2. 4-5 days to save on cleaning fees and stuff. Yes 30-35 is my range. I dont pay anymore than that. An apartment is in the plans down the road. From what I've search $1,100 a month for a decent place in a safe area. I havent looked into the lease options but what you stated is probably true. 6 months you pay more. I am enjoying the Airbnb stuff.
3. Still doable without a car and here is what I'd do. Uber or take the bus to the strip via Venetian area. From there you have Wynn, Venetian, mirage, Caesars, casino royale (will hill) and treasure island and westgate via the monorail for betting options. Some walking and hustle is needed but if you have the mindset that you can save a few hundred dollars a day by getting the best number this is worth the work. Plus the added benefit of some exercise doesnt hurt. Throw in you get comps for betting at westgate and Caesars there is some free food as a bonus.
4. I havent looked at the extended stay options but driving around I dont like the looks of those places. Rough looking apartments in rough areas.
5. I havent used the bus system since I've been here but did in previous trips and what you said is true. It is a cheap way to travel but you pay in time. If you are good with your time in terms of leaving extra early to account for delays then it's an option. Taking a bus from summerlin would be a nightmare. 1.5-2 hours on a bus instead of a 20 minute uber is not in my schedule.
I take it from your questions that there is a seed in your mind of giving it a shot. Maybe I'm reading your wrong but that's my read.
What are your thoughts?[/QUOTE]
1. When you say $1100 a month for a decent place in safe area, this obviously means not furnished right? Also when you say $1100 you mean a 1 bedroom? So how much does a 2bedroom cost then? I always thought vegas rent was cheap etc. Thus wouldn't like a 2bdroom be around $1200 or so? So you can't find a 1 bedroom for $800?
2. How long have you been staying at airbnbs for since you started doing this? You don't find it stressful to move every 5 days etc? So basically you keep everything in your apartment or car right? Also i assume everytime you rent, its always a room in someone's house or apartment right? Thus renting an apartment would cost at least 60/day minimum right?
3. Would you say its possible to find places where you take a bus to the strip though in many areas? Or only in a few? Do you know what are decent neighborhoods where you could rent a room or apartment where it doesn't take more than say 35 minutes each way to get to the strip? I know venetian, wynn, bellagio are all along the strip etc.
4. Well i heard of extended stay places and budget suites i heard is not good. But i did hear like extended stay america could be decent etc. But those still cost at least $1300 a month right?
5. I been to vegas years ago. I stayed there for a few months. I basically stayed on the strip during the weekdays and then downtown in the weekends. It was such a hassle having to check in and check out etc and i definitely would have preferred if i stayed in an extended stay place instead. Thus if i go there again, i would either rent at extended stay place, or even rent a room from someone. Moving and not being able to cook sucks etc.
6. Are you planning to find a place soon? The thing is since you plan to be there for a while, i'm curious why not find a place to stay where you are there at least a month etc? Are there many 3 month options etc?
7. Do you generally just keep the cash you have on you or in the airbnb? Obviously you aren't going to the bank to deposit/withdraw as that would be a hassle having to drive there etc. Where would you put your cash? Or you just keep it on you always? Now if you keep it in airbnb, you have to worry about theft etc. Like if someone has like 5k or 10k or more etc, you obviously would prefer to keep it somewhere where you can access it. Do you have money in those vegas betting apps? If you do, then you basically can keep the cash there right? That way you don't carry much money with you? But if you use them to deposit/withdraw everyday and make wagers, they don't care? Example such as you want to take out $1000 to play poker. Then after you play poker, you put back $1000 a bit later. Like say your cantor gaming sportsbetting account etc? But as long as you give wagers at the sportsbook, that is fine?
