want you in your rig-they want you in the casino. The location is ideal though because you are right on the strip. We had a vehicle with us which was great because you were near the casinos which all offer free parking! The campground was really quiet at night considering you are right on the strip but they are in the process of building a new hotel right along the one whole side of the campground so every morning we woke to tons of large machinery. We did notice that the sites along that side didn't seem to be used probably because of the construction at your doorstep!! All in all we really enjoyed it. Most of the reviews complain that it is just a parking lot. Yes that is what it is but sometimes the convenience of the location out ways everything else. It is located at the far end of the strip but it is in a very convenient location in terms of all the casinos. One word of advice though is to get exact directions on how to get into and out of the campground. The roads around the campground are very confusing and several times we just could not find the entrance!! Can you imagine being lost in Vegas and having to stay there forever???!!!

The roads around the campground are very confusing and several times we just could not find the entrance!! Can you imagine being lost in Vegas and having to stay there forever???!!!!!!!!!!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome. This is nothing more than an asphalt parking lot with back to back parking. The strip location is not worth staying in a parking lot. Other Las Vegas parks may offer transportation to strip consider those instead. Pool was overflowing with children office was hot. Extremely busy location. Our experience was so poor that I am now gun shy of all RV parks and will research parks to the death before making another reservation. Extremely disappointed. We camped here in a Motorhome. We stayed here in Dec 2006 and had our Mom's in the main hotel. We paid a higher rate to have a "premium space" which we requested - next to a dog-friendly grass area. We have stayed here a handful of times since Castaways closed and it's pretty good for being on the strip. It's a bit of a walk to the main casino but not too bad. You'll need to take a taxi to pretty much any other casino from here as it's location is pretty far up the strip. We plan to check other rv parks next trip to LV. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a huge park. I could not believe how large it was. You had to follow their instructions on pulling in or backing in so that each rig was facing the opposite way. This allowed people to put their awnings out. Otherwise there would not have been enough space. The pool was nice. We were able to take our toddler in there and swim. The restrooms looked new. The "shuttle" only runs from the campground to the Circus Circus casino which is not that far. It is a golf cart. But I was able to engage the cart driver on a moment's notice and she took me as close as she was allowed to go to the strip. It saved me a couple blocks when I was in a hurry. My husband stepped out of the camper and sprained his ankle coming down the step. The staff was very helpful and provided free ice. The overnight maintenance guy was just getting in and said to use the page button to reach him if I needed more ice even in the middle of the night. The campground hosts were friendly. I had to enlist their help as I had a hard time locating one of the dog-friendly grass islands in the dark. The location is great and I believe it's the only place you can RV-camp right on the strip. The prices are high but they accept the KOA discount card and promotional deals. That is how we only paid $56. Also if you reserve over the phone you get a better rate than if you walk in but they don't tell you that on the phone. There is an extra fee for registering when you pull in. All the people at the park were friendly and we felt safe. We camped here in a Motorhome. Downsides - all sites on asphalt only a few sites have shade and at an increased cost. The advertised shuttle which is sorely needed due to size of park doesn't run continuously. Positives - close to Las Vegas strip rental cars available through cg office very reasonable rv washing available. We encountered one couple in the office that were extremely helpful. Not all of the staff were as pleasant. They were most accomodating. We recommend management develop some sort of shading for the sites as awning use was impractical due to high winds. No picnic tables available. It has some negatives but we would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. We enjoyed our stay here. This campground and the Circus Circus casino is very child friendly. Our 10 year old enjoyed their big pool and their hot tub. Very nice selection of gift items at their store. We had a very good time at Circus Circus the largest arcade we had ever been in and the games were all reasonably priced and they were very generous with their prizes. The free circus acts were superb. We aren't much on gambling but we had a ball with with our daughter here. Actually we paid the extra $10 for a late checkout at the campground so we could go back to Circus Circus. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. Yes only park on the strip but cars flying through park at all hours. Security did not seem to care even when brought to their attention. All blacktop. Spaces really close together. Not very friendly employees maybe they just lost all there money at the casino! We camped here in a Motorhome. It used to be just a big asphalt parking lot. Still is in many respects but... There has been an attempt to make it less of a parking lot by putting in rock fields around the hookups. Helps a great deal. And on some of the lawn areas they are now designated pet areas with little bags you can use to dispose of your pets waste. My dog still likes the dog runs the best. Expensive but it is a KOA now. Rumor has it that it will be gone at the end of the year as Circus Circus is being torn down. We camped here in a Motorhome. Yes it's a big blacktop parking lot and the spots are close together but what do you expect from the back lot of a casino in the middle of the desert? We didn't want to mess with driving around LV (not the best traffic patterns in the world there!) so we went with convenience over beauty. The good: 1) there are a few oases of grass and nice big trees every row or so. Some are for people use only; the others are designated dog areas and have convenient dog bag dispensers mounted on posts.. greatly appreciated. 2) The bathrooms were clean and tidy with (apparently newly installed) revolving toilet seats covers that give you a fresh place to sit each time :~) 3) Extra credit points for a great lighted magnifying mirror in the ladies' room. 4) Pool looked inviting though we didn't have time to try it out. 5) Laundry was small but got the job done. 6) Well-lighted at night.. maybe a bit too much light.. and lots of security at all hours. 7) Big store selling mostly souvenirs and a few convenience items snack ice etc. 8) Personnel were professional if not overly friendly. The bad (or annoying): 1) While there are several large enclosed gravel areas where dogs can run loose they are basically only good to use early in the a m and at night.. with all the rock and no shade they are way too hot for day use. Though we understand the gravel some sort of overhang to block the sun could be provided making them more usable. And don't let your dogs walk on the asphalt in the afternoon or they will burn their paws! We had to carry or run them real fast from grassy spot to grassy spot when they needed to "go".. no way could we walk them during the day. 2) The dumpster was ALWAYS overflowing. Sheesh they make enough money there.. can't they afford an extra bin or three? 