Buyer Due-Diligence Checklist
Practical, area-specific considerations to review before making an offer in CityCenter.
- 01Review high-rise HOA financial statements, capital reserve studies, and any history of special assessments.
- 02Confirm whether parking spaces are deeded, assigned, or valet-only, and verify additional vehicle policies.
- 03Check building rental restrictions — most high-rise towers strictly prohibit short-term Airbnb-style leasing and enforce 6 to 12 month minimum lease terms.
- 04Examine HOA dues to understand exactly what is included (e.g., water, gas, cable, concierges, pool/gym maintenance, building insurance).
- 05Evaluate unit orientation — north and east views overlook the Strip skyline, while west views offer mountain sunsets but heavier afternoon sun exposure.
- 06Inquire about pet weight restrictions, quantity limits, and dedicated pet walking relief areas within the building.
- 07Understand the distinction between residential-only towers (Veer) and condo-hotel or hotel-backed towers (Waldorf Astoria).
- 08Verify storage unit assignments and mechanical closet access if applicable to the unit floor plan.
