Is This The Most Amazing Vacation Rental In Vegas?

When it comes to finding a vacation home rental in Las Vegas, many people look for something out of the ordinary. Instead of the standard home with places to cook and to sleep, many Vegas visitors want their vacation rental to enhance the visit and to allow them to experience something beyond what they may typically experience. The thinking is, "Why leave all the fun at the strip? Why can't our vacation home be just as much fun?". This is why we are always looking to find homes that are unique and uniquely situated to deliver an experience that is convenient to all the fun Vegas offers, but also offers its own amenities and features that make it a destination unto itself. And when it comes to delivering on those things, our vacation rental The Sedona Estate is exactly what the doctor ordered for just such an occasion.

Two Acres Of Private Space
It's simply unheard of to find this much private space in Las Vegas anymore and they do not build them like this one. This home is all about playing like a Las Vegas bigwig and having everything to show for it. Six bedrooms four bathrooms and space space space! You simply will not believe how there is to do and enjoy in this incredible home. Not only does the home offer plenty to do inside, but you'll enjoy your own massive and completely private swimming pool, but you'll also have your own private regulation sized tennis court as well. Amazing!

Beyond all this is an open fire pit and a very large gazebo for entertaining outdoors. There is ample space on the property for guests to find privacy and for up to 13 guests to enjoy space of their own.
Want Some Strip Excitement?
One of the best features of the home is its proximity to the Las Vegas Strip. Even though you have almost two acres of privacy and are located in a quiet family oriented neighborhood, the Sedona Estate is only a short drive to the center of the Strip. The most exciting and well known casinos are literally just down the road.

This home is available to book now. We recommend claiming your dates well in advance as the home is likely to be booked solid throughout the year. This will be especially true around summer vacation time when the World Series of Poker comes to town and all the vacation homes in Vegas become super popular and pricey. We recommend booking at least 90 days in advance. For best luck getting your dates, be ready to book six months in advance or be ready to move your dates.

As always, Happy Traveling!

WSOP Housing - Renting Homes for World Series of Poker Lodging

Here it comes! The rush to book the best available homes for WSOP is about to get underway. If you're one of the many thousands of participants coming to Las Vegas for the annual World Series of Poker, then you are probably also one of the potential customers for a home to rent for WSOP. Fear not! We are here to help. Below you will find some of the best ways to secure of good home for the tournament, and some of the really poor ways to get a "good" deal.

What If I Don't Mention WSOP?

Las Vegas is a place where deal making is king. Probably nowhere else in the world, except maybe Hong Kong and Wall Street, has the art of negotiation been mastered as it has in Vegas. So keep that in mind when you come looking for a nice home to rent for WSOP. Owners and vacation rental management companies know well and good that the tournament is the big money making period of the year. Don't expect to hoodwink any naive owners to get a low price. It's not going to happen. They know very well why you are calling about a six week booking that starts June 1st. You'll be one of many calls they get exactly the same dates. See what we mean? Be realistic with your expectations and don't start off your search assuming we wont know why you are calling.

Where Should I Rent A Home For WSOP?

As usual, the World Series of Poker is going to be held at the Rio Casino Hotel. You will want to rent a home for WSOP that is as close to the Rio as possible. The best choices are going to put you within 10 to 15 minutes of the event. The worse choices will put you as far as 45 minutes away depending on the day of the week. Remember, you are here for about 6 weeks. We recommend homes in Southern Highlands, Green Valley and Henderson as well as Summerlin and Spring Valley on the west side. All of those areas are either close to begin with or have great access to the event via major highways and boulevards.

How Much Should I Pay For Good WSOP Lodging?

The answer to that question is really up to you. There is a great list of homes to rent for WSOP on our website that already includes everything in the prices. You can see up front what you will pay for your rental, how far the home is from the tournament, the size of the home, the capacity and number of bedrooms. You can also preview each home on our website and book directly by calling when you are ready. All rentals for WSOP housing must be booked over the phone due popularity of the period and demand for homes  We expect a complete sell out as usual.

Good luck in your search. Visit us and call today to make the whole thing easy!

When To Find Great Summer Vacation Values In Las Vegas

Here it comes! Can you feel it yet? Summer is approaching! The scent of coconut oil and palm butter will soon fill the air and coat the surface of Las Vegas pools once again. Visitors are starting to plan their summer vacation in Las Vegas now, and getting ready to reserve a special vacation home just for the occasion. Hopefully one that has a really nice pool for the hot days and nights in this desert paradise. If you happen to be one of those visitors, here are a few things to keep in mind when booking your vacation home rental in Las Vegas.

Book Dates After July 15th.

If you're looking to get the best possible rates on good vacation homes, it is better to wait until after July 15 for your visit. This is because many of the vacation homes in Las Vegas are going to be booked for participants in the World Series of Poker for all of June and the first half of July. Because of this busy period, many homes will be expensive to book or simply unavailable.