3) And they are picky about letting anyone in for repairs who is not on their "list". We limped in on a flat and the only person who had the right tires and equipment to change it was 1.5 hrs out of LV. We had to get the manager's OK for them to come in.. but when she called for herself to confirm that the approved repair houses could not help us out she did agree they could come in. So this one gets only a partial ding. Overall if you don't mind the parking lot ambiance and the heat this is a clean convenient professionally run campground. If our main reason to go to LV again was to gamble and wander the strip we'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome. If you're looking for standard RV park facilities this is not the place for you. As everyone else mentioned it's just a parking lot with hookups. That said. KOA has done a great job with how they handle things here. The staff was friendly and helpful and the store/office stays open untill 11pm. The pool/whirlpool is well maintained as are the shower buildings and laundry. We have a hybrid trailer and did not feel uncomfortable opening our vinyl bunk ends and leaving the trailer. It was really nice to be right on the strip. Cable TV would have been nice. We had trouble getting clear reception on local channels. We would stay there again if we go back to Vegas. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. Friendly staff. Campground is all pavement. Handy for Vegas strip & casinos. We had been to Circus Circus before & knew of the campground. We had no lofty ideas of our stay. But we went to spend time in Vegas & the MH was a place to sleep. It worked out ok. We camped here in a Motorhome. Stayed there a few days (Jan 31-Feb 2 2003) a large asphalt lot with a few trees. Stayed there cause it was close to the strip but found out it was not worth it. Staff could care less if you where there. Good security. Would suggest to stay there for a night as you pass though. Pay the same or a few dollars more for nicer area parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. This campground is basically a parking lot. The size of lots is okay. I didn't feel cramped. I was disappointed not to get wifi because we expressly asked for a site where we could get it. Checked with the office and a gentleman came out and said he couldn't understand why we didn't get it but the bottom line is we didn't. The staff is helpful and the park is pet friendly with two fenced areas for pets. One even had a ball to toss and a water bowl with water in it. I did not feel unsafe and the noise from nearby air force jets was not so much that it was disturbing to me. Overall. I'd say a good park but don't expect to get wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome. The only thing we had trouble with was the Wi-Fi. In our slot the internet was not available. We learned something on this visit to drive through with our laptop on and Wireless Assistant engaged to see if the computer can pick up a good signal. We now ask for the site so we can take the laptop right there and see if it works OK. Other than that this was a near-perfect 3 days to spend in Vegas. There were many long term residents people who lived there and worked somewhere in town. The only thing I have to add is that we weren't too far from a number of (at least 50) homeless people waiting for help in front of a shelter. They were living on the streets. Inside the campground you see nothing of this. The owner couldn't do enough for you. They give you a gate opener to get in and out. He was building a restaurant and if we ever visit Las Vegas again we will most certainly chose the "Hitchin' Post" and see how well he can cook! We camped here in a Travel Trailer. The staff at this park are extremely friendly and helpful. They are full of information. The park is clean but all the sites are gravel. They have a beautiful pool but no spa or exercise room. There is also no club-house. The bathrooms are some of the best I have ever seen and include full-size bathtubs. The major problem with this campground is the location. It is sitting right outside Nellis Air-Force Base Main Gate and during the day the fighter jet planes are deafening. It is impossible to hold a normal conversation on a phone due to the extreme noise. The other problem with location is this area of town is the worse section. They are less than 3-mile from the homeless tent-city and the streets are dark. There is major crime drugs and prostitution. The office keeps their door locked and everyone must be buzzed in. The campground has a security gate and very high fence surrounding the entire park. Each resident has a remote to open the security gate. There are tire spikes and bumper strips on the roadways. I think they are there mostly to encourage bad people from coming in and doing bad things and trying to get away in a hurry. If you are a biker and have a motorcycle this campground is super friendly to bikers. A good majority of the residents from what I could tell are mostly contract workers and stay for several months at a time or until their jobs are completed and they move on. Overall this campground is a super nice one with exceptionally good staff. It's just the location that is the down-side to staying here. We camped here in a Motorhome. Good Sam rate available. Very nice park with full timers and overnite spaces. Staff very courteous and very knowledgeable. Due to the crime rate in LV you have to be buzzed into the office and the park has high fencing (very secure). Refundable deposits for gate opener ($50) & pool. We stayed 2 days and got the gate opener. WiFi was free and excellent. Because we play World of Warcraft and use two computers they even gave us two passwords. They had no problem that we have 2 Harleys. Would stay there again. Saloon was being remodeled so not open at the time we were there. Our F450 and 40' toy-hauler negotiated the park quite well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Park management must be very worried about the area the park is in. They own the property on all sides of the park but still have office door locked you must be buzzed in after they see you remote control gate with $50 cash deposit for opener and spike strips in several places in roads. The worst thing in my opinion are bump strips throughout the park made out of 4" pipe covered by asphalt. In a medium duty truck pulling a 38.5' 5'er the strips will nearly break your neck even crawling over them. We were planning a longer stay but decided to leave after 2 days. We won't be back here. Never found the saloon either. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Park appeared to be in a less than desireable part of town but it was clean and secure. We stayed here 13 days and it had everything we needed. The occasional jet noise is the sound of freedom. Will stay again on our next visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. I was not too impressed with this park. It is old crowded full of permanent residents and (one of my pet peeves) had the water hookup within 12 inches of the sewer. It is in a very run-down part of town and didn't feel too safe. The front door to the office was locked and you had to ring a bell to get in. They did have an automatic gate but they required a $50 deposit on the gate opening remote. They also had a $25 deposit on each of the keys to the showers. Therefore we had $100 tied up in deposits just to stay in their park. My wife said that the showers and pool were nice. