If you’re looking for a Las Vegas stay that offers more space, practical amenities, and easy access to both the Strip and offbeat Vegas gems like the Punk Rock Museum and Double Down Saloon, Bluegreen Vacations Club 36 was one of the most convenient hotel stays we’ve had in Vegas.
We stayed here from May 1–3 during our Vegas trip, covering punk culture and live music, and honestly? We’d absolutely stay here again and for 63k American Express Platinum points (aka $446.94), it wasn't bad at all.
Where It’s Located
Address: 372 E Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89169One of the biggest perks of Club 36 is the location. It’s slightly removed from the chaos of the Las Vegas Strip while still being close enough to everything.
The hotel was:
-Convenient to the Punk Rock Museum-A quick drive to Double Down Saloon
-Near restaurants, convenience stores, and essentials
If you’re someone who likes Vegas but doesn’t necessarily want to be trapped in the middle of nonstop casino smoke and crowds 24/7, this location strikes a good balance.
Check-In Experience
Check-in was seamless and easy. There was a $100 deposit required upon arrival, but the process itself was smooth and straightforward.
The lobby had a relaxed vibe, and one unexpected highlight? A robotic self-serve, frozen yogurt machine inside the hotel lobby. Because apparently Vegas said:
“What if dessert was automated?”
The machine offered:
-Vanilla frozen yogurt-Strawberry frozen yogurt
Tiny detail, but honestly a fun touch after a long travel day.
Watch my hotel walkthrough:
The hotel had a pool and hot tub but we didn't get to check it out as we were pressed for time.
Room Tour
We stayed on the third floor, and the room immediately felt more spacious than a standard Vegas hotel room.
Walking in, you’re greeted by a full kitchen setup, which instantly makes the space feel more apartment-style and practical for longer stays.
The room itself felt:
-Comfortable-Clean
-Functional
The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was large, and overall the stay felt relaxing after long days exploring Vegas.
Kitchen Setup
The kitchen was honestly one of the best parts of the room.
Included amenities:
-Hot plate for cooking-Pots and pans
-Full refrigerator
-Microwave
-Dishwasher
-Coffee machine
This setup makes a huge difference if you’re:
-Staying multiple days-Trying to save money on food
-Bringing leftovers back after Vegas adventures
In-Room Amenities
The in-room amenities made the stay feel extra convenient.
Highlights included:
-Full washer and dryer-Laundry detergent provided
-Large bathroom
-Crabtree & Evelyn shampoo, body wash, and soap
-Comfortable bed
Having a washer/dryer inside the room is such a game changer in Vegas, especially after:
-concerts-walking the Strip
-pool days
-sweaty museum adventures or surviving Vegas heat in general
Overall Thoughts
Bluegreen Vacations Club 36 ended up being a really solid Vegas stay for travelers who want:
-convenience-extra space
-practical amenities and easy access to both tourist attractions and local culture spots
While there wasn’t room service, there were plenty of nearby stores and restaurants, so it never felt inconvenient.
I booked the stay using 63k AMEX points, which made the trip feel even more worth it.
Between the location, kitchen, washer/dryer, and comfortable room setup, this hotel worked perfectly for a Vegas trip centered around music, nightlife, and exploring beyond just casinos.
Would we stay here again?
Absolutely.
Vegas Fun Facts & Tips
Vegas Tip #1: Don’t underestimate off-Strip Vegas
Some of the best Vegas experiences happen away from the major casinos, especially if you’re into punk rock, dive bars, live music, or local culture.
Vegas Tip #2: The Punk Rock Museum is a must
The Punk Rock Museum is more than a museum — it’s basically a love letter to punk history with memorabilia, stories, exhibits, and guided tours from actual musicians and scene legends.
