I am initially dismayed and perturbed by the location, size, appointments, and amenities of Club de Soleil.
Club de Soleil fronts directly on Tropicana, which is a very busy and strident multilane thoroughfare. There are the miles of elevated electrical cables and phone wires that denote an older infrastructure. The pool is small, the entrance to the condos is dark, and the elevator is slow. The initial approach through the long dark hallways seems to be a pathway through an older apartment building.
The initial view from the deck is acres and acres of mobile homes. The air conditioning is set for a low of seventy degrees, and I am certain that my northern European genes will not bear the heat. Old televisions (three) offer non-HD programming.
It is clear that my trade to the Club de Soleil provides a two-bedroom unit with ample space. The living room has an attractive fireplace that is used this week. The furniture and beds are really first rate. The unit washer and dryer are greatly appreciated. Looking east, the lights of the Strip are welcoming. To the west are snow-laced mountains that border the valley of Las Vegas. Club de Soleil is aligned with sunrise and sunset. The pool area is designed to maximize sun light as well as to provide shaded areas.
Club de Soleil is well managed and maintained. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled with California tile. The kitchen and bathroom counters are newly remodeled granite. Club de Soleil is clean. The pool is a focal point, and is well maintained. While the pool and hot tub are open 24 hours a day, the declining evening temperatures discourage the youngsters from late night recreation.