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Great park! Nicest restrooms I've seen at an RV park!!!! Very new clean and beautiful!!! They were working on the pet area so it wasn't the best but I'm sure when it's done it will be just as nice as the rest of the park! We plan to make it a regular stop on out trips north and south each year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Good choice for Las Vegas. Reasonable rate sites large enough for big rig and toad electronic gate to get in. Mostly monthly rentals; the only downside to that is folks like the bozo next door who thinks he needs to warm up his diesel pickup for 15 minutes at 5:00 AM. From 8:00 AM to dusk there is a lot of noise from military aircraft flying low overhead. Terrific laundry open 24 hours. Free WiFi but we couldn't connect to it. Seems to be mostly empty during the day. Two tiny "dog walk" enclosures. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. It's true. The bathrooms and the laundry are beautiful. Spotless aromatic climate controlled with gorgeous paneling counters and floors. The pool was also clean and appealing. The RV park has level gravel sites placed diagonally with plenty of room to get in and out for our 30 ft class A. Diagonal placement gives a less crowded feeling; spaces are large enough and we did not feel cramped even though the park was completely full. Cable. 50 amp power and sewer for a reasonable nightly rate. Many long term residents when we visited in late May but units looked well kept and tidy overall; some snow birds leaving late and others working on a new power plant we were told. We liked the north Las Vegas location of this park; it was quiet and comfortable and not difficult to drive downtown or to the Strip. The park worked great for us. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. This park is very quiet and seems to cater to adults although there is no stated policy. From Sept-April most spots are full. Reservations can only be made in person at the office and even that is confusing. We wanted to reserve a spot for October while we were there in April and were not able to do so. The showers/restrooms are fabulous. Aromatic cedar and redwood. Very clean. No paper towels or hand soap however. Security is good. Grounds are very clean. Front office staff is friendly. There is some fighter jet noise from nearby Nellis AFB. We camped here in a Motorhome. On the north end of town (away from the Strip.) It's 10 minutes from downtown and about 20 minutes to the Strip. Quite a few long term residents. Paved roads with gravel mostly pull through sites of average width. Each site seemed to have a tree. No stores within easy walking distance. The park is on a major bus line. Park is quiet well lit with a very good security system (remote controlled gated park.) This park had the cleanest and nicest restrooms I have ever seen at an RV park. Just beautiful (really). It is the only park that I preferred using their showers to using my own. The pool is very nice with translucent walls around it to keep out dust and provide some privacy. I would stay here again because I don't go down to the Strip much. We camped here in a Motorhome. This park is in a great location for seeing and doing things in the city. It's quiet and near the Galleria Shopping Mall and has easy access to the Boulder Highway. My lower rating is due to 3 things: 1) Our satellite TV wouldn't work. However others got theirs to work by switching over to Channel 4. Ours is locked at Channel 3 so the picture was full of static. The local TV station reception wasn't that good either. No cable. 2)The office wasn't always conveniently open. 3)We took a back-in space and we're kinda packed in like sardines. They are at an angle which means we all aren't looking into each other coaches but again it's very tight and basically asphalt parking. Utilitarian and practical. Good news: We got a phone line into the coach so getting onto the internet was nice and easy. This is a great place to be with a pet because right across the street are huge grassy soccer fields. We'd probably stay here again but also would probably look into staying at Sam's Town Nellis Park which was our first choice but was full due to NASCAR races. We camped here in a Motorhome. The sites are not too close and are offset. Everything is very clean and the instant phonewith no charge is wonderful. Fantastic and reasonably priced laundry room and 10 x 10 bathroom shower combinations. Unfortunately as it stands now this park will be closing in the spring. We camped here in a Motorhome. Sites VERY close together. No picnic tables or grass all concrete and asphalt. Could not get WIFI internet to work and park does not operate it so was of little help and charge is $4.95 by another off site company. Phone hookup on the other hand was free and at site. The nicest bathrooms we have ever encountered. Lots of permanent rigs here though. Planes are overhead frequently but no earth shattering noise. The brochure states that this is an "Adult RV Resort" and children are not allowed except for a brief visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. Seemed to be more of an adult park. We liked the quiet on this side of town. Really nicearea for dogs to go just outside of the gate. A perfect place to stay if you are going to a UNLV football game it's just outside of the stadium! Spots are a bit too close and they don't have any transportation into town if you don't have a tow. You have to take a city bus. There is massive construction in the area and the dust can be pretty bad at times but that is par for the course in all of Vegas these days. Would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome. Easy access. Good interior roads. Sites close together. Reasonably level. Friendly staff. Would have rated higher if cable was available. Do not like to get the dish out for an overnight stay. Antenna reception was good though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Very quiet park and less than 2 years old. Telephone hookup at each site with free localcalls and modem connect. Park also offers wi-fi wireless internet. Restrooms are extremely clean. Only down side is spaces are fairly close together. Stayed here in Jan 2004. Will come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. New park that is very well maintained. Nice pool area. Many pull-thrus with cement patios. Spaces are about 25 feet wide. If you have a dog this is a great park because there is city park right across street that lets you run your dog off leash! The Strip is about 20 minutes away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Excellent new park. It is not a family oriented park no playground. Children may stay for short periods. Very clean and quiet. Yet convenient to everything in and around Las Vegas. Beautiful clubhouse. Hot tub and pool. Road out front still being worked on. County soccer fields across the street. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a fairly new park. Apprx. 10 mi from the strip (20 min.) Very nice spa & club house. About 1.5 mi from I-515 but very quiet (No airport noise). Big grass field accross the street to walk your dog. Easy trip to Hoover dam. Has a camping world store within 5 mi. Enjoyed our stay. We will stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome. Giving this park a 10! Not very many parks that I would rate a 10. Have stayed at many of the parks in Las Vegas and this is best by far. This is a new park with a great staff and amenities. Not real close to the strip but one of the things I like about it. No noise like some of the parks south of town. Best take a look at their web site. Web site tells it all! Usally have some type of discount--so ask! One other thing a great club house with a computer on line for public use. