Which fits you. > Publisher: Nina Loves Vegas, run by host Bei Zhang (https://ninalovesvegas.com/about). Booking on Airbnb only. **TL;DR** - **Up to 16 people, or three or more families:** Lucky Villa. Six bedrooms, three of them master suites with their own bathrooms, 4.5 baths and three kitchens. - **Up to 12 people, grandparents or toddlers in the group, or a winter trip:** Desert Oasis Villa. One level with no stairs, a fenced backyard, a crib and high chair at the home, and a private hot tub available all year. - **More than 16:** book both as two separate Airbnb stays (up to 28 guests). They are in different parts of town. - Both have free parking, allow pets, and are booked only on Airbnb. Rates are live on Airbnb, not on this page. Full disclosure: we (Nina Loves Vegas) host both homes. This page exists so you can pick the right one, or decide neither fits and book a hotel instead (see when a hotel wins in our [multiple-families guide](/las-vegas-trip-with-multiple-families)). ## Side by side | | Lucky Villa | Desert Oasis Villa | | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Guests (max) | 16 | 12 | | Bedrooms | 6, including 3 master suites | 5 | | Beds | 9: 2 king, 3 queen, 1 twin-over-twin bunk, plus 1 futon sofa, 1 pull-out sofa, 1 air mattress | 6, including a queen bed and a sofa bed (full list on Airbnb) | | Bathrooms | 4.5 (4 full, 1 half; 3 en-suite) | 3 | | Guests per bathroom when full | about 3.6 | 4 | | Kitchens | 3, including a modern open kitchen | A full kitchen, plus an outdoor kitchen | | Pool | Private free-form pool with rock waterfall, **not heated** | Private pool, available all year | | Hot tub | No | Private hot tub, available all year | | Outdoors | Two private backyards, covered patio with string lights, firepit, BBQ grill | Fully fenced backyard backing onto the golf course, firepit, outdoor kitchen and BBQ grill, pergola dining | | Games | Foosball, shuffleboard, board games | Pool table, board games, books | | Layout | Multiple living areas | Single level, no stairs | | Baby gear | Pack ’n play on request | Crib and high chair at the home; travel crib on request | | Work | Wi-Fi and dedicated workspace | Wi-Fi, ethernet, workspace in a room with a door | | Parking | Free on premises | Free on premises | | Pets | Allowed | Allowed (see listing for limits) | | Gatherings | Small gatherings; quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM | No parties or events | | Check-in / checkout | 4 PM / 11 AM, smart lock | See the Airbnb listing | | Location | A family home near the Strip | Desert Inn area, backing onto the golf course | ## Pick Lucky Villa if… - **You are three or four families.** Each family's adults can take a master suite with its own bathroom, and the other three bedrooms go to kids and grandparents. See [how families split rooms and costs](/las-vegas-trip-with-multiple-families). - **You are 13 to 16 people.** Desert Oasis Villa tops out at 12. - **You will cook a lot.** Three kitchens means one family on the turkey, one on sides and nobody underfoot. That is why it is the house in our [Thanksgiving for four families](/blog/thanksgiving-vegas-2026-four-families-hotel-vs-villa) price check. - **The kids want a game room.** Foosball and shuffleboard, plus a bunk bed they will fight over. Not ideal if: you want a warm pool from late fall into spring (it is not heated). If someone in the group needs a single-level home, Desert Oasis Villa is the one we can confirm is all on one level. [See Lucky Villa](/homes/shamrock) ## Pick Desert Oasis Villa if… - **You are 12 or fewer.** Two families, or one big extended family. - **Grandparents or toddlers are coming.** It is all on one level with no stairs, the backyard is fully fenced, and there is a crib and high chair at the home. - **You are coming in winter.** The private hot tub is available all year, which matters when Las Vegas evenings are cold. - **Someone needs to work.** There is ethernet and a workspace in a room with a door. Not ideal if: you are more than 12, or you want each family to have its own bathroom (3 baths for 12 people). [See Desert Oasis Villa](/homes/desert-oasis-villa) ## More than 16 people: book both A group of up to 28 can take both homes as two separate Airbnb bookings. They are not next door to each other, so choose one as the dinner house (Lucky Villa's three kitchens and covered patio dining make it the natural pick) and plan to drive between them. Our [group room calculator](/tools/vegas-group-room-calculator) shows what the same group would pay in hotel rooms. ## Both homes, the same rules - Booked on Airbnb only; the exact address comes from Airbnb after you book. - Free parking on the property, pets allowed, no smoking inside. - Not party houses: small gatherings at Lucky Villa, no parties or events at Desert Oasis Villa. - Exterior cameras are disclosed on both listings; Lucky Villa states there are none inside.
