| - I'm a pre-construction owner at Veer West...33rd floor Bellagio Fountain view...so I've been through it all...the market sales price adjustment 30% reductions, the early "luxury" days (with few residents), the DELUGE of cheap below market renters (just to fill the building, and the valet was a mess during that period, and the cars were yukky too), the lawsuits from contractors about construction in a different CityCenter building that got us all named as co-defendents (lawsuit against HOA since dismissed, and that building, HARMON HOTEL, is almost fully demolished, improving our views now), and now a bit more normal era.
It's still the most architecturally interesting set of buildings on The Strip, and still the most central location. Still the only rooftop pools. I am happy with my "investment", even if I've lost money.
Regarding some other reviews (comments and corrections):
- To set the record straight, you are never trapped there. There is a circuitous route through Aria and Monte Carlo out to Frank Sinatra Drive that is never closed.
- The location is better than ANY other pied-a-terre could be...more central, better views. And, it's getting better with the tear-down of Harmon Hotel (of course they will probably build something else) and the new MGM arena going in behind New York-New York.
- They are all odd sizes due to the building tilt at 5 degrees, and many are too small. Storage is silly small for full time living. But great for a weekend spot.
- Also silly is a 5-burner stove when you never need to cook.
- Also full size oven is pretty silly, yet no counter space for even a toaster oven. Also, German-made Bosch appliances are trendy, but terrible. They don't do well if left to sit alone for a long period of time...I don't care about a fancy stainless steel refrigerator if it means a slow icemaker (AWFUL...Europeans don't like ice), slow and tiny washer-dryer. But, this still beats a hotel.
- They also take two little dogs (or one big dog). No hotel will do that, but it is pretty funny that the original dog relief area was all the way THROUGH Aria Casino. HAHAHA. The new one is convenient.
- The whining noise mentioned previously turned out to be wind whistling through some brise-soleil panels installed to make Veer LEED certified. A few offending ones were removed and that problem went away. Also, they now adjust the noise levels at Cosmopolitan's MARQUEE nightclub...where the pool parties boomed all night.
- I can agree that it is silly that the closest grocery store is a Whole Foods...nothing walking distance. There should be one, but the area right near by is too commercial to support.
