Painting Condo-Hotel Units Near the Las Vegas Strip

How condo-hotel ownership differs

In a condo-hotel you own the unit, but the building operates as a hotel. Properties such as the Signature at MGM Grand, Trump International, Palms Place, The Platinum and Vdara were sold, at least in part, as individually owned units. Owners often place the suite in a rental program run by the property, which means guests may be booked into it on dates the owner does not control day to day. Our guide to the CityCenter and Harmon Avenue towers describes several of these buildings.

Owner use, rental use and blocked dates

Painting needs the unit empty for a stretch of days. Owners usually block those dates through the rental program first. We schedule from the dates you secure, not the other way round.

Hotel finish standards

Some rental programs have their own finish and color standards for units in the pool. If yours does, send us the specification and we will paint to it. If you are not sure, ask the program before choosing a color.

Working inside a hotel operation

A condo-hotel has guests in the halls at all hours and a back-of-house that runs on its own schedule. Contractors usually come in through a service entrance or loading area, check in with security or engineering, and use a service elevator. We do not assume how any one property handles this; we ask the owner relations or management contact what is required and supply the paperwork they request.

Insurance and contractor paperwork

Expect to be asked for a certificate of insurance and contact details for the crew. We send them in the format the property asks for.

Quiet, tidy, out of sight

Materials are brought up in the service elevator, kept inside the suite, and taken out the same way. Nothing is stored or cleaned in guest corridors.

Before booking, it helps to know how your property handles contractors. Some owners already have that answer from earlier work in the suite; others ask owner relations for the first time. Either way, we take what the property gives us and work to it, and we never use guest elevators or lobbies for materials. The Signature at MGM Grand page shows how this plays out in one building.

Typical condo-hotel scopes

Suites in rental use take more wear than a residence: luggage marks on walls, scuffed door frames and touch-up paint from housekeeping that no longer matches. A repaint between rental seasons resets the unit. Larger condo-hotel suites and penthouses are quoted like any full tower interior. Owners who never visit can combine this with our remote owner updates.

Wallcovering and feature walls

Some condo-hotel suites were finished with vinyl wallcovering or a feature wall. Painting over wallcovering needs a different prep, so tell us what the unit has when you send photos.

Getting a quote

Send the property name, the suite type and size, your blocked dates and a few photos. We reply with a written quote and the paperwork the property is likely to ask for. Answers to common scheduling and payment questions are on the FAQ page, and the estimate request form takes two minutes.

Owners of a residence in a full-time tower should use the tower interior service instead.
