Lance or No lance?

I say the straight up 4 striper. The dude/dudette who always wins the stripe counting game, owns more of the cockpit, and has the fattest picture book full of Harleys, boats, planes and pads.

I say 65000-66000-ish until some one gets some crash pads going that don't require a car, then it'll drop back to the low 60's
 
I'm in baby, Vegas!!! Checking on the "Wynn" as a crashpad, now as I type this.
 
LAS Crashpads?

Are there plenty of crashpads to choose from or is there a shortage? I bet if there are a good number of them once the base opens it won't take long to fill them... What does everyone else who will get/choose Vegas think they will do? Hotel or crashpad?
 
Anyone think there will be a significant reduction in the number of four days?

There are few if any crashpads currently, and none that I know of that don't require a car or taxi ride.

Some of the hotels have shuttle service, but it's getting harder and harder to find cheap hotel rooms in Vegas these days.

I think the Hotel Committee is working on finding some places.

Currently nothing listed on the crash pad or commuter hotel section of the LAS page on SWALife.

So if someone were to buy a 4-5 bedroom house within a SHORT taxi ride to the terminal, could put 12-15 people in it (3 in each room), and offer say around $300 per month that might be successful? or in other words fill up pretty quickly? Thanks... klr

I'm thinking your going to have to lower your rent to about 150-200 a month, then maybe get some takers...

I really don't have a feel for what the going rate for LAS crashpads is or will be, but $300 is pretty high.

In most cities that would almost get you a private room in a crashpad

Most rates are under $200 with a lot of places in the $150 range.

But who knows, Vegas may be different. (I hope not though)
 
Thanks for all the good info. Was considering doing it but don't think I would be able to offer a rent low enough from what you all are saying.. I had a 4 br 3 ba 3.7 miles from the terminal in mind with an inground pool and hottub in the back on a caul-du-sac but I think that the payments would not be covered with 12 people at $200 per month. Thanks again. klr

PS- It is quite likely I will need my own crash pad out there as well....
 
You don't want a pool or hottub in any kind of rental. It is going to be a MX hassel and a potential liability.

Very good point. I thunk I am going to set this little idea aside for now due to financial practicality and look forward to joining everyone else in the search when I get there. Cheers, klr
 
LAS is a little more expensive....

...you might want to get ready for $300 + mentally, plus a car.
