Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Desert Club Resort

About the Resort

Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Desert Club Resort is a timeshare property on Koval Lane, a short distance from the Las Vegas Strip. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 across more than 9,000 reviews, and the general consensus points to bright, well-kept suites, an on-site restaurant, five outdoor pools, a putting green and two gyms. It's run under the Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand, so owners and renters can expect the consistent housekeeping and service standards that come with a managed hotel-style operation rather than a small independent property.

The Area and Things to Do

Las Vegas needs little introduction. The resort's Koval Lane address puts the Strip itself around 5 miles (8km) away, with all the headline casinos, entertainment and dining that implies. Fremont Street Experience, the older downtown district with its vintage casinos and LED canopy, is roughly 3 miles (5km) in the other direction. For owners who want to get out of the city, Red Rock Canyon (about 20 miles/32km) offers scenic drives and hiking among dramatic rock formations, Seven Magic Mountains (around 22 miles/35km) is a popular stop for its stacked, painted boulders, and Valley of Fire State Park (roughly 40 miles/65km) is worth the longer drive for its red sandstone landscape. It's a destination that works equally well as an entertainment-led city break or a base for exploring the Mojave Desert.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Desert Club Resort and are thinking of selling or renting it out, a few brand-specific points are worth knowing before you set a price. Holiday Inn Club Vacations does not publish a standard resale transfer fee — the $1,200 figure sometimes mentioned on the brand's own Horizons page is actually an exit fee charged when an owner leaves through the company's own program, not a fee for transferring ownership to a private buyer. Owners report that Holiday Inn Club Vacations exercises a right of first refusal on resales, so any private sale may be subject to the brand stepping in to buy back the contract on the same terms. It's also worth knowing that owners report points-based ownerships typically revert to a fixed deeded week once resold, except at three resorts (South Beach, Lake Geneva and Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain) — Desert Club Resort is not one of those three, so a resale buyer here should expect to receive a deeded week rather than flexible points. Typical transfer times aren't published, so build some buffer into any sale timeline.

On BidMyTimeshare.com, selling or renting works as a direct, owner-to-owner listing: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to publish your week, and we take 0% commission on the sale or rental itself — the price you agree with a buyer is the price you keep.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Buyers researching a resale week here should ask the seller or the resort's owners' association directly for the current annual maintenance fee and confirm in writing what the week actually includes (fixed week vs. points, unit size, season) before agreeing on a price, since none of this is standardised across the resale market. Renters typically want to know the travel dates, unit size and whether the week includes access to the pools, gym and putting green on-site — all genuine amenities at this property, so it's worth listing them clearly. The resort is RCI-affiliated, so some owners also use their week for exchanges rather than booking straight through to Las Vegas itself.
