This review is specific to the Las Vegas location and the trainer that we had there. I have a review pending on the New York location that is going to be quite different.
Much like the previous reviewer, we had a hard time seeing the screen in the room we were in. That may be due to the fact that it was right next to the pool in the resort and two walls were covered in windows, though. There was a lot of sunlight and glare to deal with. The proximity of the pool was quite a distraction was the weekend approached, too, due to the fact that a younger crowd showed up at the hotel looking to party. Friday afternoon, in particular, had a large group of yelling and drunken twenty-​somethings right outside our window.
The included breakfast with the training is the same breakfast that is served to the non-​training residents of the resort, and as I said in my review of that facility it gets old after seven days. There is absolutely no variety, so if you don’t like sausage, eggs, and cold cereal you’re going to be searching for other options in short order. The lunches were a mixed bag. Some of them were pretty good, others… not so much. Id’ say the sandwiches we got the first day represented the best of our meals.
Like the previous reviewer, I had an issue with how our particular trainer taught the class. He pretty much read directly from the book and followed the power point presentation. This was NOT my experience in New York with a different trainer, so I can’t say it’s representative of the company as a whole. Unlike Ara, though, I did not get the impression that our trainer was clueless about the subject. Quite the contrary. He was obviously quite familiar with it… He just wasn’t that great of a teacher.
They are going to load you down with 10+ pounds of books if you go to a boot camp. I highly suggest you make arrangements with your company to ship those books back to your office instead of putting them in your luggage. I made that mistake coming from New York to Vegas (we had two consecutive trainings with NetCom), and it cost my company an additional $ 90 with Delta on top of the $ 25 I had already paid to check my bag.

This is for the Las Vegas location but the quality of the trainer can apply to any of their locations.
For one thing the projector bulb was so dim we had to make the room pitch dark to see the screen.
If Im paying you $ 4000 to see a PowerPoint please have the respect to put a projector in with a working bulb! After complaints the lights were turned off and the bulb not replaced.
The instructor just read the Microsoft PowerPoint slides and it was obvious he did not have a command of the subject.
A few of us in the class just started asking him questions we knew the answers to and he never explicitly answered since he was not clear on the subject.
I could have taught the class!
Should have saved the $ 4K and bought the Microsoft books and read it myself.
Will never use these guys for our company again.
The positives: the food was good and the front desk guy was eager to make sure the right meals were given to the students.
Also the Desert Rose is a good place to stay. No gambling to distract but close enough to walk to the strip.
Rooms have full kitchen and the rooms are clean and updated.
