This review is not to bash on the host but to let other people know what they can expect when they stay here.
We arrived at exactly 3:00 PM to check-in to Dwight's place, but we had to wait 40 minutes before they were done cleaning the place. This was at the end of July so it wasn't very pleasant having to wait in 104-degree heat.
The very first thing we noticed upon entering the place was a pretty strong sewer smell in the kitchen and family room area. The smell dissipated a bit after some time. The odor came and went during our three night stay. There was also a hole cut into the ceiling above the cabinets in the kitchen. It was covered with plastic and tape. Not sure what that was for but it was not aesthetically pleasing.
The fridge was set at the coldest setting (9) but it was not good enough to keep our drinks cold. The AC ran well, I stayed in the downstairs bedroom and had no complaints but everyone upstairs complained that it was hot and they could not adjust the thermostat any lower because it was locked.
The washer was filled with bath rugs but was never ran so we started our stay with no bath rugs. We had to wash them first. The bathroom downstairs could use more cleaning. The floor had dirt and debris that was not swept or vacuumed.
The hot tub had dirty water. It was actually yellow. I noticed a ring of encrusted dirt at the water line. It wasn't all around but in one area. The pool water was cloudy when we got there and the little ducky chlorinator was floating tilted in the water because it was basically empty. The filter was running though so that was good.
If you're looking forward to shooting pool (billiards) with your friends and family, you will have to do so without the 8-ball. It was nowhere to be found. Also, the sticks need to be replaced. They were quite bent.
We actually cooked during our stay here. There were nine-inch tongs provided for cooking and BBQing. You might want to pack longer tongs if you stay here. The pot and pans were also not very clean. The baking sheets were at the end of its life. The propane tanks were filled.
Someone came by around 2 AM to pull the garbage bins to the street when we were already in bed. This could have been done sooner during the day instead of making noise in the middle of the night.
The place was not 4 minutes from the strip. It was located in an older neighborhood but this was not a deal breaker for us. Cross streets are Maryland and Oakey. We had rented vehicles during our stay, so it didn't matter to us.
Also, there were cameras at the front and back of the house. I wanted to mention this for anyone who values their privacy.
I'm not trying to nitpick but these things affected our stay and our enjoyment of the place during our time in Las Vegas.
The place had lots of bedrooms and beds for everyone. There were a lot of seating inside. So that is definitely a plus. We won't be back though and would not recommend this place to anyone who is used to sparkling clean places and nice areas. You will probably be as disappointed as we were.
We truly enjoyed each other's company and made the best of our time there. For the amount we were charged I just expected it to be a lot better. If you expect 4 or 5-star places. This is not the one.