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is an adult park. Must be 21+ and no children are allowed to stay. The staff are also residents on the camp-worker program and thus being campers themselves are extremely helpful and friendly. There is no shade in this park at the campsites. All the sites are paved and level. They have an excellent club-house with a heated pool and jacuzzi. Many of the residents are snowbirds or contract workers who often spend months here or until their contracts are completed. This campground is located in a outstanding area of town. It's cross street with Flamingo and Tropicana which take you right down to the middle of the strip. The main strip is about 3-miles away. The Sam's Town hotel/casino is just a block away. Super Wal-Mart. Costco. Sam's Club. Smart and Final and Trader Joe's are all close by. The main gate is manned 24/7 by a security guard. There is easy access to the 515 which will get you to all the other freeways and around town. This park has monthly pot-luck dinners in the club-house. The campground itself is built more like a parking-lot with little to none for landscaping but it's quiet friendly and has an excellent location. I am using a pull-through space and paying $620.00 per month + electricity. I highly recommend this park We camped here in a Motorhome. Nice park with friendly staff. Gate was manned 24/7. Has a pool and spa but had problems with the heater causing the pool to be closed several days. Sites were nice with palm trees and views of the mountains at some sites. We stayed a month at $686 plus electric which was $104. Vegas is not a cheap place to visit anymore and doubt we'll stay a month in Vegas again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Full hookups pull thru level asphalt sites no shade. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. They require a $10 key deposit for the bathrooms and refund on departure. Wifi was included with price worked great. Antenna tv got 5 channels. Nice swimming pool. We just stayed overnight semi-quiet but there's lots of folks coming and going due to the large number of sites. Security gate and patrol. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. This park is OK and the staff is very friendly. It has more of a trailer park atmosphere than an RV park. There are mostly permanents here. They do keep all rigs looking nice and no clutter around them. People under 21 are not allowed. It was 114 degrees while we were there and the palm trees although nice provided no shade. The sites are blacktop with gravel between so it was HOT. Our friends were coming in on the 4th the office was closed and the guard shack had no info on there arrival. When they did arrive they were placed in a site 3 rows away from us because their site near us was still occupied and no one could explain why. The site next to us was open the whole time we were there but they would not put our friends there. The roads are narrow and most sites are hard to get into for a 40 foot or bigger. Our friend’s 42 foot motorhome was guided into a water faucet by the park staff and suffered damage. The park did say their insurance would pay for repairs. A trash trucks came into the park every other day at 6 am and woke everyone up banging dumpsters around. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. We have been here for 5 nights so far and really like it. The park is clean well maintained showers are spotless staff has been very friendly. WiFi is free and has worked well. We have used pool and hot tub almost every night nice to relax in after walking the strip all day. The only thing that would have made it better is cable TV. There are many long term RV's and park models but all are well maintained. We would definitely return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. If you have pets -- GO ELSEWHERE. The pet restrictions here are insulting to responsible pet owners and totally lack understanding of dogs. The "pet areas" are extremely unsanitary and smelly. The management and permanent residents are unfriendly to dogs. The park is very nice except for its pet policy. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a clean well maintained facility with excellant 24 hr security. Sites are a little close together but provide plenty of room for slides etc. The park is not pet friendly,requiring the use of two small gravel and fenced areas. Although visually clean these areas had a definite odor. The pool was closed for maintance on two of the five days we stayed here. No shade. The asphalt sites are basically level. Easy access to park from major streets. We had a pleasant stay other than an issue with our incoming mail (part of which was not the park's fault). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Fairly large sites with paving and gravel between. Pull throughs are long enough for our 40' coach & toad. Nice office staff. There are many monthly/long term units but all look in good condition - no garbage laying about. Walking distance to Sam's Casino. Satellite dishes worked great. There is a security gate staffed fulltime. The interior roads are a little narrow but we got in with no problems. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is one of the last nice parks in Las Vegas to go camping in. With all the other parks closing down the remaining parks haven't really tried too hard to be accomodating. The managers here are very considerate and made our stay very enjoyable. We camped here in a Motorhome. We arrived minutes after the office closed and our reservation was not on security gate computer. The security supervisor was moderately rude but we were able to convince him our reservation was legitimate and we were provided the site we reserved (not level but paved). We were not provided the restroom key which we later had to pay a $5 (refundable) cash deposit for. Mostly permanent or long term residents but very clean quiet and security was 24 hr. No cable but satellite worked fine and staff in office VERY apologetic about reservation mix-up. One shower room was left very messy by thoughtless occupant in front of us but generally very well maintained nice and large individual rooms. 37' motorhome with toad. We camped here in a Motorhome. Clean well maintained well staffed mature park. Lots of long-term folks (park staff is drawn from long-term guests) plus plenty of pull-thrus for short-term. WiFi has excellent coverage (tengointernet) and was open and free during our stay. 24hour security at the gate also handles late arrivals. Warm pool and hot spa and usually cookies in the office. Good Vegas base. We camped here in a Motorhome. Stayed here one night while travelling thru. Very clean park though quite a few full time residents. Very quiet and good security. The office staff was friendly. Paid $4 for WiFi which did not work. Laundry rooms roomy and clean. