The Courtyard Las Vegas Henderson/Green Valley delivers affordable comfort and convenience to the southeast corner of the Las Vegas area. The hotel is situated within a short drive of three iconic man-made attractions: the Las Vegas Strip, the Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead.

Walkthrough Tour: Guest Room, 2 Double Beds
Room Entrance
Our two double bed room was pretty much as expected: standard Courtyard room with basic amenities and a comfortable bed. The room appeared heavily trafficked, but clean.

Room Amenities
Bathroom
The toiletries were from the 39 Degrees North line, which are standard at many Courtyard Marriotts these days (and which I actually kinda like).

No hotel in Vegas can be legit without a swimming pool for those blazing summer days in the desert. The Courtyard’s pool fit the bill.

The Bottom-Line Review: Courtyard Las Vegas Henderson/Green Valley (Nevada)
Overall, we had a good (if unremarkable) stay at the Courtyard Las Vegas Henderson/Green Valley. The hotel provided a comfortable base for our adventures, with standard amenities and easy access to the Las Vegas Strip, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead. Aside from the location and “standard” Courtyard Marriott product, the best part of this stay was the price – particularly when paying with points [for 5 nights] – you really can’t beat that for a solid, basic stay (with no nightly resort fee).
Final Rating: 7 out of 10