Be Careful Who You Book With

Take some time to check the credentials of the owner or company you are booking with. Vacation rental fraud is unfortunately common in Las Vegas and you could end up without your home at the last minute. One common ruse is for an owner to take a short booking for their home, and then take a longer one if that happens to come along later on. This leaves you, the original renter without the home you booked and back at square one for accommodations. You'll know you've been had when they say "water damage" is the reason they have to cancel.

In short, be careful who you book with and be sure to look at later in summer for the best deals. As always, we hope you have a wonderful vacation in Las Vegas. We want you to make the most of it!

Las Vegas Event Locations

Looking to provide a new solution for an ever present problem, Las Vegas Event Locations has opened a new website to showcase the best private home solutions available for events in Las Vegas. By combining the best available homes in one easy location, and by adding the expertise and experience of Las Vegas concierge and event planning services, this is a website that really dials into the need rather than how to spend a lot of money.

Las Vegas is a place where the choices for events are as varied as the people who come here. Just a quick glance at the landscape reveals one inescapable fact, most of the advertised solutions are both expensive and confining. In fact many of the strip casinos almost act like the resent your business. Their solutions are generic and utilitarian and many of their rules are dictatorial.

Las Vegas Event Locations helps people avoid these problems by using solutions that are away from the Strip, and yet close enough to be convenient. Excellent solutions that not only offer tremendous costs savings and the flexibility of using your vendors and entertainment, but also provide character and uniqueness as well. Check their new website before your Las Vegas event and create something truly unique and memorable.

An Amazing Year Ahead For Las Vegas

We've been feeling it for quite some time now. Months maybe. There is something in the air and it feels really good. It's that feeling that change is coming, and it's change we can all appreciate. Las Vegas, like the rest of the country and much of the world, has been under the pall of slow economy for several years now. And although our particular industry, FUN!, is never completely our of style. Still, nobody spends as much or feels as free to enjoy themselves when money is tight and good jobs are hard to come by.

Now with 2012 here, it seems as though the air is changing. Here and in other places too. Las Vegas just enjoyed one of its biggest New Years Eve celebrations ever. Caesars Palace had so many bookings that they opened their new tower months in advance to accommodate the guests. And not only is occupancy up, room rates are too. The crux of all this is that there has been a steady increase in visitors to Las Vegas over the last few months, and they are bringing along more money to spend.

This is a resilient town with a long history of good times and bad. Las Vegas is legendary as both a place of new beginnings and sad endings as well. Movies and novels have told the stories for years. Those of us who live here know all too well the cycles of life and the ebb and flow of our living. And now it looks like the flow is towards the positive again. We are all very excited to see what happens here in the next year. We are ready for it and we know you are too!

Happy New Year from Las Vegas Retreats. We hope 2012 will be your best year ever and we wish you great success and the best of luck in Las Vegas.

The Guide to Family Friendly Las Vegas

For many people coming to Las Vegas, there is the additional headache of what to do with the kids when you are here. Around the world, this is known as an adult Disneyland, not the one that was made for families. And yet over the years Las Vegas has worked to broaden its appeal to a wider market that includes families with children of all ages.

Since the original boom times of the 50's and 60's, Las Vegas has always been a place where adults came to be adults. Much of that included leaving the kids back home, and having a little R and R that included gambling and drinking and maybe some smoking too.

Oh, who are we kidding??? Everybody smoked back then! But these days parents are looking for a different Las Vegas. One that is more suitable for the whole family. They can find it too!

Have You Heard What Wayne Newton Is Doing To His House?

Las Vegas is one of those places where stars do amazing things with their houses. It's been a tradition in the desert for the rich and famous to have extravagant tastes for homes here, ever since...well...ever. And certainly no star has done more with their Las Vegas property here than Wayne Newton. With everything from penguins to arabian houses, from the classic "Whitehouse" looking mansion to the on site private jet, Wayne has managed to capture the essense of what it means to be rich and famous in Las Vegas.

And now Mr Las Vegas (as the Wayne is known around here) has decided that all that amazing opulence is too much to keep to himself. He has decided to turn his entire estate into a Graceland style tour, complete with penguin petting zoo and a view of the private jet. Soon Las Vegas visitors will be able to see all of it for themselves, and catch a small glimpse of the star's somewhat private lifestyle.

Wayne Newton is a long time resident here, having moved to Las Vegas after his stardom boomed in the sixties. Modeling his act after the likes of Frank and Elvis, Wayne became a Las Vegas legend with his hard working life dedicated to performing on stage. His performances are not only the stuff legends are made of, but they also number in the thousands!

No doubt this will be interesting to watch. As the development continues and Wayne continues to be a powerful force in Las Vegas, he has been able to secure the approvals and right of way to do almost everything he has asked for. Even moving the private jet from McCarran airport to his own backyard and buying the property across the road for parking. This project IS happening. If that there is no doubt. We're hoping it will be a great success. Las Vegas could us one right about now.

Happy Travels from Las Vegas Retreats!

