Site Evaluations: A McKenna Property Management Benefit

The Purpose Behind Annual Site Evaluations

At McKenna Property Management, our dedication to providing exceptional living experiences goes beyond just words—it's ingrained in every aspect of our operations. One such crucial aspect is the required annual site evaluations we conduct for all of our properties. Mandatory as per our lease agreements, the annual site evaluation serves as an opportunity for us to assess the condition of the property and address any emerging issues promptly before the lease is renewed.


During the evaluation, which includes comprehensive interior and exterior inspections, the third-party evaluator will diligently examine various aspects of the property. From walls and floors to plumbing fixtures and appliances, no detail is overlooked. Below, we aim to shed light on why these evaluations play a vital role in upholding the standards of our properties and in our commitment to our clients.


Ensuring Property Integrity:

Rental properties are more than just a place to live; it's an investment in both our clients' and residents' well-being. By conducting annual site evaluations, we proactively identify any issues that may compromise the integrity of the property. By addressing these issues early, before they develop into major problems, we can help preserve the value of your rental property and ensure peace of mind.


Prioritizing Safety and Security:

Safety is our top priority. During site evaluations, we meticulously inspect various aspects of the property to ensure that safety measures are in place and operational. From checking smoke detectors to repairing broken windows, these evaluations help mitigate potential hazards and create a secure living environment for residents. By ensuring these issues are taken care of, we also protect the value of our clients' properties.


Enhancing Comfort and Convenience:

We understand the importance of a comfortable living space. Through site evaluations, we assess the functionality of appliances, HVAC systems, and other amenities to ensure they are operating optimally. By addressing minor issues that may otherwise go unreported, we strive to enhance the comfort and convenience of all of the properties under our management.


Preserving Aesthetic Appeal:

Site evaluations enable us to identify and address aesthetic concerns that may be affecting a property's appeal and potentially causing problems in the community, such as holes in walls or dented garage doors. By maintaining a well-kept and visually pleasing environment, both inside and out, we can foster a more comfortable atmosphere for residents and their neighbors.


Fostering Open Communication:

Client and resident feedback matters to us. Annual site evaluations provide an opportunity for open communication between residents and management, and transparency for clients. Whether it's discussing maintenance needs or exploring lease renewal options these evaluations foster collaboration, strengthening our relationship with residents and clients.


Annual site evaluations are a unique offer of McKenna Property Management for both our residents and clients. Through services like these, we are able to not only protect our clients' investments, but also ensure that we are offering safe, well-maintained homes to our residents. This delivers value to everyone involved and only serves to improve the property management experience.

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.

Las Vegas Parking Guide

May 27, 2025
If you’re a first-time visitor to Las Vegas, the idea of paying for parking might not be as big of a deal as it is to those of us who’ve been around for a while. Just a few years ago, it was practically unheard of to pay for parking on The Strip. Free parking was a standard expectation for both locals and casino guests alike. But times have changed, and many of the big casinos along the iconic Las Vegas Strip have started charging for parking. While we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not parking fees are justified (locals, we feel your pain), we’re here to guide you on where to park on the Las Vegas Strip. So, buckle up, and check out our list to see where you can park for free as a local! First three hours of self-parking are free for locals: • The Aria • The Bellagio • Caesar’s Palace • The Cosmopolitan • The Cromwell • The Excalibur • The Flamingo • The LINQ • Luxor • The MGM & Park MGM • Planet Hollywood • Wynn & the Encore Free Parking across the board • Rio • The Palms As a final tip when it comes to visiting the strip: Check and see if the casino does any sort of parking validation. A lot of times they will give you free parking if you spend a certain amount of money inside, are a guest (on a staycation) or are a certain tier level among their rewards programs. Remember, it never hurts to ask. If you're visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check with your hotel about whether parking and valet services are included when you book your room. It's a cost worth factoring into your trip planning!
