We sit in a Vegas 24.1 last Feb at a RV show. I liked it, however, we were not all that keen about the rear bed. Not that we have actually slept in a Vegas bed, but our experience from owing several boats with multi-cushions that fit together to make a bed is that they always end up scooting out of position.

One of our boats even had anti-skid strips on the bottoms of the cushions (that fit on a table top), and it helped a bit, but the cushions still managed to scoot out on a nightly basis.

My wife immediately noticed the Vegas sectional bed characteristic and it would be a deal breaker for her for sure, as a single mattress usually much more comfortable.

At least though, there are two large human-sized sections on the Vegas 24.1, so scooting sections might not be that bad.

One solution though is to use a memory-foam topper, which will help keeping the bed sections in place through the night. However, then you have to find a place for the topper.

All in all, I think the Vegas is designed more as a day-coach and just an occasional overnighter (especially the 25.1), and their literature hints at this (taking the RV to the beach, stadium, etc). And the sectional bed layout seems to confirm this purpose.

Of course you could use the coach as a serious overnighter, but methinks replacing the cushions with a single mattress would be a fairly quick "upgrade".

At any rate, if you plan on overnighting significantly, the rear bed configuration is something you will at least want to consider.

Otherwise there is a lot to like about the Vegas.
