So it's confirmed. The building is no longer owned by ST Collection and is going through transition in suddle changes.Yes, Zappo's is here, CEOas a resident along with many, many occupying units. Seems like some people maybe bothered by the youths presents and may even be annoyed...not sure where this all stems from.
Residents that are non-Zappos seem to have a lot of complaints about the presence. None of the complaints are major. They seem to be mostly feeling left out or singled out. Gathering from "ALL" local complaints it's that the presence is strong in almost everywhere you go downtown and the changes in the community are great and welcomed. Issues locals rant about: The Zappos events blocking out locals, loudness from units, they are anti-social with locals or non-zappos affiliations, they have strong marijuana smells from particular units and walk into an elevator smelling it up with that smell on consistent daily basis. When you greet them it's hit or miss on weither they will return the greet, it's hit or miss if they'll remember your the next time or 15th time you've greeted them. Their are many complaints I've heard but these seem to be the most heard.
So far with the exception of 2 negative encounters of my own. I believe that it's important to see that some people jut aren't as friendly as we would hope. Yes, maybe it maybe this particular set group but I'm sure If you randomly go around vegas and single out some people you'll probly find they same results socially. I also think in order to PUSH HARD with change in downtown some of these things are nessecary. Being entirely focused on such a project seems like it would need complete focus.
