Joan and Melvin Jensen, residents of Hawaii, purchased a home at Borgata, a condominium complex in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley.
"When we decided to buy a second home, we knew we wanted it to be somewhere on the West Coast. We really enjoy taking trips to Las Vegas and decided it was the best place to make that purchase. We plan to visit there as often as we can. We looked at around four to five condominium communities before deciding to buy at Borgata," Joan Jensen said.

"We decided on Borgata because of the appealing upgrades and we thought that it was more tastefully designed. The developer was also offering a great incentive where we got a 2 percent rebate toward closing."
There are four floor plans offered with prices starting in the mid-$100,000s.
The Jensen's purchased the Callisto floor plan that has 947 square feet and includes two bedrooms and two baths.
"We decided on the Callisto floor plan because there were several things we really liked about it, including the crown molding feature and the fact that it has a lot of windows. The condo is very bright with natural light. There is also a great flow to the kitchen layout and the whole place has a very open feeling," Jensen said.
There are three other floor plans offered at the complex.
The Ambrose floor plan has 717 square feet and includes one bedroom and one bath. The Geneva plan offers 994 square feet that includes two bedrooms and two baths. The Marcellus plan is 1,170 square feet and includes three bedrooms and two baths. The community features a Mediterranean-style design. Standard in all units are crown molding, window blinds, and 4-inch baseboards. Kitchens feature raised-panel cabinets, wine racks, brushed-nickel fixtures and hardware, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances. All homes have a private terrace. Select plans offer tile flooring.
"Borgata is in a location that we really like," Jensen said. "It's close to the Strip and very convenient to a lot of places that are important to us, including the airport. We also liked the community security at the complex and other things like the pool and health room. And, the affordable pricing helped a lot."
Other amenities include barbecue areas, resort-style pools and spas, courtyard, clubhouse with a lounge and theater room, fitness center, and a business center. The grounds feature palm trees, water features and mature landscaping.
The gated complex provides assigned covered parking.
Borgata is located at 4400 S. Jones Blvd., between Tropicana Avenue and Flamingo Road.
The sales office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
