I have stayed at this very same condo, and it looked like the pictures online. I'll be coming back too! There was a broken dish but it was replaced with a whole new set within 12 hours. Beatrice was very helpful and I am certain would have been with any issue. She had people locally available to handle the dish issue that our group had, they even brought us extra because we had some friends joining us for breakfast one morning. The blinds were fine when I was there, so perhaps this woman ripped them down, with verticals it doesn't take much. I am certain that Beatrice would replaced them immediately had she been called. Of course, we read the fine print and were not surprised at construction adjacent and around. Come on, lady, there is always construction in Las Vegas and you should always read the fine print before you agree to anything! Everything that goes on with building construction is public knowledge and readily available with a phone call to building and safety anyway! I don't know about the noise or the construction times, never experienced any such thing as this woman mentions. They started at about 7am, but never woke us, I'm just an early riser, it was actually quite an amazing show and the view was completely obstructed. When I was there construction stopped just before sundown. Most cities do not allow building construction outside the hours of 7am-7pm so I figure the lady is just exaggerating. I would like to see the time/date stamp on those pictures of construction workers jack hammering on what must have been air on the 11 floor of a building under construction. Jackhammers typically are employed to rip up concrete and asphalt, not as noise makers in high rise construction projects on high floors. No one was Jack hammering within earshot while we were inside. I have to wonder what a Jackhammer would be doing so fare off the ground. I also find it hard to believe that construction workers had one foot on her window ledge and one foot on the beam of the building under construction. As for her ADA complaint, it is absolutely and completely unwarranted; I saw that ramp and my crippled cousin, with spinal bifida, wheeled herself right up with out assistance from behind in a non-motorized wheel chair. The city inspectors would never let a wheelchair ramp, temporary or permanent pass if it was too steep under ADA. It sounds to me like this woman should be complaining to Building and Safety in Las Vegas and kicking herself for not reading the fine print. Note she never was asked to leave but left on her own volition where she stayed in a posh hotel that is basically next door to the construction as well. Keep in mind, once the guests arrive, the lesser has no way to re-lease for that period of time. The place has to be cleaned and prepared for the next guest; this takes time and manpower and costs money! I don't think Beatrice Kulish owes them anything because she covered potential issues in her contract. This guest is obviously a professional victim of some kind and enjoys making up exaggerated stories. Has she filed in small claims court? Did she win? If not, then why is she even here? Because she knows she has no case; and because deep down she is obviously not being totally truthful about her families intentions or experience. It is my belief that the family changed their mind, wanted a hotel environment, and made up what ever excuses they could think up to screw this nice lady out of her fee and move their clan in a posh hotel.