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. The best place to stay in Las Vegas! We have stayed or looked at all the RV sites and this has our vote for the best overall. We will be staying again this November and December. Located on Nellis Blvd close to Sam's Town. The sites are well kept the dog poop station is disinfected twice a day the hosts are wonderful the rest rooms are immaculate the pool is great and the neighbors are wonderful. Security 24 hours a day wifi is with an outside source and is good. Off the strip and downtown by about 15 minutes close enough but far away enough to get away from it all. See you there in 2006 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Yes it is an asphalt camping lot. But it does have 50 amp power water and sewer in downtown Las Vegas for $18 a night. The Freemont street Experience is only 4 blocks away. There is some freeway noise but it is a constant so it masks itself. There is WI-FI if you are desperate for it $6.99 per hour. Our Verizon aircard worked extremely well so we didn't need their pricey wi-fi. This would have been a 10 but freeway noise pricey wi-fi and the dog run was quite a hike made me drop it to an 8. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Yes it is a parking lot but the spaces are adequately sized and level and the electricity and water easy accessed. Bathrooms and laundry are clean / reasonably priced. We could not find wireless internet so unless it's available only in "premium" sites. I would not count on it. There is highway noise but it is constant and so does not interfere with sleep. We saw security bicycling around and felt relatively safe here. The best things about this park are the price and the location. Less than half a mile to Fremont St Experience and the Downtown Station (bus terminal) to take you to the Strip for $2 per ride or $5 for the day. We had a little trouble getting here because of an accident and not knowing exactly where it is. It is North of the Main Street Station hotel (which is 200 N. Main) and on the opposite side of the street (right if you are going North). I don't believe there is a 14 day limit any longer and no one asked us about pets (though we don't have any). We would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. If you like the downtown Vegas area this park is right there. They have constant security checking the area so it is safe to stay in. We had two 40' DP's with slides and had to watch out for poles and each other when parking. We ended up with about 3 feet between us to sit and visit. Base rate was 16.00 and they charge a buck for each pet. The park is a parking lot but there is shade in the back but those sites only have 30amp. If you like the downtown area and don't need much space to walk around your rv this is ok. For the money it sure beats the Circus Circus KOA in my book. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a "resort" type park and as such has plenty going on and two great pools and spa very well stocked shop great breakfasts at the cafe and I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful indeed. The sites are level and have plenty of room sewer hookups could be better placed however. For this type of site I found the prices very reasonable free Wi-fi wouldn't go amiss though. One problem is that since the Strip Trolley went bust there's little transport to the strip for those minus a car. Cabs are easily available and its currently about $20 to the south end of the strip. (800) 566-4707 We camped here in a Motorhome. Pricy but conveniently located near the strip. We have stayed here before and find it always clean and very well run. The construction is complete on the high rise building nearby so quiet. Restrooms and showers very clean. Sites are rock and concrete. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. The Good: All paved sites with grassy yards. Most sites are fairly level. Friendly staff nice pool area. VERY well equipped RV store with lots of parts you just don't find in most parks. The Bad: Internet access!!! In this day and age most RV parks charging half as much offer FREE INTERNET! Here it costs another $5.95 PER COMPUTER over the park fees. For that charge you get what is clearly spelled out as "AS/IS. AS AVAILABLE" service which means that the service 2 rows over from the main building was so bad we quit trying to get our Email in frustration the hookups are strangely located in the center of each site. I have a 15' sewer hose and could not reach the dump that's a first in almost 30 years of RVing for me. Very little shade especially in the pull through sites which is where most rigs are parked. I know most people who stay here are mesmerized by the pool but we just aren't those kind of RVrs. Give me a level site with hookups I can reach and good Internet for $30 and I am a happy camper. If you want an overpriced campground and no Internet access for your stay in Vegas this is the park for you. We camped here in a Motorhome. Level pull thru sites with full hookups. We had a premium site close to the pool with a patio & picnic table. Very nice campground. Watering system works during the night so there is grass at each site and some small trees. Several small dog runs. Enjoyed the adult only pool & spa. They also have a family pool. Pool area has lots of palm trees. Convenient to the Las Vegas strip. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. This was a halfway stop on our way home but we plan on returning for Las Vegas trip. This park is very well organized which you will experience as soon as you drive in. They have thought of everything. There seems to be a lot of rules but nothing unreasonable. We knew we were in Vegas when a woman jogged by with a dog wearing sunglasses and running shoes on it's paws! They have a nice store and restaurant on site. The pool was great except not enough lounge chairs. Las Vegas traffic and parking isn't RV friendly so the office staff has an arrangement with local taxis to pick you up at your site. They used to offer a shuttle service but this had been discontinued. The sites are new level concrete with nice hookups. The site size is adequate and there is a small patch of grass. There are no picnic tables or other amenities at the site. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is THE nicest RV Park that we have seen. Many RV parks like to use the word “resort” in their name but this is the only one that we have used that actual lived up to that name. The facilities are much like that of a hotel. The pools are beautiful and there are many activities for parents and kids. Campsites were reasonably priced at $33 but Wi-Fi was an additional $6 a day. We would stay here again when traveling through Las Vegas although we will think twice about going to Las Vegas at the end of July (hot!). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Very nice resort. The pool was awesome. The sites were big pull thrus. We would stay here again if in Las Vegas. It would have been nice to have a shuttle take you to the strip so you don't have to un- hook. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. This resort is great! at the south end of The Strip. Extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I love they have a family and a separate adult pool. The pool area is beautifully landscaped and decorated with trees plants and waterfalls. There is a small campground store at the resort as well as a nice restaurant with reasonable prices and good food. 24/7 security. There are enough dog runs although a bit of grass at the runs would be nice so some rude people who didn't want to pay extra for a site with grass wouldn't use the grass at the sites from other people who did pay extra. We will definitely come back here soon! One of the best resorts we stayed at. We camped here in a Motorhome. A surprisingly busy park in 112 degrees.. but tightly run clean and pleasant. It is very convenient to the Strip and although no shuttle service is available the drive is not far and parking is free at the casinos. We chose a "standard" site which was on the periphery of the park with no picnic table. Although there are small new trees the sites are generally not shaded and we were actually glad to be in a site shaded at times by a huge condo complex next door. The two saltwater pools were a great feature; those not wanting to be splashed by kids can opt for the adult pool. Dog friendly with numerous runs if you are a responsible owner.. posted $50 fine for not cleaning up after your dog and interestingly a $25 reward for any camper reporting such. Security verifies that your sewer hookup is appropriate. