The highlights at this Westin are the brand's signature features: a large, modern gym, a great spa, and the Heavenly Bed. The dark atmosphere, dated decor, and sub-par upkeep diminish this mid-priced hotel's appeal. But travelers who want to be close to the Strip but away from the crowds will appreciate the location.

The 643-suite Marriott's Grand Chateau is a mid-range time-share property located right across from Planet Hollywood and a five-minute walk from the Strip. Spacious Guest Rooms or Villas have pleasantly homey decor and come equipped with full kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas, plus they have washers/dryers. Two outdoor pools include a small rooftop option, plus both pools have bars -- one of which serves food like cheeseburgers. There's no full restaurant on-site, but there is a 24/7 marketplace. Fitness facilities are modern and impressive, but there's no spa or casino. The hotel is one of few properties that doesn't tack on a resort fee, plus it offers free Wi-Fi and free valet parking. As an alternative, the Hilton Grand Vacations on the Boulevard has a spa and bigger pools.

A 10-minute walk from the central Strip, the 715-room Tuscany is more utilitarian than stylish, but offers great value with large and comfortable suites, reasonably priced restaurants, and a free gym and parking lot. Its other amenities -- two small pools and a hot tub and a locally loved casino -- don't dazzle, but they're nice conveniences. Travelers who need a cheap place to stay on the Strip could try New York New York, though rooms there start at about half the size of the ones at Tuscany.

This three-tower, off-the-Strip hotel is known for its crazy parties and celebrity stopovers. It features over 700 sleek rooms with up-to-date technologies; numerous popular clubs, and two large pool areas. But while there are some good restaurants, the food is not a main attraction, unlike at similarly priced Strip centerpieces such as MGM or Mandalay Bay, or even at off-the-Strip Hard Rock, which boasts a Nobu.

With its 787 spacious suites and relaxing pools, this mellow, off-the-Strip time-share hotel might have you thinking you're not in Vegas at all. The upper-middle-range Wyndham property is a bit removed from all the action, since the Strip is about a 15-minute walk away (the hotel offers a free shuttle service). Highlights at this massive hotel include three attractive outdoor pools, four hot tubs, two fitness centers, activity rooms packed with arcade games, pool tables, and organized activities. Suites are large and have full kitchens, living rooms, dining areas, and washers/dryers. Dining options aren't great -- there's a cafe, lobby and poolside bars, and a Starbucks cart. Wi-Fi incurs a fee. For something with a more central location, check out the Jockey Club, which also offers spacious suites with kitchens.

The upper-middle-range Tahitian Village on S. Las Vegas Blvd is a large (876-room) time-share property that rents one- and two-bedroom suites. Rates are reasonable considering the array of features (including a spa), many of which other time-share properties off the Strip often lack. This property is very family-friendly, with a lazy river, weekly luau, and kids' activities room. In-house eateries are limited to a Denny's. The tropical decor is a little kitschy, but suites are clean and spacious; all have kitchenettes or full kitchens.

Convenient to the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is a quiet alternative to Strip hotels, particularly for business travelers and conventioneers. But with near-nightly entertainment, a sizable casino, and various dining options, the resort doesn't have to be all work, no play. Travelers who want an even shorter walk to the convention enter could try Residence Inn Las Vegas Convention Center, though it lacks resort features (no casino, no restaurant or bar, no room or poolside service).

Opened in August 2008, the 478-room Club 36 is a time-share hotel with clean, modern suites equipped with full kitchens, dishwashers, and washers and dryers. But the indoor pool, noisy planes over the sundeck, limited dining, and remote location don't make it an ideal pick.

A business hotel beside the Convention Center with sleek interiors, a great gym and an excellent steakhouse. Rooms are standard and boring; suites can accommodate large parties and families. The scene at this non-gaming, off-the-Strip Marriott property is mostly conventioneers, and wouldn't be fun for leisure travelers.

With an extra sofa bed and a kitchen in all 256 studios and suites, this Residence Inn could be a comfortable, smoke-free, casino-free, money-saving option for a family or group that's willing to use the stove. Plus, public spaces were renovated in 2012, and the hotel is just off the Strip, down the street from the Hard Rock and other casinos and surrounded by restaurants.
