Re: Moving to Vegas
You can find a nice apartment in 2 or 3 days. I have found apartments in less time. I have a friend who just rented an apartment in Silverado Ranch, and he told me that the rentals were "on the market" for less than a week... so, the turn around time is quick. If you find a place you like, you can probably move in almost immediately. I don't think it would be a problem to find an apartment and have the keys within a week.
During your apartment search there are some pretty respectable weekly rental suites available at a few properties on the south end of the strip (1 or 2 miles south of Mandalay Bay). These places are only a few years old, and they haven't gone to hell yet. When you get to town, I would check these places out, unless you're really set on staying in a dump.
I live in the Green Valley / Silverado Ranch area, and I'm partial to this part of town. It's not super close to the action though, but the drive to the strip is just a few minutes (10 to 15), and the neighborhoods are nice.

One more thing, I am shopping for cell phone service before I get there. Any input on which carriers are good / get good reception indoors in some of the big strip casinos?

I have Sprint. I get service in all the poker rooms I regularly play at, with the exception of the Luxor. Sprint also has pretty good coverage in the South part of the valley (where I live).
