XVP: Question about extended stay properties

I thought I recalled a discussion about extended stay properties in
LV a while back, but a search of the archives produced no results.

I have a friend who will be playing in several of the WSOP events in
July and plans to spend 5 to 6 weeks in LV.

Can someone recommend a reasonably priced extended stay facility that
doesn't have the transient element that sometimes infests these types
of properties?

Thanks in advance.

Wrong archives. It was on FREEvpFREE.

There are some temporary apartments on Boulder highway near Sams
Town in Vegas. I need to know the name of them and their telephone
number if possible. Any information about them would be very much
appreciated or a recommendation regarding reasonably priced short
term housing.

What about the Extended Stay America chain? Their website says they
have 3 properties in the LV area. Whenever I visit St. Louis, I stay
at the ESA in Westport (unless Harrah's gives me a free room).

I have not visited the LV properties, but I can tell you the St.
Louis site is clean and fairly cheap. In fact, that's how I
discovered the chain. I did a search in Orbitz a couple of years
ago, and ESA was one of the lowest priced offers that popped up.

I stayed at the Emerald Suites a couple of years ago. Very
reasonable prices, nice amenities. I think there are 3 in LV. one
near Nellis, one just of LV Strip south of everything, and 1 off
trop between I 15 and Orleans (this is the one we stayed at).

I've heard good things about Emerald, but their proces are not what I
would call reasonable. I checked their website for a four-week stay
covering parts of March and April, and the average daily rate was more
than $100! Yikes!

About four years ago I stayed three nights at the Budget Suites
location at Flamingo and Boulder. I had a one-bedroom suites, which
had separate bedroom and living room/kitchenette. The kitchen did NOT
have a microwave, but did have a standard oven, refrigerator and
full-size kithcen sink. The room was spartan but clean. The property
was nicer than expected, with two pools and three coin laundries, one
of them open 24/7. It's right next to Sam's Town and a 24-hour
Walgreen's, and a supermarket is across Boulder. You can use the
excellent Sam's Town shuttle bus system to get to downtown or the trip
for free.

The "transient element" is there to some extent -- it was obvious that
there were quite a few rooms being used for long-term stays. Several
had pets -- as I walked around the property, I noticed several cats
sitting in front windows, and even a couple outside -- one staring
intently at another cat in a window. I like cats, so I found this sort
of charming, but your mileage my vary.

Security was evident at all times. I saw security walking the property
at all hours of the day or night. This property is fairly large for
its type, with 15 or so separate buildings of three floors each.

Their website lists a weekly rate of $199 and monthly for $796 for a
one-bedroom suite.

Budget Suites does tend to have a bit of a negative reputation, but I
found this particular property to be pretty decent. I'd give it a shot.
