rdickinson Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Stayed at the KOA for one night when passing thru in early January. Place was fine, pool, good facilities. Oranges for the picking on the trees. They have covered parking if you want it. OK for Big Rigs, bar, restaurant, store.....full meal deal. No complaints here. Casinos within walking distance....Google it up. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry&Donna-AK Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Don't know of any RV Parks within close walking distance of the Strip but there is a KOA at Circus Circus, I'm unfamiliar with this park. Also, there is the "Clark County Shooting Complex" at the extreme NW Las Vegas. Pull Thrus & Rates are reasonable, 20-30 minute drive to the Strip Planning Nanook version 2.0 Nanook "When we made ready to depart, after a few days, Nanook was beside himself with joy.

Security team 24/7 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks Roger! Forgot to mention in my post that we have a small dog also! I was hoping to get a few repliesfrom members that actually experienced a park and then I was going to check those parks out online...It's alsogood to hear about first hand experience!

Ronbo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 We stayed at a park between the strip and I15 on the south side of Tropicana. With Passport America it as $30 per night. Worth mush more than that. Paved pads. Adult pool. Very nice. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakJack Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 At only 65 feet overall we might not be quite as big as some of your rigs but had no trouble fitting into one of the pull throughs at Main Street Station Casino. We were traveling with one of our German Shepherd dogs. They had a dog walk area not far from our site. Good luck finding space.

VallAndMo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Howdy, We stayed at the Circus Circus around 3 years ago, it was a KOA at that time if memory serves. It was a big parking lot, but a reasonably well organized one, rates not to expensive and definitely within walking distance to the Strip (we did walk there and back the night we arrived).

Nuke-E Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 We have stayed here and it worked out well. http://www.oasislasvegasrvresort.com/ Also beware the KOA is no longer at Circus Circus. They moved to another location! I've stayed there also. Can be a little tight turning into some of the sites if you're worried about driving on the manicured grass, but was a really nice place to stay. Like most establishments in Vegas, you could randomly part with your money and/or get married without leaving.

rdickinson Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I would also add that KOA will fwd book your stay for the next night with your rig. If you're pulling long days on the road this will take the guessing out of where you will or can stay or fit. Call re pet policy, it may be on line also....probably not an issue. Some have an axe to grind re KOA but I'm not one of them. Older parks may have size constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana25k Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Unless something has changed the Circus Circus KOA was slated to be closed last year.

billr Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 For sure the KOA was closed at Circus Circus, they ended the lease. They are re-purposing the land. Its now at Sams Town which we stayed at a few years ago as their own park. Nice facilities easy in and out and at 65' we fit on the site with Smart parked on pad as well. Dogs were no issue. Walk next door to big Casino food, movies etc. There is a free shuttle to Strip. We also stayed a month at the Oasis on Vegas Blvd Its about 10 min from main strip by car. Not walking dist to anywhere. Not sure about shuttles. It is close by car to 3 casinos 5 min or so. No issues with 4 large dogs. They do req you to use the dog parks for business and they have many. For sites you have to use the big Super sites pull thrus or whatever they call the. They take two sites and use them as one for big rigs. They are very nice. Highest cost sites though.

Jack Mayer Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Be aware that Sams Town runs a good shuttle that hits the strip and the downtown area. I've not used it for 5 years, but it was always reliable and timely. And it was free. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

VegasFlyer Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The RV Park at Main Street Station is quite good for anyone who wants to be downtown, you are only two blocks from Freemont Street and there are busses going down Main Street that go up and down the strip. Thier spaces should accommodate most of the bigger rigs on this board. Sam's Town would not be bad, though not as favorable if you want to walk around. On Blue Diamond Road and I-15, there is a very nice upscale RV Resort that caters to the high end Motorhomes. Anyone who would like further info, feel free to private message and I would be happy to help out.

Security team 24/7 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Well, thanks guys this helps out big time! I pass through Vegas fairly often in the summer season when I'm running commercial loads from western canada to southern az! Usually stop at the Loves in N Las Vegas overnight. This pit stop prepares me for my destination delivery location in Phoenix or Yuma the next day! The most I ever get to see of vegas is a view from the bypass hwy 515 heading south through henderson! Come to think of it...Last august when I was there, it was still 107 deg at 9pm, and 119 the next day in Phoenix! It will actually be a pleasant change to go there, find a park and kick back for a few days with a cool one and good cigar while DW gets relieved of our hard earned cash! Thanks Bill, I figured you guys had gone to FL..Haven't seen the " Dog House" in Az now for a couple of years! We had a very strange and cool start to the winter here in Yuma (El Nino) I guess..but Feb came in 80's to 90's and saved the day! I almost stopped by last summer when I was in your neck of the woods through "The Sault" to visit, but I wasn't sure if your guests wouldhave been to happy to wake up in the morning to see a "53 foot trailer with Hazmat placards " all over it..I'll wait till I have a full trailer of potato chips and beer! Hope you guys have a great "Camping Season" in northern ontario this year!

bmzero Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 We stayed at Sam's Town in November for the SEMA show. The drive into town or Uber ride in the evenings was more of an inconvenience than I expected. If I can stay closer to the strip this year, I will. The campground was nice and the staff was great as well. "Willy Mammoth" - Volvo 730, Sold Heartland Cyclone 4000 Toy HaulerT-Minus 26 years and counting to being a full timer.
