We just returned from a week (late Nov. 2011) at the Royal Resort Timeshare part of the hotel and were very pleased with our one bedroom suite. Even though we did not have a full kitchen - the microwave, small refrigerator, toaster,and coffee maker were enough to allow us to make many simple meals there. The friendly staff were very helpful and efficient. Be sure to ask for a quiet room since they often have music downstairs that can be heard in some roooms. We plan to visit there again soon.

I recently visited the royal resort and the only thing I saw royal as the renovation in the lobby. It looked very nice! When you get upstairs to the suites (timeshare) they are a let down. The only thing I saw upgraded was the bed and flatscreens. The living room has no light (only one small lamp) and the pullout sofas (2) need to be replaced (ASAP). The two bathrooms are great but the carpet (hallway included) needs replacing as well. Its on its way and I hope it continues to improve because it's right around the corner from the strip (location is the best)!

Also known as The Royal Resort Hotel............Avoid this place its so noisy and overpriced, nobody seems interested in pleasing the Hotel Guests, Rock n Roll concerts, Rap gigs, Karaoke in the Bar. Staff on reception do not aim to please....no customer service skills at all?
Too many problems to list...........Such a shame, to be let down by the noise in there, after a refit and lovely new a la carte restaurant...........

Wow! What a difference a year makes! The Royal Resort was a functional, well placed, passable resort. The look now is sensational. The lobby has been completely remodeled to as upscale as you'd like. They have added a sensational restaurant, "The Barrymore". The lounge is old style elegant, with a friendly staff and great prices. They have entertainment on a small 2nd floor showroom or the now elegant lobby lounge. For free!! Excellent, likable bands, soloist or comedy troupes.

Apparently the "hotel/timeshare" is seperate from the renovation. The suites and 1 bedroom units are still functional, but not of the ilk of the lobby. Change may come, and I hope it does, but an elevator ride gets you a good show, a nice bar and a great restaurant. Located a 100 yds from the strip, this is going to be a gem -- functioning now as a diamond in the rough!
