My wife brought me to Las Vegas as an early birthday celebration, and on our last two nights in Vegas, she booked us a stay at the Green Valley Resort. Upon our arrival, there was complimentary valet parking, which I must admit, was a very nice touch.
Things just kept getting better from there. At check-in, we were greeted by the front desk agent, Jamie. My wife explained that we were spending time at the resort to celebrate my early birthday. Jamie was super friendly, and she even gifted me a small box of Läderach chocolates which are made in Switzerland and are the best chocolates ever--and... she assigned us a very nice room on the top floor of the resort's hotel.
After checking in, we passed by the bar and noticed that the Raiders were still losing, I mean playing--or trying, anyway. We stopped and had a couple of cocktails while we finished watching the Raiders lose, engaging in a conversation with a fellow patron who was also watching the game.
Once we settled into our room, we explored the beautiful estate, taking in the outside pool, igloos, lounge areas, the casino, and restaurants. We also discovered that the resort is just steps away from "The District at Green Valley Ranch," an outdoor shopping mall that was right up my wife's alley (lol!).
GVR has an outstanding restaurant called Bottiglia, where we enjoyed dining on two consecutive nights, and we also enjoyed expertly crafted martinis at Hank's Steakhouse & Martinis. Leaving GVR was bittersweet, as we had to say goodbye and head back home. However, we're already looking forward to our next visit. With enthusiastic two thumbs up, a five-star rating, and our highest recommendation, we assure you that if top-notch accommodations and dining are what you seek, GVR is the place to be in Las Vegas, NV.
