I was coming to town to see the Dallas Stars hockey team assert their dominance over the upstart Vegas Golden Knights. And while not wanting to offend my hosts, let's just say the trip worked out in many ways in my favor ;) I'd decided to stay another night after listening to a podcast interview of Nili Brosh. She's an incredibly talented Israeli prog-rock and metal shred head guitarist. In the interview she began taking about her new job as the guitarist for the Cirque Michael Jackson ONE show at the Mandalay Bay. So... as I was just a few days from coming to Vegas for the hockey game, I went online and picked up a ticket for the early show Thursday. For this Vegas trip, I'd wanted to stay more downtown and check out an area of Vegas I'd never been to. I'd heard there are some new cool little places, restaurants, bars, etc. It is a kind of resurgence of a scene and an attempt to grow upon a sense of community apart from the strip. A little pocket of culture and civic commingling. For me it was somewhere cool to check out in a city I'd always had a great time in. In need of a place for one more night, downtown, last minute, I went on Airbnb to find some digs. Personally I like to stay in my own space , not necessarily renting a room while the main occupant is still present. There were several options. I always keep my expectations for airbnb places pretty low. That way if it's swanky I'll be all the moore grateful and blown away. My requirements for Airbnb's is usually somewhere in the vicinity of "nice, clean, simple, easy." Paul's place was close enough to the downtown hotel I'd stayed at two nights before, so the transfer of my wee amount of stuff would be hassle-free. It was still downtown but a little off in the more" neighborhoody" parts just east of the container park. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Overall a section of town that seems to be improving. There's a 7-11 one block away, and Paul's recommendation of the coffee shop Publicus was spot on for this coffee snob. The breakfast sandwich was delightful. The Bungalow itself is very cute. I was in #2 of 4 connected units. I never heard a peep from my neighbors. The wi-fi was good. Great shower, comfy bed. Didn't do much in the kitchen, but there's the potential to cook some meals. Stove, pots and pans, coffee maker. There's a little fridge, that's perfect for leftovers or necessary supplies for a short stay. Bedroom and bathroom are nice and roomy. There's a little room between them with some drawers for clothes, as well as hanging rods and hangars for suits, pants, dress shirts, etc... Also the ironing board and iron were appreciated in doing away with some of the travel wrinkles my Vegas wardrobe had acquired. Easy in's and out's...
