| - So prior to moving here, Regency Towers, I looked for reviews and couldn't find any. So now after living here for some time I thought I would write a review and hopefully help future possible residents with their decision...
So first off we rent, thankfully...I would have been very disappointed if I had bought a condo here at Regency.
So first off the renting/move in process; A few things to be aware of, Regency Towers Management makes you as a renter complete an extensive background packet, including a background check. Of course Nevada Law states renters can not be subject to any special conditions that owners are not also subject to, such as background checks. Well I guess Regency Towers hasn't figured out that law because they do make renters do these packets and background checks that owners do not have to do. So just be aware of that.
Also since you are living in the gated Las Vegas Country Club you will have to make a deposit, $250, for each vehicle parked on property. The deposit is so if they find you speeding or something they can fine you...I haven't had this happen yet but waiting for the day they attempt to fine me for anything. They will understand law a little more clearly if they ever attempt to do so. You also have to give them your vehicle registration and proof of insurance...another invasion of privacy. They don't check visitor vehicles for proof of insurance when they come on to the property so not sure why they would check residents vehicle insurance.
So back to the Regency Towers. So where to start...the plumbing in this 40 year old building is bad, very bad. They are currently undergoing a very invasive "fix" to the plumbing lines in an attempt to not have to replace the lines. The invasive "fix" consist of a company going down each section of the tower and lining the sewer pipes with a new liner. During this process they have to gain entry to the units in the area of the fix, causing an ongoing disturbance to residents.
On to the ongoing, non-stop putting lipstick on a pig remodeling...so they renovated the pool, it was a nice renovation but truly unneeded. They also placed this pebble stone treatment on the driveway, again unneeded. They also renovated the valet area so they had somewhere to place valet carts. They also replaced the front door to the building. They also renovated the circular planter in the driveway. They also are putting lights on the front sidewalk portion of the building. They also have a ton of small projects that are never ending...all of the above projects have been just in the last 4 months. So everywhere you go on the property there is construction...not a good living experience. So after all that lipstick on a pig remodeling they fail to fix the things people use the most...like the elevators. They have two main elevators and one of them has a door sticking problem; the door will open about 4 inches get stuck for about 30 seconds, close and sometimes do this multiple times before opening. The elevators also don't have good safety sensors, be careful trying to prevent the door from closing by placing your hand in between the doors...its dangerous. You also have the unlevel floors in all of the units...the floors, like many cement high-rises with the same age have this problem. The floors are so unlevel you honestly can't help but notice it.
So it's a 40 year old building that has seen better days. They attempt to be high-end and at one time most likely were a much nicer building...now not so much. When you allow pet owners to use the front grass area as a bathroom making the whole front area smell it's not really a high end place.
And finally you also have a woman who is on the board of the Regency Towers that places daily bulletins in both of the elevators...her OPINION on many subjects. The "facts" she places in many of these bulletins are not actual facts. So on many days you get to read about her personal opinion on things like politics...real classy.
So there is my OPINION of the Regency Towers in Las Vegas. If you still decide to rent or buy in this building I with you luck but you should really think about it
