Thanks for the advice?

As a threshold issue though, why would you move there if you have no idea what the off-strip areas are like ?

I'm moving to Vegas mainly to play poker. I'm sure there are decent areas to live and that I'll find other things to do.

Get a 6 month lease on an apartment to see if you'd like to make it longer term.

This is pretty much the plan....My partents also live in LA so i plan on spending some time with them and also checking out the LA poker scene. This is probably not a lifelong decision

I do not know what rents are like these days, but $1100 should be doable for an older, not-very spacious apartment.

This is suprising to me. From looking briefly at rent.net it looked like $1100 would get me an upper end 1-bedroom apartment. I don't need something luxurious. My main requirements are a decent neighborhood, >750 sq feet, w/d in apt.

Thanks again!
