We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Crest Ranchero Guesthouse! We were a little worried as the surrounding neighborhood was a little sketchy, but the immediate neighborhood was seemingly safe and the actual house was an amazing tropical paradise in the middle of the desert! The landscaping was just beautiful!
We were greeted by the owners who showed us how to use various appliances in the house, like the AC, the ceiling fan, awning and the dual shower heads. The house was one of the best stocked rental places we have ever been to. Everything we needed was provided, including beer, soft drinks, coffee, creamer, water, condiments along with wine/champagne available for purchase! There were plenty of paper products that lasted the entire week, a closet full of linens, robes were provided as well as slippers! Even a KitchenAid Mixer was provided for use! The guesthouse itself was beautiful and perfect for two people and two dogs! The owners made us feel right at home and was very friendly and helpful!
We did not use the swimming pool as it was a bit dirty and the weather was a bit cool. We wanted to use the hot tub, but we were told three days before we arrived that it was not working by the manager. This was disappointing as we brought our two little dogs with us and hoped to spend some of the time at relaxing at the house with the dogs and using the hot tub.
The dogs enjoyed the house and beautiful lawns surrounding the house. We felt fairly safe walking the around the immediate neighborhood, and found a great park, Paradise Park very close by to walk them every morning. The park had a gravel waking trail that was about 2/3 of a mile around, so it was perfect for them. There were a lot of people walking the trail alone and with dogs, so it also seemed safe. Reviews of the park indicated potential problems with vagrants and drug dealing, but it was pretty clean and seemed to be patrolled, so seemed safe at least during the day.
The house is very close to the strip, so easy to get to all of the casinos. We won money gambling mostly off the strip as the strip is getting too expensive. We saw the show Le Reve at the Wynn (I highly recommend this show), and celebrated my husband’s 65th birthday at Gordon Ramsey’s newest restaurant, Hell’s Kitchen, located at Caesar’s. We also visited Red Rocks Canyon and did the Las Vegas Reality TV Show Tour which was awesome!
All in all, we had a wonderful time at this wonderful guesthouse!
