American West has something to “brag” about. We have introduced a new, innovative home design to the Las Vegas area. 

The Single Story with BRAG space is a unique new design that offers homebuyers the livability of a single story home but also features a BRAG space that offers plenty of options of what to do with the additional living area. The unique BRAG space can be left as one large bonus room with unlimited possibilities like a theatre room, billiards table and storage or it can be built with a guest suite with spacious walk-in closet, large full bathroom, game room, and study area which gives homebuyers a completely private living area in the home. 

The main living space includes formal living and dining rooms, a family room, large gourmet kitchen with dining island that can seat up to 10, master suite and two additional bedrooms. 

The Single Story with BRAG space is being offered at three of our communities located in the southwest part of the Las Vegas Valley.

When Danny Welsh and his wife Tricia were ready to upgrade to a larger new home, it made perfect sense that they would purchase from American West. After all, American West built Danny’s first two homes and Danny is the company’s sales manager. 

“We had briefly considered looking at resale homes after hearing stories about incredible deals, but we quickly realized the best deal for a quality built home, our dream home, was right under our nose. American West offers the highest quality product, a builder warranty and incredible customer service that you absolutely will not find in a resale home,” said Welsh.  

Danny and Tricia chose the 3,019-square-foot Shea floor plan in Kensington Estates which is priced at $298,500. 

“It was a goal of mine to live in Kensington Estates located in Highlands Ranch. This is an amazing community in an amazing location and it was the right time to get to this point,” said Welsh. “American West builds semi-custom new homes. I got to pick everything I wanted from the homesite to the exterior to how the home sits on the homesite. This is the kitchen we want, the floor plan we want, the bedrooms we need. It just clicked.” 

The two-story Shea floor plan features four bedrooms and a game room upstairs, a perfect fit for Danny, Tricia, their two-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, and 6-month-old son, Brixton. 

“Both kids get their own room and can use the game room for a play area,” said Welsh. “Plus, we have a guest room for visiting family.” 

As the youngest of eight kids, Danny needed a floor plan that could hold a crowd. 

“The home has a giant gourmet kitchen with a huge island. It blends into the spacious family room. It can accommodate a lot of people. We have Sunday dinners and huge Christmases. A simple Sunday dinner easily turns into 45 people,” said Welsh. “The living room and formal dining room also helps to accommodate our family members.” 

It was Danny’s family, his brother and father, who encouraged him to purchase his first home from American West before Danny worked for the company. 

“My brother and father believed in doing business locally. American West is a locally- owned family business. The owner lives in Las Vegas, his family lives in Las Vegas, all the employees live in Las Vegas. As a company, they support the community and spend their money in Las Vegas,” said Welsh. 

It made Danny’s first purchase an easy decision.

 “I walked into my first American West community, saw the house I wanted to buy and left. I never looked at another community, another house, never looked at anything else,” said Welsh. “They also made the whole buying experience so easy.” 

Eventually, Danny applied for a job with the company. “I applied three times before I was hired. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. I just knew I wanted to work for American West.” 

Danny has been with American West for eight years. 

“Unlike public builders, if the Las Vegas market isn’t working, American West isn’t going to pull out and focus on another city in another state. American West makes Las Vegas work because it is their home,” said Welsh. “We’re local people. We have numerous employees who have been with the company for more than 20 years. We have father and son teams selling homes. Every employee is dedicated to making the dream of a new home come true for the families of Las Vegas. ” 

According to Danny, it’s American West’s quality, trustworthy reputation that keeps the company strong. 

“We see a lot of repeat and referral business. We have people who are on their third home and they are buying from the same sales person. Their experience with American West has been so positive, when they’re ready for an upgrade they simply come back to us to see what’s new,” said Welsh. 

And Danny would know: as a buyer and employee. 

American West is currently selling homes in eight communities in the Las Vegas valley. The single-story,  two-story and split-level homes range from 1,216 to 4,770 square feet and feature three to six bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, game rooms, optional studies, optional second master bedrooms and even included elevators, depending on the floor plan. Homes start at $178,500. The builder’s collection of beautiful home designs reflect American West’s tradition of architectural excellence, quality construction, innovative floorplans, pool sized backyards and superior customer service. 

American West has been building homes in Southern Nevada for more than 25 years.

All American West homes include a 10-year Structural Assurance Plan and are built to NV Energy Plus standards. Certified Energy Plus New Homes are built to exceed the energy efficiency of a standard home by 30 percent, double ENERGY STAR® standards.
