I really enjoyed Nicolo's place whilst staying in Vegas. Me and my travel companion used it as a base whilst attending a 4-day music festival in town, and it suited our needs perfectly for downtime, recharging, cooking, and the general comforts I would enjoy at home. Even extra comforts like the hot tub! Nicolo clearly states that the neighbourhood becomes less safe at night, and he is right to do so. I myself am fairly streetwise so I wasn't too daunted by this, though I could see how some folk might be. That said, I saw and passed through much worse neighbourhoods whilst in Vegas, and it's seems large parts of the town away from the strip are like that. As its within a gated community though, I never once felt that I would be unsafe in or around the property and complex. It's close enough in location to the strip, and provides a great alternative to the much more expensive hotels that are right up there. And is also a much better and affordable alternative to the many motels that are on offer, if you are travelling on a budget. I'd highly recommend Nicolo's place if you are practical and adventurous, and are looking for something other than a hotel package amongst the madness of the strip. Enjoy, future residents!
