Looking for a place to stay in vegas...

Alright so i will be graduating in May and plan on spending at least a month or so in vegas starting early to mid june and am looking for a place to call home. Looking for CHEAP extended stay motels near the strip ( will not be taking my car) or maybe renting a room from a fellow member if possible. Convenience is number one for me since i will be taking the bus/walking to and from the casinos. Can provide all my info and references to anyone that may have a room. So who has taken extended trips to vegas? where did u stay? how much a month? what does that price include? etc. thanks in advance guys

thanks for the link but those arent the kinda hotels im looking for, basically looking for cheap options that i can rent by the week or month for super cheap, i think i have found basically what i am looking for here Las Vegas Apartments - Rent Studios, Furnished, Cheap > Siegel Suites but would still like some input from people that have spent a lot of time in vegas, or if someone from here lives in vegas and may know of a room for rent or something like that.

Siegle suites across from unlv, is decent, safe enough for men, and a walkable distance to the strip. I've stayed there many times If you can get another guy or couple to stay with you the two bedrooms have individual baths with double sinks, walk in closests king beds wi fi cable washer and dryer full kitchen and fully furnished and all inclusive for about 1200 a month total. That's if you pay per week.

the 2 bedrooms are that much? someone on another forum told me they ran about 700 a month at some of their properties. I think i am leaning towards the Bonanza Property which from what i am told is basically the strip the studios run under 700 a month. do you know anything about the bonanza property? like if its clean, safe, etc?

www.craigslist.com/lasvegas or the imperial palace is cheap but ewwww would not stay there. i like mandalay bay its smells like coconuts and is hooked up with 2 other casinos so its kinda like 3 casinos in one. gl sir

It sounds familiar but I'm not sure where it is. If I saw it on a map I could tell you more. more than likely it isn't in a great area but if your bringing your own car it will be fine. The studios are quite a bit less and look more like a regular hotel. The two bedrooms look like small but nice apartments.

Bonanza is the ghettooooooo, don't do that. I'm from Vegas, and trust me it isn't worth it. The el cortez (hotel/casino) downtown on fremont st might give you a cheap rate if you call and ask for a monthly rate. You'll probably want an extended stay on paradise road if you go that route, look up budge suites (not sure if that's what they're still called). Also, where do you plan on playing most of the time? That makes a big difference.

Where is UNLV compared to the strip? i plan on spending most of my time in the casinos on the strip i will really just be using my motel or whatever to sleep and shower etc. where is paradise road? i am really unfamiliar with vegas, thats why i made this thread so early so i can learn as much as i can and make the best decision. but it seems like this is gonna be real easy since ur gonna let me crash on ur couch, problem solved. lol any input youd could give me about some of the extended stay places that aren't in terrible locations would be appreciated.

Ok, so just saw your bump so I guess you're still looking at different options, so I'll go ahead and answer your post above. UNLV is pretty close to the strip, If you're on the west side of UNLV it's a long walk to the strip, if you're on the east side you'll want to catch the bus. Paradise is a road that runs parallel to the strip with some extended stay places. You'll want to be careful with where you stay in that area. I used to live just to the east of UNLV, and it wasn't bad, but there are some areas between Maryland Pkwy and Paradise that wouldn't be the safest walking around with large amount of cash at random times of the night. If you're staying in that area you'll probably be catching the Tropicana or Flamingo bus to get to the strip. Those buses are scheduled to run every 30 min at peak times, and once an hour the rest of the time, however when I was riding the bus those often just didn't show up or were running way behind schedule. There's a budget suites on tropicana across from the Orleans. There's some good local action there, so it'd be worth checking out, and it's the closest extended stay I know of close to the strip without actually being on the strip. They might have one further south on on the strip past all the casinos.