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. For the price this is the best RV park that I have stayed in. The amenities are outstanding. The park's roads are all paved as are the individual sites. All sites are separated by grass. The "office" is really a combination of office banquet rooms store with slot machines bar restaurant etc. It is a very nice park. One of the items that I truly appreciated was the security. You have to check into the park each time you enter. It is Vegas after all. We camped here in a Motorhome. Very clean and neat campground. 2 Large swimming pools one is for adults only and is salt water. Nice penned dog run area located at the back of the campground. Conveniently located within 2 miles of the Vegas strip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. Very large Park close to the strip about 2 to 3 miles. Staff surprisingly friendly based on how large this place is. Two separate pools one open to everyone and another pool dedicated to adults only. 18 and up - nice touch. It's hard to believe this place is in the middle of 110 degree heat with all the vegetation around. Sites have a little manicured tuft of grass with picnic table. Hook-ups nice and neat no rusty leaning leaking hook-ups. Lots of security walking around throughout the day. There were restaurants and bars in the park. I used the bar for a drink by the pool it was hot. It is Vegas so keep that in mind but not too much craziness going on. They did have internet but for 5-6.00 a day I didn't use it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. No question this a good RV park although site size varies quite a bit. Select a "premium" site for only a few bucks more. I'm only giving it an 8 because an RV Park this size should have free Wi-Fi instead of charging. The Wi-Fi also doesn't reach all parts of the park. This is 2008. Wi-Fi isn't a luxury anymore. Also they cut out the shuttle to the strip. Big disappointment since the full page TL ad promotes it. We camped here in a Motorhome. Very nice! Easy to get to without the hassle of Vegas traffic. Nice sites very clean with great security. The club house and pools are much better that most. Very friendly staff and well organized. The wife says we are going back soon! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Our only true gripe about Oasis is that the rate doesn't include Wi-Fi. They charge $5.99 per day; and then the connection is spotty depending on your site location. The laundry facilities are wonderful. New clean machines; and they only charge.75. The swimming pools are great. Location is perfect. Close enough to the Strip and to shopping but far enough away to be quiet. Easy access to sites with our 45' rig. Great security. Nice folks at the front desk. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a great RV Resort but I do agree with the other posts to do an upgrade to a Premium Site as the ones in the other section are back to back sites. The pool is great with some shade actually and you need it here! The laundry was nice and clean and had everything you need. I would like to see the shuttle to the strip as traffic is very busy; it is Vegas. For a side trip go to Red Rock Canyon about a 20 minute drive for great scenery when you lose all your money. I would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome. Our third stay here and it was for 10 days. This is truly an Oasis and will be missed if(and when) it is sold. Lots of rumors going around including the employees. Has become more dog friendly still a sewer smell (depending on the wind) and the folks at the front desk still work hard. The place is quite clean considering the massive turnover during any given week. Planned activities are fun but the shuttle to South Pointe does not exist anymore. We camped here in a Motorhome. I can't think of anything reasonable that would have made this park any better. It is well maintained and very clean. The pool area is very nice with lots of tables and fire pits for in the evening. They have a small coffee shop in the clubhouse and a shop where general RV supplies can be bought. Most of the spaces are pull through with concrete slabs and a small plot of grass. We stayed there for NASCAR the past two seasons and will continue to do so as long as they are open. Access to the park is easy from the freeway (1 block) and the Strip is just minutes away. If there is a negative it is that there always seems to be a mis-directed piece of the irrigation system that soaked a part of our patio each time we have stayed there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. We have been here several times and like it very much. I would give it a higher rating except for one main reason - the WiFi was marginal at best and the most expsensive we have ever experienced. And the spa temperature is not up to standard. But we certainly would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Great place to stay though the sites were very narrow and tight. Well managed and offers many services and facilities. Enjoyed the resort style pools & hot tub. They separated "family pool" and "adult pool" so you get to enjoy your pool time nice & quiet. The breakfast @ Rick Cafe was a pleasure. Nice sunny room with great service and food. They had RV washing crews in the resort so you can get your RV cleaned whenever you want. Great site and will definitely return! We camped here in a Travel Trailer. What an awesome place to stay! Clean sites beautiful pools nice putting greens. Yes there are planes overhead - but where can you stay in Vegas to get away from them? I paid for a deluxe pull through site that had grass and was nicely located next to amenities. If you don't pay for that you may end up way in the back where it's just concrete and rocks. We loved it and will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome. One of the best parks in which we have stayed. Helpful staff and security people excellent sites full service helpful on-site repair services clean and pet friendly. Only downside is their WiFi system. Availabale at all sites but in reality many sites varied from 54 Mbps to 1 Mbps. If WiFI is important to you make sure that the reservation person assigns you a good WiFi site. Overall great service ameneties and security. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. This was our first time at this park. The numerous other reviews cover just about everything. The Wi-Fi was too expensive but it worked great at our site. There are sites where it does not work so if you plan to use it be sure to mention this at check in. We didn’t really hear any noise from I-15 and apparently the condo construction (mentioned in other reviews) is far enough along so that there is no noticeable noise. We only heard a very small number of planes and they weren’t that loud. There are several categories of sites and naturally the less expensive ones are closer together. We chose a deluxe site and felt that the space was adequate but could be better. Overall we were very comfortable here and we had no problems. