The location of the property is very convenient to Henderson's offerings, particularly Water Street.
The renovations made to this property (new flooring, renovated bathroom, new beds and bedroom furniture, etc) were nice, but the property is still old and it showed. The neighboring properties were also old and some were neighboring homes were downright dirty with junk piled up in their driveways and such. The neighbor also had 3 large outside dogs that barked a lot.
The shower had nice shower head (including a second head) but it was very high and difficult for my wife to reach (in fact out of her reach to use). The actual tub was one of those old iron ones and although sturdy, did have a section that was chipped/worn and at first looked dirty (it was actually clean).
The property does not have a dishwasher and requires doing dishes by hand (which is not convenient when checking out). Also, there is now washer/dryer (which is not a big deal), unless you happen to need to wash the sheets (which we needed to).
The heating worked great and quickly (needed some heat for January weather), plenty of lights and all electrical outlets seemed to be renovated and in good working condition. Large Samsung smart TV in the living room was nice (many available streaming services but no cable) and the wifi internet (with decent speeds) were in good working order.
[Our Particular Experience]
The listed check-in time was 4PM. However, at about 5PM, I got a text message from the host indicating that the cleaning people had an emergency and asked us when we were expected to check in. The host then informed us the property would be ready by 6:30PM and offered to buy us dinner for the trouble. Although we would have check in sooner than 6:30PM, we thanked the host for the dinner offer but declined and instead asked that the property be cleaned thoroughly as we were traveling with a very young child (19mo) and two small dogs.
At about 6:30PM, I got a message from the host that the property was ready. We checked in sometime after 7PM. Check-in was smooth and the property had nice lighting in the driveway that enabled us to unload in good lighting. When we went inside, were were disappointed to find that the sofa was fairly dirty (stained tops of cushions and a yellow stain that looked like pet urine in the main seat cushion). Also, on inspection of the king beds in the two main bedrooms, we found the sheets were dirty with black hair all over. An easy fix would have been to just wash the sheets before use, but because the property does not have a washer and dryer, we had to use our lint roller to clean all the sheets and pillow cases in the two main bedrooms. The third bedroom had twin beds that appeared to be clean. It took us about an hour to re-clean the property. We immediately informed the host after we were done re-cleaning. By this time, it was quite late at night and we did not hear from the host. In the morning however, I messaged the host again and she informed us that the couch would be shampooed immediately after we check out and she offered to credit us the cleaning fee. We appreciated the offer and asked for the credit. We followed the checkout instructions texted to us and check out went smoothly. Soon after we checked out, the host sent us a credit for the cleaning fee - this was redeeming.
[Recommendations]
Good property for adults and families without small children who want to be away from the "Vegas experience" and close to Henderson's offerings and close to Lake Mead options.
Not recommended for families with small pets and/or very young children.
[Final Thoughts]
I do think our experience was particularly unfortunate due to the cleaning crew emergency and the host did try to make up for the poor experience. I honestly believe under normal circumstances, the property will satisfy the needs of most travelers. The property is located particularly close to everything and even the Vegas experience is easily within striking distance.
