Spanish Palms
Where Caribbean Style Meets Las Vegas Living

Just a few minutes from the famed Las Vegas Strip, there is a resort community where serenity and sanctuary are a welcome respite from the excitement of the gaming world. At Spanish Palms, every day begins with a cool breeze, the rustling of palms, and the rising sun reflecting its warmth on a cascading waterfall. Hidden behind majestic guarded gates and nestled in mature landscaping, Las Vegas living takes on a decidedly Caribbean style.

Located at the corner of Hacienda and Rainbow Boulevard, Spanish Palms condominiums have the best of both worlds, and everything is just steps away. With the Four Seasons, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, New York, New York, Tropicana, and MGM just down the street, residents enjoy all the city has to offer. When the excitement of the day is over, they retreat to one of the only Vegas communities to combine luxury and location with the practicality of a gated entrance with an officer on duty 24-hours, and direct access garages.

When Kurt Haas, president of Ultimate Concrete, was looking to purchase a home, he had three things in mind: location, luxury, and lifestyle. He found it all at Spanish Palms. "I was looking for something other than a typical Vegas condominium. I wanted a home, and Spanish Palms is perfect for me. The location is ideal because I am traveling from site to site, or heading out of town to other jobs sites. From here, I have convenient access to The Strip, I-15, I-215, the airport, and every major business area."

Spanish Palms offers three unique floorplans: The Cabana (one-bedroom), The Islander (two-bedroom), and The Mediterranean, which is the three-bedroom plan that Kurt chose as home. Every floorplan includes a direct access garage that affords unparalleled convenience and security. Each garage has been completed, including epoxy floors, to complement the beauty of the interiors. According to Kurt, "You couldn't ask for more luxury. I have 1,222 square feet of living area, and a 504 square-foot garage!"

The upgrades begin in the entry where Travertine flooring meets deep pile carpeting. The gas fireplaces are also surrounded by Travertine tile, which brings a rich elegance to the living area. The nine-foot ceilings are accented by 4-inch designer baseboards and two-tone paint throughout. The gourmet kitchens are an entertainer's delight. Stainless steel appliances, deep sinks, upgraded faucets, and granite countertops rest on even more imported Travertine. "The kitchen made me want to cook," jokes Kurt. The amenities extended into the baths and bedrooms, too. The bathtubs are oversized and perfect for relaxing after a night out. The sinks, faucets, hardware, and light fixtures are all upgraded and standard, and once again, Travertine flooring is the choice. Master bedrooms boast huge walk-in closets, plush carpeting and ceiling fans that continue the cool outdoor breezes. Each home has a leisurely patio for relaxing and entertaining in the island-like setting.

The community includes two resort-style pools, a sparkling waterfall, picnic and playground areas, basketball and volleyball courts, a clubhouse with party room, full kitchen, fireplace and media room, business center with Internet access, copier and fax, and a 24-hour fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment. Soothing waterfalls greet you as you enter the clubhouse. Imported Travertine tile covers the floors, and full-story windows open to the beauty of the pool, the teak furniture, island kitchen, and tropical tiki huts.

Investors, too, are excited about Spanish Palms. Affordability, luxury and location make this a perfect investment opportunity. The community of 372 units, with only 252 units remaining for sale, was built across from Spanish Trails, a well-established high-end custom-home community in Las Vegas. The infrastructure and growth in the immediate area continues to expand, adding to the value, and this Spring Valley section of Southwest Las Vegas has enjoyed historically strong appreciation rates. Multiple high-value developments are under construction, including the Spring Valley Hospital, new medical building offices, four new banks, a credit union, upscale grocery stores, restaurants and retail with strong anchor tenants (Starbucks, Blockbuster, Albertson's). There are four schools within one mile of the property, and low crime rates support this as a safe neighborhood.

Attention to detail, with a flair for the luxurious, make Spanish Palms a popular home choice for residents, second-home owners and investors alike.