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. The office pool area and cafe are spectacular. The electricity was solid and the water pressure was about 55psi. We paid extra for wireless broadband which worked moderately well. The signal strength is not very high and occasionally the system would not respond for a short time. This is a VERY large park and the sites are barely adequate. We stayed here when the park was full over Nascar weekend and it was claustrophobic. There is a lot of rv traffic all day long as people are leaving and arriving. The airplane noise is deafening when the planes are taking off over the park. There is constant road noise from I-15. Because the sites are so close there is also a lot of barking dogs noise. RPI members can stay here for $10/night which is a bargain but we paid the posted rates and felt that it was overpriced. If you want to be in Las Vegas and near the shopping and casinos this is still a good choice. It's probably the best you can do in Las Vegas. There are cheaper places but here you need to be concerned about security and this park is in a better part of town. I'd stay here again if I had to be in Las Vegas but reserve far in advance and get one of the 'Deluxe Pullthrough' sites with more room. I'd rather have my rv someplace else with no smog noise and big city-ness. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is a huge park but doesn't have that impersonal feeling at all. Staff was excellent always speaking and offering help. We loved the cafe on site and made use of the on site store too. Laundry was clean and there are several scattered around the complex. We were able to get our coach cleaned up on site and propane delivered to us. This is a great place to stay for a Vegas trip. It is located just off the south strip easy to get to the casinos. Sites are large and level with a picnic table. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. Oasis is SO much better than other parks that we checked out in the Las Vegas area. Lots of trees fair amount of grass nice pet areas. Very secure with plenty of employees keeping an eye on things. Only complaint is that sites are a little small but no problem getting in or out. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome. This park is just south of the famous Las Vegas strip. Trolley service available to the strip and casino's ($2.50/day unlimited use). Also dedicated regular service to local casino's nearby. The park is near the airport but noise is not a problem. Across the freeway from a Bass Pro Shop fun to visit anytime. The swimming pools are heated (great this time of year) there is a small cafe on site and convenience/supply store. Lobby area is similar to a grand hotel. I did not give a 10 because many of the sites are piggy back. This often requires some rigs to back in. Your neighbor is either right in front of you or right behind you. Pull through sites look teriffic - those spaces have a picnic table and grass. Pet owners note: there is a $50 fine for not cleaning up after your pet and there is a $25.00 reward for those who report non-compliant pet owners. We stayed here over the New Year's weekend. This park has festivities and a party planned including dinner and drinks for $30/person. We camped here in a Motorhome. Very clean and safe place to stay. Front desk employees are very friendly and helpful. Two clean warm pools and hot tubs. Nice big sites. Very dog friendly several dog walks including a fenced in dog park. One negative is that the dog areas are gravel. They have everything you could want; shuttle bus cafe gaming exercise room ball room activities and a gift shop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. This is a great park in a ideal location. Yes the airport is close and the planes are frequently loud but it is due to the almost right on top of the strip location of both. Getting around was very easy. Access to the park and from the park was a snap. The WiFi was "down for a few days" and therefore I didn't have to pay (not sure I would have as used my air card for my lap-top). The pull thru site I had was well appointed if a little close to the neighbors. I didn't use the pool but the area looked pretty good and the lobby and registration area gives you the feeling of entering a grand hotel. The staff was very helpful. No escort to the site but detailed directions made it easy to find. I look very much forward to returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. Spent a week at this park and enjoyed the stay. But as usual there are pluses and minuses. On the plus side the park has some very nice amenities such the pools a nice restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch a well-stocked RV store a full spread of hookups and clean washrooms. On the negative side there can be considerable highway noise due to the nearby freeway. My major gripe though is the overpriced internet access. $5.95/day or $19.95/week is just too much. However the service is quite good but at that price I would expect a wired network connection or at least the 'N' standard for the WiFi. I may return to Oasis but I will check out other RV Parks first. We camped here in a Motorhome. This is the nicest park you will find in Las Vegas but they make you pay for it. It has more amenities than any park I've ever been in. But you must realize this is a noisy place. There are two high-rise condos being built on the east side and you will be awakened to the construction. Then if the wind is out of the SW which it is often here the planes will be taking off just overhead from McCarran airport. But I guess my biggest beef with the place is the lousy internet service. WIFI is no longer a luxury in my mind and many places are starting to offer it for free. Oasis charges $5 a day for it and it is frustrating. Even if you can get a good signal the bandwidth is being shared across too many users. For a place this nice this is a real weakness. We camped here in a Motorhome. The park is beautiful and well maintained. When we called and made reservation we specifically requested a site with grass because we have two small dogs. When we arrived they had us in a site with hardly any grass. After insisting we finally got a site with more grass. Their dog park is all gravel and outside the park. The dog runs are dirt/gravel. Once again they advertised WiFi but we were not able to get on for any length of time and it is an additional fee. We used the laundry facilities which were clean. They also had a shuttle service to the strip area which was convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome. The Oasis is the premier RV campground in Las Vegas. It is located just off the Interstate-15 but not so close as to hear traffic. The campground is extensively landscaped and looks beautiful. They have an outstanding club-house with a small RV store and restaurant. They offer 2-pools and a jacuzzi along with a golf putt

"Fear and Voting in Las Vegas" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-08-14 16:07:44

A lawsuit filed against the Nevada Democratic Party by the express teachers’ union has created a political controversy for the Clinton campaign and is a possible attempt to act some workers on the Las Vegas strip away from the caucuses this Saturday. Days after Barack Obama received the endorsement of the largest union in the state the Nevada express Education Association filed the conform to. The plaintiffs lay out that the “at large” precincts located in hotel and casino ballrooms for the workers are unfair to teachers who have to bring home the bacon but do not have the option of caucusing at their school.

