* I donate 10% of payments from guests to charity: the Pattaya Orphanage located in Thailand. For more info & ways to donate directly their website is ThePattayaOrphanage.Org
(In 2011 we raised over $400 for the orphanage. In 2012 the goal is to raise over $800).

* Kitchen (see photo) has a coffee maker, Brita water filter, rice cooker, microwave, toaster oven
- Gas range's 4 burners for cooking work but the oven for baking doesn't (so it stores pots & pans)

- Just ~3 miles / ~9 minutes (by car) west of the Strip, this one story, single family house is a 2 block walk (or drive) to Chinatown, Smith's Supermarket and other shops.
Approximate distances from my house, one-way taxi fare and driving time to the Vegas':
- Strip (T.I., Wynn, Venetian & other hotels & casinos, et cetera): 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers), ~$14+tip, ~9 min
- Palms or Rio Hotel & Casino: 2.1 mi (3.4 km), ~$10+tip, ~6 min
- McCarran Airport: 6.6 mi (10.6 km), ~$30+tip, ~17 min
- Downtown (Main Street/Fremont Street): 6.1 mi (9.8 km), $28+tip, ~15 min
- Sands Expo & Convention Center: 3.2 mi (5.1 km), ~15+tip, ~10 min
- Las Vegas Convention Center: 3.7 mi (6.0 km), ~$15+tip, ~8 min

- House was built in 1979 & extensively renovated in 2010 with lots of green improvements: high efficiency toilets, windows, some LED lights, garden drip-irrigation, etc.

- It's a quiet residential block with plenty of free street parking.

- Private Bedrooms (see photos).

- Access to Common Areas (see photos): Kitchen, Living Room, Family Room, laundry area with washer and dryer.

- Wi-Fi internet thru-out the house. Computer internet terminal & printer available.

- There's a large, fenced-in back yard with desert landscaping.

- I'll provide clean linen, pillow cases, blankets, towel & shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, floss, q-tips, lotion, sunscreen. Guests can also use my: hair dryer, iron, ironing board, umbrellas, iPod or Sonicare charger, treadmill and so on.

- No cable TV but I do receive free NBC, FOX, CBS, PBS, ABC, My LVTV, Vegas TV, CW LV channels & several Spanish-language channels. I have a DVD library you can borrow from and I have Netflix.com & Amazon.com Prime video streaming.

- Free Vegas guidebooks, magazines, maps & “Chan’s Homemade Vegas Guide.” If you need a tour guide I may be able to show you around Vegas. I also have info on other destinations in the US (eg the Grand Canyon) & international (eg Europe).

- If you don't bring a car you can get a rental for ~$25/day eg thru Travelocity.com, take a taxi (~$14+tip to the Strip) or take public Bus 203. From my house it's a ~11 min walk to the bus stop, ride Bus 203 eastbound for ~14 min & you'll be on the Strip.

- Free Snack/Breakfast Items (self-serve): Coffee, tea & AS AVAILABLE Cup-o-Noodles, milk, cereal, oatmeal, eggs, cheese, orange juice, cranberry juice, sodas, bread, Nutella, peanut butter, nuts, kimchi, fresh fruits, cookies, crackers, chocolates, etc. My alcohol is not included with your stay, sorry.

- Guests can enter the house 24/7 during their stay (ie no curfew or designated quiet hours/lights out). Check-In starts at 3 pm but you can drop your bags off earlier. Check-Out is by 12 noon but you can leave your bags at the house for the rest of the day. Earlier Check-In or later Check-Out is possible depending on room availability.

- Discounts for guest(s) staying 7+ nights, booking far in advance (eg 60+ days out), travelling with kids, repeat (returning) guests &/or US military servicemembers (current or prior service). Send me an inquiry.

- I respect your privacy & personal space. I can sleep elsewhere in Vegas, to afford you maximum privacy & space, if your group has 7+ guests, or you want to pay a "total privacy surcharge" ($20+ per night) or whichever negotiable terms.

