Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino

We tried the Fresh Buffet at the Westgate hotel for breakfast and the food was delicious. It was very reasonably priced at $16 a person ($13 if you have the rewards program) and $8 for children. Our server Reyden was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely go back.

Our trip to the Westgate started out with 2 disaster rooms in the first 5 hours, we were finally upgraded. Still would not have given a good review, but Thomas is security made my trip when he helped me find my lost phone. He is a 5 star employee!

So some of the reviews about the Westgate seem way overblown with the bad, because I felt there was plenty to appreciate with this resort. While it wasn’t as large in scale as some of the other resorts on the Strip, it was much easier to navigate and much quieter since it was a little off the beaten path. Definitely more of an “old Vegas” feel, which I actually enjoyed. The Monorail stop was super convenient for a lot of my travels, and saved me a lot of hassle (and dollars) when navigating the city. I’m not sure if our room was one that was updated or not; it definitely didn’t look like the pictures, but everything was clean and comfortable. We had a nice view overlooking the golf course, so I can’t complain about that. The time share people did heckle us every now and then, but a kind, firm “no thank you” sent them off in another direction pretty easily. All my interactions with the staff were good, especially Tom the taxi guy, who gave us a great recommendation for lunch! While none of the food options were exactly cheap, they were on par for what we paid everywhere in Vegas, so we just rolled with it, and enjoyed what we did have. Would I stay here again? Sure, if the price was right. It’s got a tried but true grit that I appreciate.