"Is Las Vegas Planning a $200 M Vertical Farm?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 03:13:57

Over the last bring together weeks news started floating around about a $200 M vertical do work planned for Las Vegas. The vertical farm would house about 100 different crops and sell them to local casinos and hotels. It would also undergo estimated annual revenues of $25 M from produce and $15 M from tourists. At a whopping 30 stories tall this vertical do work would be one of the first in the world. But I'm skeptical of this news because there is no reference to an architect developer or owner. There is no info as to where the vertical farm will go. And the original source used renderings of ' vertical do work pictured above. We've written about and previously and think they will be the real deal in the future but I'm not sure about this one. Anyone out there have more specifics? I actually wrote about this "possible" development on my blog (http://greengolingo blogspot com/2008/01/what-happens-in-vegas-maybe-should html) based on the initial report by NEN... I also did not find much more information out there on specifics either. However i chose to write it up still primarily because the idea of vertical farming is very exciting and given the translation of Las Vegas (fertile plains) even if this turns out to be more dish the dirt than fact maybe we should back up it to happen there... Where would be a more appropriate place to get something desire this off of the ground (no pun intended). speaking of the green blogosphere we also just ran an issue-of-the-day on sustainability in architecture geared more towards the lay reader http://theissue com/issue/8513 htmlis the link. But smart post Preston we might have a place for this blog in our Science and Tech section! Los Vegas is the logical place for several reasons. They undergo had a greenhouse based investigate facility there for decades. It's near the airport and pioneered several technologies: airponics zero g farming for the international lay displace (but NASA doesn't hold the basics of space colonisation so it never flew)and a dozen hydroponic/aquaculture systems. Vegas has some of the beat populate in the field. Secondly there's no chemical industry in Vegas so the sewerage and garbage could be used to fuel the Vertical farm. Water is scarce so farming under furnish with air-conditioning is an important feature. Biosphere 2 is just one state away and it works as a tourist attraction.(They fixed the original design glitch.) The cost in energy and haulage fees means Vegas has relatively expensive food. Correct that there's a mention in that Las Vegas Sun article in my comment just above that purports to be Chris Jacobs. He says he has no idea of the farm (if that's really his comment). A cursory examine in Google of "las vegas vertical do work" shows a lot of people have mentioned this story: EcoGeek. 11th Hour Action. Hugg. Momist. We Do It all Vegas. Kwoff. Ecofriend. Digital Journal. Pacifica Riptide. Yahoo News. Wikipedia. Elite Choice. Vegas Hipster thaindian. Hapster Power. Blogowogo. Smart Economy. Vegas Today and Tomorrow. Business Green. The environment Site. Malaysia Sun. TrendHunter. About my Planet etc.

With boutique properties gaining fasten all the measure as the latest turn in hotel accommodations much of the industry seems to be betting their money on the idea that “more is more” when it comes to distinction elegance and a unique hotel or timeshare resort property. Which leaves the legendary — the world’s largest gaming company — trying to end whether to follow the case or continue doing what it has done so well over the years. Harrah’s carved out its place in the apply and gaming market by catering to the needs of a middle income client who came to Vegas (or other destinations like Reno. Atlantic City and Biloxi) to gamble not to shop and not to spend measure in his or her hotel dwell. Harrah’s hotels along the Las Vegas strip include Harrah’s the Rio the Imperial Palace and the Flamingo. All are very nice but none are true ultra luxury properties. Instead they afford Las Vegas visitors a pleasant place to sleep and shower before returning to the strike lines the shows and most importantly the gaming tables which for many visitors are the bushel reason they came to Las Vegas. None of the Harrah’s properties are timeshare resorts nor are any of them particularly geared to the family vacation. But Harrah’s is now facing new ownership.

And while word on the street is that the investors will get current management in place and let them continue to call the shots w Harrah’s come in of directors initially approved a buyout offer by the two investment companies in April 2007 and late last month gave their approval. Some sources undergo claimed that the acquire of Harrah’s Entertainment is one of the largest leveraged buyouts in history. Apollo and Texas Pacific currently bring home the bacon the investment monies. (around $70 billion) of endowments charities and award funds. The history of Harrah’s Entertainment goes back to an inauspicious origin as a bingo parlor in Reno in 1937. Currently Harrah’s has some $4 billion slated for new projects but not all of it will go to the company’s Las Vegas properties. Many brands in many locations are part of Harrah’s Entertainment including some of the Bally Casinos. Caesars. Grand Casinos. Horseshoe. Paris Las Vegas. Showboat and the World Series of Poker. It will be interesting to observe the changes made by Harrah’s in the days and weeks to come. With the soft economy overall will people who jaunt to Las Vegas be looking for better deals in hotel and timeshare accommodations? Or will the middle-income buyer curtail his trips to Vegas leaving the bespeak primarily among the high rollers who are willing to pay the higher prices for plush accommodations? And how will all of this affect timeshares resorts in destinations with Harrah’s owned and managed properties - which are not limited to Las Vegas. Reno and Atlantic City? Harrah’s Entertainment has resorts and or casinos in: Indiana. Mississippi. North Carolina. Iowa. Arizona. California. Illinois. Louisiana. Missouri. Ontario and Pennsylvania. In the end only time ordain tell. But current Las Vegas looking to sell Las Vegas timeshare or use it as a timeshare rental have plenty of reasons to remain optimistic about the Las Vegas merchandise.
