Halloween in Vegas

We stayed in a 1 bedroom unit. It was spacious, clean and well appointed, with everything you would expect from HGVC. We were there on a VIP "trial" membership. After our stay, we decided to become owners. We love Las Vegas, and love staying at HGVC. Quiet and clean with granite counters, washer/dryer, full kitchen, comfy bed, no shortage of hot water, flat screen tvs and Bose home theater system. The hotel staff are awesome -- friendly and eager to make your stay memorable. For this location, renting a car is best - try www.cheapovegas.com (although the Deuce and bus do stop out front). Easy parking at this location--no hiking for miles from a big parking garage to your room--it's 5 minutes tops. We especially like the fact that the property is non-smoking and non-gaming. It's great to get away to a clean, quiet, smoke-free "home away from home" after a fast paced day in Vegas.

The Voodoo Lounge is an excellent place to have dinner and take in the Vegas skyline. Voodoo is located on the top floor of the Rio Hotel and Casino. The entrees are moderately priced ($25-$40). The New York steak with blue cheese and wild mushroom fricasee is amazing. Portions are generous and the service is excellent. Voodoo has an aptly named cocktail called the Witch Doctor, a fruity drink that comes in a huge goblet with bubbling dry ice on top. It's perfect to share with friends, but watch out, the Witch Doctor will get you when you least suspect it (it has at least 4 shots)! After dinner, be sure to visit the lounge at the top, where you can relax, sit on the couches outside and enjoy the view, or dance to the music (either live or DJ). We had dinner there on Halloween night and there was a great costume party going on. It's our favorite place to dine when in Vegas.
