Nothing fancy but good

If you're planning to stay at the Emerald Suites, don't expect any fancy looking resort type hotel. Don't get me wrong, I stayed at Emerald Suites for an entire week and it suited me just fine. It's a great place to stay if you're vacationing and want someplace quiet to relax.
Every room is basically like a one bedroom apartment. There's either one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room and full-kitchen. There's also a swimming pool and laundromat.
I stayed at Emerald Suites during the hottest time of year and I have to say, that I really, really appreciated having a refrigerator with freezer to use. I bought drinks and ice cream that I had waiting for me each time I came back to my room. Also, since I was in Vegas for an entire week, I grew a little tired of the buffets and fast food joints. It was great to be able to pick up a some food at the grocery store or even to be able to bring back leftovers from restaurants to snack on later. Also, since it was hot and muggy, I was constantly changing clothes. It was great having a place to do a quick load of laundry while swimming just a few feet away.
I totally recommend this place if you have children traveling with you and you need a place to chill or warm up formulas and baby food. Like I said, it's nothing fancy but totally worth the money. I got my room at a rate of only $39 per night. The only comment I would like make that is a negative one, is that the Emerald Suites do not have an elevator which can be a bit of a drag. This would explain why the maids are known for tossing the dirty linens over the balcony.
