[DawnToDusk]

This post may be a bit to early. If it is sorry. Maybe it can serve as an imformative post that can be made a post in the FAQ later. Needless to say though I am making this post because of my friends.

Me and two buddies are interested in living in Vegas during the WSOP. We are big poker players and are just getting out of college so are looking for a way to reward ourself. One is a big game player and the other plays in the middle limits. I myself play in the lower limits.

I decided to take charge of "the project" to get organized for possibly living in Vegas. If I left it in charge of the other two it would never get done as they aren't the most organized and driven of people.

I was curious about what tips you had for finding a place, moving in, etc. down in Vegas. I've had experience house hunting and stuff for living situations for college but am making the assumption that it is going to be slightly different for Vegas, especially during the WSOP.

So I guess I will fire off some questions and see what you guys have to say from your experience.

My first and foremost question is what neighboorhoods should be looked into for housing during the summer and what time frames should we be looking at for getting that house? I'm sure that there will be places available around all of Vegas (just guessing) but I'm sure some would be better to live in due to such things a logistics (getting to cardrooms with ease), safety (wouldn't want a house to get broken into, mugged, etc.) and quality vs. price (not looking for a mansion or anything but would prefer a place without roaches in it, etc.). Also how fast are these places booking? Should I be looking to make my looking to make reservations/bookings/putting down payments March? Sooner? Later?

Can you find places that are furnished? I'm not looking for the whole kit and kaboodle here. It would be nice to have a kitchen table and a bed though.

Transportation Is transportation off the strip farily reliable? I'm talking about the bus system and stuff here. What about biking? Would it be silly of me to bike ot cardrooms?

I got to go lift with my buddy since he just showed up at the gym, but I will post some more questions in two hours after my session.



Thanks for your help!
