I think my airfare was 300 bucks or something like that ( this is in 2002). I estimate it was like 700 the first month I stayed there, June 5, to July 5. Obviously, she got me a deal. She had better get me a good deal, I was Best Man at their wedding. Anyways, the 3rd day I was there I won a good chunk of money ( blackjack). That turned into getting hooked up with a Casino Host. She instantly upgraded me to a suit for the remaining month of my stay, as well as, took care of food and movies ( their room service food sucks). At the end of the month, I told her I was planning on staying for awhile and asked her how much it would cost me to stay another month.She quoted me at 40 during the week/ including Sunday and 70 for weekend nights. Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to their one of their jacuzzi rooms on floor 23. It's the top floor and a few times I was convinced a plane was going to fly through my window.
Plus, their jacuzzi tub is just a bigger bathtub with a couple shitty jets.They also put a fridge in my room. I think a microwave too? I can't remember if I had one in the regular room or it was just the suite? After the 3rd month she started getting a little pissy about keeping up my rate ( table game average bet). I was mostly spending my money in the sports book, so that doesn't help/hurt my rate. The last month I was there she told me that she would have to change to 65 during the week and 90 weekends the following month if I wasn't going to keep my average rate around 40 dollars per bet, 4 hours a day. I'm not exactly sure on the numbers, but something in that ballpark. I ended up moving out the opening night of the NFL.I ended up getting a great deal at Aladdin for a week, then to the Trop for the next month. At that point I started looking for a normal place to live. To make a short story longer, if you were going to stay for a month, especially with this economy, I am sure you could get a great deal for something like I received my second month ( maybe even better, who knows?), minus the food and movies.

Great story 
So, just to be sure I understand you, you paid $340 a week the second month ($40 a night during the week, $70 for Fri-Sat)?

Yes, It was around 1300 a month. Although, this was almost 9 years ago so I am not 100% sure on the exact numbers. I think I still have some of my hotel printouts in a suitcase somewhere. I will try to find them later as I am curious now myself. You might be able to get an even better deal. When I looked this past Feb, their rooms were going to for 30 bucks a night during the week and 55 on weekends during that month.In the early to mi 2000's Vegas was doing well. They were just breaking ground on the Wynn, adding a another level to the Fashion Show Mall, just started the Mono Rail on the Sahara end, etc. I know now LV has many more long term hotel ( 1 bedroom studios)than when I was out there that have full kitchens, cable TV, etc..Everything is included in the price. I stayed in a couple different ones and they were cool. I had all my food delivered from Albertson's, used the free local calls for my internet ( this is before broadband when dial up was King), took a cab to a Walmart and bought pots,pans and some dishes. I also had my Mom ship out my Playstation, bought an RF adapter and hooked it up to their TV. If you have a nice size bankroll or got a job out there, you can definitely make it work for you. Is moving out there something you're considering? Or, just something you are curious about since " you never know?"
