Have you ever considered Las Vegas vacation rentals as an alternative to hotels and motels? You don’t have to stay in a hotel on the strip to enjoy all the wonderful attractions, spectacular entertainment and exciting nightlife Las Vegas has to offer. If you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind during the day, away from the hustle and bustle of the strip, why not look into Las Vegas vacation rentals? Whether you’re interested in quiet vacation rentals with easy access to parks and trails or rentals near gorgeous golf courses and lush greenery, there are a variety of vacation rentals to suit varying tastes, styles and budgets.
Cabins, cottages, condos and chalets or apartments, homes and villas are all available for rent 365 days a year in Las Vegas, and the majority are never more than a few minutes away from freeways and roads leading to many Las Vegas activities, sights and attractions such as museums, the Hoover Dam, various wildlife refuge locations, horseback riding, golfing, hiking and of course, downtown Las Vegas and the strip.
Cabin rentals may include amenities such as a fireplace, a Jacuzzi or hot tub, and private yards or patio areas, while villas may feature dramatic views, swimming pools and spacious master suites. Apartment and condo rentals are typically located only a few minutes away from the strip and most feature sweeping views of the city, hot tubs and full use of common areas such as swimming pools, sundecks, BBQ grills, etc. Looking for romance? Besides cabins and cottages, chalets can also be romantic and cozy for couples, newlyweds and anniversary-bound marrieds. For the ultimate in vacation rentals, house rentals are the most popular. Not only do they offer the most space for entertaining large groups, family and friends, but they also offer lots of privacy. Amenities may include luxury pools, hot tubs, balconies and patios for BBQ’s, complete furnishings, and use of all kitchenware and appliances. They may also provide sleeping space for up to a dozen guests. In addition, many Las Vegas vacation homes are in close proximity to golfing, local shopping areas, dining and other outdoor activities.
Most Las Vegas vacation rentals are available nightly, weekly or monthly and much like hotels, they also offer complimentary copies of directories with listings of attractions, shows, restaurants, and nightlife.
If you’re uncertain about when to visit Las Vegas, average temperatures might help determine the best time to book. During the winter months, temperatures range from 50 degrees up into the low 60s, while spring temperatures average from the high 60s to high 80s. Because temperatures are relatively mild during the spring months, this might be the best time to book. Booking Las Vegas vacation homes during the fall season is a good idea as well, as fall temperatures range from the high 60s up to the low 80s. During the summer months temperatures can reach up to and over 100 degrees. Due to the intense heat, crowds are generally thinner during this time and booking a vacation rental is even easier, as there are many more from which to choose.
The best place to search for vacation rentals is online. By searching for the perfect rental online, you save valuable time and even money by shopping and comparing before you make the call. You might even score a special Internet deal by booking online. In addition, you can select specific amenities (right down to whether the space is smoking or non-smoking or even pet-friendly) in order to weed out the rentals that don’t match your criteria. You can also select your price range or Mapquest locations, view photographs of the rentals and even browse through testimonials about the rental itself, the area and the owner. Prices vary greatly due to numerous contributing factors such as size, location, type (budget or luxury), amenities, and services, so there really isn’t set “price range.” Some vacation rentals may cost as little as $100 a night and others may cost more than $500 a night.
A few notable vacation rental websites include: Vamoose.com, Vacationrentals411.com, Vacationhomes.com or vrbo.com (Vacation Rentals by Owner). These sites do not charge a fee for their services and once you select the rental that interests you, they will provide you with the information you need in order to contact the owner directly.
