Headed to Vegas? $39 Suites at Emerald Suites

2 Comments

The deal is provided by Groupon.com.

The deal is $39 for a One-Bedroom Suite at Emerald Suites ($79.99 Value). So you save 51% or $41 with this deal. This deal is being offered until May 23, 2010, 23:59 PST.

Before I start copying and pasting like crazy, personally I have stayed at the one on Cameron St. It’s not too bad. It’s away from the strip so it’s quieter, but it’s also directly across the Orleans Casino and Resort so you can just cross the street and get your gamble on there.

Okay now for the copy and pasting. The descriptions below are from the offer page:

After navigating floating platform staircases, dodging living-room-level bosses, and searching for randomly appearing bathroom keys, most homeowners come to regret purchasing houses built by video-game designers. Today’s Groupon offers respite from the chaos: for $39, you get a one-bedroom suite (a $79.99 value) at one of two locations of Emerald Suites. Choose from the Las Vegas Boulevard location situated mere steps from the famous strip or the Cameron outpost a mile west of the strip.

Each location holds its own charms and advantages depending on the character of your planned stay. If you’re trying to get away from your home while the fumigator gets rid of your unemployed-sibling problem, the Cameron hotel offers a relaxing getaway with patios and balconies off of every room. The Vegas Boulevard locale is a chip’s throw from the glitz and glamour of Sin City’s best casinos and attractions, ideal for accommodating visiting relatives with itchy palms. The boulevard location features a choice of one king or two double beds, and the Cameron hotel offers one queen bed in each suite.

Much in the way that twins separated at birth may choose the same cars, haircuts, and laser-eyed pet snakes, both hotels boast away-from-home luxuries, including satellite TV, Internet access, and complementary local calls and personalized voicemail. Suites come stocked with a fully equipped kitchen to help guests stick to a conservative food budget or reheat Vegas-sized leftovers. Guests will also enjoy free shuttle service to the strip and airport during their stay. Dip into the heated pool to log lap-time before snuggling into freshly laundered and fluffed sheets. For those aiming for a longer escape, you can redeem up to three Groupons in a row. Call ahead to book your reservation.

Reviews

Travelocity users give Emerald Suites three stars, and TripAdvisors give it four:

  • The room itself was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Full kitchen. TV in each room. Nice pool area. Everything you would need. They also have a shuttle that will take you to the strip. Looking forward to staying here again! – Janice G., Travelocity
  • The place is great in that the staff is helpful, great location, courtesy shuttle to South Point, Manadalay Bay and the airport. Great staff and secure. I recommend it on your next stay in Las Vegas. Johnb0y123, TripAdvisor
  • We were only there overnight but everyone was very helpful to ensure our pleasant stay. Very comfortable, quiet and clean. Huge bathroom door was cumbersome but no big deal. Loved having a tv in both rooms – made for privacy and viewing of choice. – NonnnyVon68, TripAdvisor
