We had a great stay at the Southern Gem. The house is in a quiet neighborhood. The Strip is about 15 minutes by car. There is some noise from arriving and departing airplanes, but it did not impair our stay at all.
The house itself is clean, stylishly decorated and included all necessary equipment. The host even provided us a crib and highchair for our son. Watany was very helpful and replied quickly to our messages before and during our stay.
If you are looking for a great place to stay while in Las Vegas, the Southern Gem is an excellent decision.
