* 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.

- 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.

- 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.
You and Chan
