We were very excited to end our Zion trip at this condo in Vegas. I was even more excited for this condo then the Zion trip but as the trip approached, I read some negative reviews of this airbnb that concerned me but honestly it prepared my expectations of this place.
Communication-wise, I never received a response to a question I asked a few days before the stay; I thought that was off since they later sent an auto-message welcoming us to their place, but it was not an urgent question so I brushed it off.
The place itself was an alright stay for one night - if we spent more than a night in Vegas we would have been really disappointed. The photos on the listing look phenomenal but right away we noticed that the place is more lived in and outdated then the fresh/modern perspective from the photos. When we arrived, we noticed that some of the furniture was stained/scratched/dingy enough for us to wonder why they kept it in the unit. A couple light bulbs were burnt out or didn’t work. The morning of our departure, we couldn’t get anything but hot water out of any of the sinks - kitchen and both bathroom faucets only let out hot water and one of the sinks’ cold faucet handles in the bathroom was broken so did not even turn. This was an issue since my partner was feeling dizzy and needed a glass of water before heading out. The general vibe wasn’t dirty but there was were handprints on the ceiling and dingy furniture that took away from the luxury vibe we expected from the photos. The best part was the balcony, but it did not have any furniture and also did not face the strip - your views are a lot of suburban homes unless you stand at the end of the balcony and look across the highway to the strip. You can see mountains in the distance though. All in all it was an okay place to leave our stuff and sleep in, but would not recommend to friends or family.
My biggest tip for people staying here is something out of the hosts’ control so doesn’t contribute to the rating. Be prepared that during this pandemic time, you will have a difficult time getting transport thru rideshare/cabs. It is a 35 min walk to the strip so if you’re good with walking it isn’t a problem. We tried getting a lyft/uber out to the strip for dinner and there were no available drivers (for two people). We asked the concierge for help calling a taxi and he was actually pretty rude and not helpful. we ended up having luck downloading the Curb app or finding out later in the night to order an upgraded car with a higher fee (like an Uber XL) as drivers are more likely to accept those rides. If you have a flight to get to, I recommend preparing a day early by scheduling a pick up time through uber to ensure someone will be there to pick you up in time.
