Texas couple bets on The Ogden

According to their driver’s licenses, Ken and Peg Woody are Texas residents, but at heart, these new retirees are Las Vegans enjoying their second home at The Ogden downtown.

“Ken and I met at a park in Midland, Texas, in the 1980s where we both lived; he was running the trails while I was walking them, and eventually, we fell in love and married in 1998,” Peg said. “He was the perfect father to my two children from my previous marriage, and we have so much in common, including our sense of adventure, travel and the thrill of trying our luck at the gaming tables.”

The couple first visited Las Vegas to celebrate Ken’s 50th birthday. Before that trip, neither Ken nor Peg had been to the Entertainment Capital of the World. They were immediately attracted to the city’s gaming scene, vibrant entertainers and its selection of world-class restaurants. Soon, their visits evolved from four to five times a year to nearly once a month.

“We often stayed at The Golden Nugget, and after a few trips, we became very acquainted with the staff, the restaurants and the neighborhood that surrounded the hotel,” Peg said. “Ken started talking about wanting to move to Las Vegas a couple years ago, but I wasn’t sold on uprooting our entire lives. Last fall, Ken decided to explore the living options in downtown Las Vegas, stumbled upon The Ogden and instantly fell in love. Making The Ogden our second home made perfect sense for us.”

Peg came to Las Vegas last November for a presentation of The Ogden’s various floor plans with Ken, and it didn’t take long before they were inking an incredible deal for their one-bedroom “dream” home.

“Everything about living at The Ogden suited our lifestyles beautifully,” Peg said. “It’s within walking distance of our favorite casinos, The Container Park, our favorite restaurant — Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse at Golden Nugget and unique art galleries. And when we want to visit Strip attractions like Brooklyn Bowl and The High Roller at The LINQ, it’s only a short drive.”

Peg and Ken hope to have their two sons and their families visit Las Vegas soon. They said they can’t wait to show off their new home, which features majestic mountain views in addition to a vibrant location in the heart of downtown.

Homes at The Ogden range from a one-bedroom, 815-square-foot residence for $229,000 to a three-bedroom, plus den 2,044-square-foot home for $629,000. Residences feature a modern design aesthetic in keeping with the architecture and the lifestyle vibe, private balconies and expansive views of downtown Las Vegas, the Strip and the mountains that frame the valley.

The Ogden’s single-story, open floor plans offer flex spaces that can serve as a home office, den or yoga room, extra bedrooms for accommodating multi-generational family and guests, and spacious windows that fill interiors with natural light.