- For ideal comfort I suggest 1 - 2 guests per bedroom. To accommodate 13 guests (refer to photos) = 5 full-size beds with 2 guests per bed + 2 couches with 1 guest per couch + 1 black futon with 1 guest. So far the most people Chan's House has AirBnB accommodated: 6 adults = 5 guests + me (in Bedroom 4). So far the most people (eg my family members) my house has accommodated: 9 people = 6 adults + 3 kids.

  • Chan's house is truly a dream for any visitor to Vegas. Even though he was overseas throughout the duration of our stay, there was no problems at all with the accommodation arrangements. When people say "make yourselves at home" - that is exactly what you will experience staying here. Chan allows guests to use the things in his house, from the washer and dryer, laptop, DVD collection and the food in the fridge, further enhancing the experience. He even knocked off a portion of our fee for us to buy groceries - a pleasant gesture of goodwill. Pity we didn't manage to meet Chan in person. His house is a must stay if you are looking for great accommodation at a great price in Vegas.

  • Chan was an excellent host, really well organised, easy to communicate with and giving great information about the local area. The house is big, clean and has everything you could wish for when staying with airbnb. Highly recommended!

    Chan is a great host and the room was perfect. Had everything I needed and more. Location was also great. Next time I come to Vegas, I'll book again. Highly recommended!

  • Chan's House was perfect! Exactly as described, and Chan was hassle-free to deal with. I would definitely stay there again, and highly recommend Chan's House to anyone traveling to Vegas.

  • Chan is a great host who had lots of information to offer for things to do locally on and off the strip. The accommodations are very clean and organized. A much nicer place to stay than amongst the crowds on the strip.

  • Chan was a very personable, considerate and helpful host. He treated me as though I was a personal guest and a friend. The accommodations were very reasonable, clean, and spacious. The blinds do an excellent job of blocking the sunlight.

    I've been to Las Vegas three times before this, always staying in a hotel on or near the strip, This was far better. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. You get a sense of Las Vegas as a real city rather than a collection of hotels and casinos. The Chinatown neighborhood has lots of good places to eat. I had planned to get around by bike, but ended up renting a car - duh, it's Las Vegas. The house is clean and has lots of amenities. The price is reasonable. Chan has mastered the art of being an AirB&B host, which I know from personal experience is not easy. He has instructions all over the place - nothing left to chance. Although he was in Thailand when I was there, he kept in touch by texting and was able to resolve some minor issues....so minor that they weren't even issues from my point of view, but they were from his. Two thumbs up for Chan.

  • On reflection - it is difficult to believe that we were so fortunate to find accommodation like Chan's in Las Vegas. The house is located in a very quiet residential area of Las Vegas. It was so quiet - you could very easily oversleep in the morning. Facilities available to guests are too numerous to list, Kitchen, Internet, lounge and TV area, bathroom facilities - we had as much freedom in Chan's home as we do in our own and though Chan was not there when we arrived - everything promised (and more) was available to us. We hope to return to Las Vegas in the future and if we are unable to stay at Chan's - we will probably delay our visit until we can stay at Chan's. I can not over-emphasise the joy and pleasure of staying there - it was truly an experience of genuine comfort and homeliness. I would strongly recommend Chan's house to anyyone seeking first class accommodation in Las Vegas - Many thanks. Richard.

    Chan was an awesome host. What I really liked were the amenities available (plenty of food in the pantry and the fridge, internet access, TV and XBox, etc). I really felt like home at Chan's place. Chan was also nice enough to drive me to the supermarket and take me out for some dinner on the same day that I arrived. For those who plan on staying here, I would highly recommend renting a car (I got mine for $15/day). Of course, it makes it more convenient to get to the strip (which is a very easy drive by the way). But also, if you like Asian food, Chan's place is very close to all the Vietnamese/Korean/Chinese restaurants. Taking my friends to Korean BBQ buffet, eating a bowl of pho for $7, or just having some roast red pork late at night was more satisfying than eating Vegas buffets. Thanks, Chan, for a great visit. I'll be back!

  • Chan was a great host - ready to suggest options and help make for an interesting weekend in town. He was better prepared with recommendations and directions than any hotel, better because it was a list of places people in town go. Anyone can find the clubs on the Strip on their own. But he also knows where to find the deals if you want a half-price show or simply want to catch the free ones.
