| - I lived at Veer for my very first year in Vegas. Overall I had a wonderful experience and it's always cool to tell people "I lived on the strip".
If you're like most new residents to this town you've only seen the strip prior to moving here. That being said, Veer was perfect for a newbie like me because it allowed me to slowly explore the city from outside of the strip at my own pace. I could go on and on, so I'll just list my main pros and cons of living here:
PROS
- I could walk to work, and a tank of gas in my car could last almost a month!
- The pool/workout/rec rooms are on the rooftop, making it a must see for any guests, in fact it was the tipping point in deciding to live here.
- Staff is very friendly, after a few weeks all the valet knew my car right when I walked up. Security and concierges were always very nice and approachable.
- My highest power bill was $20, normally it was only in the $10 range.
CONS
- After awhile the strip gets to be too much.
- Pain in the butt to get your car from valet and make a run to the grocery store. Not to mention if they close the strip for any reason, you're locked in.
- I hate treadmills, but going for a morning run is a pain in the butt.
- Not a lot of storage space in the unit, I had to tuck my golf clubs and vacuum in a small corner.
- With homes so cheap, you can get a lot more space for the price. (I know: location, location, location!)
There was nothing terrible about Veer, but I love where I live now, when I want my car I don't have to call down for it nor do I wait for an elevator to go upstairs. Yes I have a longer commute now, but I use that opportunity to listen to the radio and catch-up on current events. I also pass a grocery store on my way home too :)