The Difference Between The Best Deal And The Best Value

Everyone wants to get the most bang for the buck. This is always the case. But this becomes especially true when times are tough. The incentive to squeeze the most value from every dollar becomes a first priority. But just as always, there is danger lurking amongst the various methods people use to find the best deals. When the priority shifts to "lowest price" then all the potential pitfalls rear their ugly heads and more often than not a good deal turns into a regrettable compromise.

Everyone is subject to overlooking the obvious once in a while. When we focus solely on lowest price then we become blind to other very important factors. For example, lets say you're comparing different five bedroom vacation rentals. One is listed at $399 per night plus a cleaning fee while another is listed at only $299 per night and the owner is waving the cleaning fee. That's a savings of over $300 or more for only a 3 night stay. So you opt for the lowest price, since the homes look similar anyway and start imagining the additional money you can throw away on slots.

When you arrive at the vacation rental, the first thing you notice is the Strip is not very close. The owner said it was "about 15 minutes away" but he neglected to mention that the the traffic is usually pretty bad in this direction, so that's actually closer to 25 minutes. Especially right when you want to go. And there are no taxis way out here.

As you look over the home, you begin to see why there was no cleaning fee. There was little or no cleaning done. It looks like the last guests did the dishes and washed the towels themselves, but there is still dust and the floor is dirty. The bathrooms need a scrubbing. Bad!

The backyard is a real adventure. It appears that lawn maintenance is done annually. The tall dead grass helps to hide some of the trash and cigarette butts, so that's good. The pool was cleaned fairly recently and the water is somewhat clear, but the barbecue looks like a science project. It is also quite apparent that pest control has been sacrificed to give you a good deal, as pigeon evidence is everywhere and the scampering red beetles on pool deck make this all too clear.

Now you might be laughing at all this and think this is an unrealistic scenario. But these stories are based on actual complaints we hear from the public all the time. It is quite simple to understand actually. Vacation rentals cost money to operate and maintain. You cannot do it well or even correctly if you keep giving everything away. Homeowners who are in distress will bend their standards because they are in distress. You risk being a victim if you fall for the trap.

It is so easy to overlook the elements that make up a great vacation. Ideally you wont even have to think about them. But you will know for sure when they are missing, and the money you saved will come back to haunt in other ways. We recommend that you don't waste your money on unrealistic prices and deals that are too good to be true. Your vacation is not worth the risk of saving a few dollars for giving up the good time you really want. Be smart! Shop for a great Las Vegas vacation rental that offers great value and do not sacrifice for mere dollars! You will be glad you did.

Top Five Las Vegas Vacation Home Rentals Questions

Throughout the world you will find vacation rentals in almost any reasonably popular tourist destination. From London and Paris to Tahiti and Australia, vacation homes are available as an alternative to hotels. And for many people (and places too), the questions are the same. How much? How far? And of course, is it available? This is also true in Las Vegas. But in Las Vegas there are some unique questions that arise in addition to the typical ones.

Consider for example, the climate. What is the best time of year to visit Las Vegas? Did you know that Las Vegas is NOT always hot? In fact, during the winter months it can be downright cold. Snow is not uncommon, though it is not frequent either. The best times to visit, climate wise, are during spring and fall. Winter can be very cold and the summer heat here is legendary. But, the summer is also the best time for legendary Las Vegas fun. Sitting in the pool, enjoying some indoor fun during the midday, then out on the town for the hot Las Vegas night.

Are there any Las Vegas vacation home rentals that are close to the Strip so you can walk? Quite simply, no. There are none close enough that a person could reasonably walk there. There might be some very old homes bear the Strip, but they aren't vacation homes and you would not want to stay there. Plan your vacation home to be near the Strip and rent a car. A reasonable trip to almost anywhere you would want to be will be 5 to 15 minutes.

Can I stay in Elvis' house? First of all, Elvis did not live in a house in Las Vegas. He lived on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel for the entire time he performed in Las Vegas. The Hilton (then called The International) was built for his show, and the top floor of the hotel was built for Elvis. This is the place where he shot the television upon seeing The Beatles arrival in the U.S. By the way, the Hilton will soon be changing it's name. The company that runs the hotel has lost it's rights to use the Hilton name and will have to come up with something new.

Should I worry about safety? I hear Las Vegas is a dangerous city. No, you should not worry. And yes, Las Vegas has crime. In that way it is not unlike any major city. However, most of the vacation homes you find for rent in Las Vegas are not actually located in Las Vegas. They are located in one of the many suburbs and not close to the city itself. The better homes are also located inside gated or guard gated communities.

Is there anything but the Strip to do in Las Vegas? You bet there is! Las Vegas is located perfectly for an entire adventure of the Southwest. Only 15 miles to the west is Red Rock canyon, a wonderful places for the family and outdoor hiking adventures. To the southeast is Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. All within easy driving distance! In fact, now there is a freeway nearly the entire way to any of those destinations. You can also head up north for barely more than an hour to St. George Utah, the gateway to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon.

We hope these tips will help you enjoy your next Vegas adventure. Please be sure to let us know of your own discoveries!
