Today's blog post is another post from Stephanie Mulac from Mulac Family Marketers. If you enjoyed reading this post, you'll also love her post about Las Vegas Celebration Spots. Up next on the blog will be more photos of the day.
When considering a visit to Las Vegas and conjuring up images of luxurious pools, hot tubs, palm trees and plenty of activities for the kids, the notion of accomplishing this in your RV at a campground is seemingly impossible unless you check into a hotel that provides the resort amenities you are envisioning.
The pool and waterfall area at Oasis Las Vegas Resort
Most Las Vegas campgrounds were built to cater to travelers who arrive to gamble, as evidenced by the many “cement parking lots” that offer hookups and a straight path to the casino floor. And while there’s nothing particularly wrong with that style of camping convenience, if you are seeking a family friendly resort-like atmosphere that boasts green grass, lush foliage, and family activities, a lot of campgrounds in Las Vegas simply won’t fit the bill.
There is one campground though where families will hit the jackpot (no pun intended) and that is Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort. It is one of our all time favorite campgrounds anywhere and will likely spoil you in more ways than one with its amenities, conveniences and close proximity to the Strip.
What is most amazing about Oasis is that you are one block off of Las Vegas Blvd., and a mere 7 blocks away from the heart of the strip – but while you are inside the property, the tranquility and amenities would have you believe that you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. So you truly have the best of both worlds.
The cleanliness of the park is beyond reproach, but at the same time, it is not so pristine that you feel restricted from sprawling out and using your spot to its fullest or made to feel uncomfortable in the likely event that the kids poke their heads out a window or are so bold as to want to play outside the RV. To the contrary, this is a very family friendly park and care is taken to make everyone feel welcome.
The staff is experienced, knowledgeable and very friendly – much like you would expect to find when checking into a luxurious resort and they maintain a robust calendar of events focused around holidays, special occasions and weekly activities that include family movie night, bible study, horseshoe tournaments, karaoke & poker nights (adults only for these since cocktails are served).
During the last Easter holiday, there was an Easter egg hunt, Easter brunch, and church services to cover every base. And one year, we spent New Year’s Eve at their family gala where the kids were welcomed to dance the night away in a formal ballroom setting that rarely the younger set is able to attend. (And the added bonus was no one at the ball had to worry about driving “home” afterward!)
In addition to scheduled activities, there is a beautifully maintained 18-hold putting course on natural greens that winds players through the entire property to enjoy not only a golf outing with the whole family, but also to absorb the lush landscaping and flora throughout the park.
One of the other showpieces of the property is the pool and waterfall area. An adult only pool removes any hesitation for kids to be kids as this separation allows everyone to enjoy what they are seeking. But it’s the family pool anyway that boasts the sandy beach area, with a walk-in edge and a cascading waterfall that the whole family will comfortably enjoy in lounge chairs spread throughout the area. This is truly a tropical oasis and brings the beach to the desert in style.
Another feature at Oasis is the on property restaurant, called the “Divine Café” and offering a scrumptious menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner, a full bar and daily specials. Moderately priced, this on-site restaurant offers alternatives to heading to the strip for meals and snacks.
Everything is conveniently located right on the property, including a well-stocked store for essentials, souvenirs, snacks, drinks, and yes – even a few slot machines tucked in the corner if the adult family members need a quick fix without traveling to a local casino.
Rounding out this wonderful campground is the excellent security staff which provides a level of comfort not found in a few other campgrounds around town. The older kids can easily move about the property, ride bikes and explore without fear of safety – a major bonus these days in any big city.
And finally, the shower facilities will spoil you forever! Conveniently located in multiple spots around the park are huge walk in restroom/shower buildings that are setup as self contained, individual units – usually 6 per building, so rarely a need to wait for availability. Each of the units feature toilet, sink, shower stall, plenty of hooks and benches – perfect for families with small children that want the privacy of showering without being in an open stall setting.
We absolutely fall in love with this campground every time we return and with a small staff turnover, our daughters look forward to seeing their favorite employees who always welcome us back like family. Las Vegas Oasis Resort is truly a diamond in the desert and won’t disappoint.
