Unconventional sleeping arrangement???

Should probably try CouchSurfing.com first, but I thought a covers member may have a connection.  From Ohio, I'd like to make a bimonthly trip out to Vegas.  I'm looking for a home owner, or apartment mate that would be willing to allow me to stay on their couch or spare bed for 3 nights a month.  Ideal location would be within a 15 mile radius of the strip, and I'd pay $20 per night.  Most of my time would be at the MGM Grand, so I'm just looking for a place to sleep for 8 hours,  then back out into the limelight.   Not into alcohol, smoking, or hookers, so aside from the gambling, you'd be getting someone that is pretty vanilla in the other extracirricular activities of Sin City.    Any other ideas or leads to accomplish this?

 

come on man- pay the freight , get yourself a room --holy cow

I would, but I'm, "in it, to win it".

For $55 a WEEK you can get a room at a flophouse and meet plenty of people into drinking,smoking and hookers.

are u betting $5 parlays? if u cant afford a cheap motel room, dont go

Wow........you are a High Roller for sure.  Can I mail you a cheese sandwich?

Go once a month & stay here :

It's right down the street from MGM

That's not exactly right down the street from MGM. It's just over 2 miles by car. Walking would probably take an hour and if he took a bus he'd have to take two of them.

In relation to the strip it's more so behind Bally's Casino. It does provide easy access to the strip from the bus station and the 108 bus stop is directly across the street for easy access back to the airport.

I can't offer any assistance on your housing search, but I do have a friend who drives a shuttle on the strip and he only charges $2 for passengers willing to ride in the luggage compartment. Drop off will be in the back by the garbage container to avoid any embarrassment

South point usually has rooms for 60 or under. Not to far from MGM. 

What are you in town to do?

Only do some sports betting, sit down for some hold'em, and do a buffet.  Usually @ the MGM.

Check out Bob Stupak's Vegas World.  It sounds like the kind of place you are looking for.

Youre a bum no offense

Don't check VegasWorld unless you have time machine, it's gone. I know this is an option with GenX but this ain't some college town and its possible to spend $60 for 3 nights but it isn't somebodys living room you'll be spending nights.How you getting from Ohio? Grayhound? driving? I knew a guy who slept in his van all winter parking in the Sahara parking lot,moved every other day. Low rent enough for ya?

Thanks for all the imput.  I found a nice Christian lady on CouchSurfing, letting me stay for free.

not exactly what I would call a classic vegas story but--good luck

She hot?

 

If you don't have the money to stay at a cheap hotel, what makes you think that you have a good enough bankroll neccessary to actually have a chance to beat the house? Why not just go to your local casino and make enough money to go to Vegas (where you don't have to depend on no one but yourself)  if you are a good gambler (not saying you aren't, I don't know you, but I would hope you are if you are going to Vegas often). I have a friend who's dad lives close to Wheeling and over the last six months or so he has won enough to buy a new car and still is up $7000+, he plays blackjack, starts off with a couple hundred plays for a while as soon as he is up $100, 200 or so he quits and goes home, he doesn't play long enough to give it back, he is retired it is just something to do, he doesn't need the money and could win more if he wanted to. 

 

the hotels downtown are 25/night on hotwire all the time
