A large group of us traveled to Vegas for the US Powerlifting Nationals. Since many of us were competing or coaching, we wanted to be off strip, but within 20 minutes of it. And -and this was the big ask- we wanted to see if we could find a place large enough to house all of us, with enough space to spread out, a pool, hot tub, and a kitchen (and preferably a BBQ) to cook meals together. In short, we wanted an athlete/coach/family compound where we could relax and prepare, but be within east striking distance of the strip- first to compete, and then to celebrate.
Thankfully, I found Zizel’s place, and it was perfect for what we needed. It’s 18-20 mins from the strip, and 25 from the airport. The neighborhood is close to many food and grocery options, from supermarkets to Whole Foods and Costco, and from many good and casual eateries within 5-10 mins to upscale restaurants in nearby Summerlin (15 mins).
The house is well spread out, with four bedrooms upstairs, three down, and two in a separate and very nice carriage house (it also has a legit kitchen area, so it’s self contained if you want a midnight snack, or want to avoid everyone in the main house :0)
And not surprisingly, the pools (there are two), were a big hit with the adults and the kids.
Lastly, Zizel was incredibly responsive, both in the lead-up to our stay and during, from local recommendations to general questions about the house. We had an issue with one of the AC’s on our first day, and Zizel replied immediately and had someone out to fix it the same day.
To sum it up, if you’re coming to Vegas and would like a big group destination that allows everyone to be together, and has easy access to the strip while giving you some respite from it, I very much recommend a stay here. Thanks again Zizel!!
