Re: Less than a week.
No this is completely true, in good neighborhoods, too.

Re: Less than a week.

I will have approximately 6 days from when I leave to when I will have to unload my stuff from ABF U-Pack Las Vegas and move it to either my new apartment, or into storage. Othewise, the cost is $75 a day for storage. [/ QUOTE ] You could inquire over the phone to local Las Vegas self-storage places (online Yellow Pages or Las Vegas phonebook at your local library) as to what minimum rental period / unit size/availabilities they offer. It might be calming to know that you had readily available large enough storage space for your stuff if you decide to wait a few weeks for that one particular unit your want to be vacated/readied for you to move in. Btw, whenever I'm seriously interested in a town, I try to get hardcopies of the local yellow and business white pages. They're really handy to have. If you know anyone driving to LV ask them to bring you back copies. Most hotels don't mind you taking them. (I always ask the housekeeper first.) You can always get them from the publisher, also.

Re: Less than a week.
Just curious...can you get this type of apartment if you come to Vegas with no job (ie: planning to just play poker) or do they hassle you for that? What if you have substantial savings available, do they take that into account?

Re: Less than a week.
Sprint sucks, JMHO. My mom has Sprint,and she is going to leave as soon as her contract expires. I have Tmobile, they share the network with Cingular, who I had before Tmobile(I get twice as many minutes per month for the same price). You do have some areas of limited connectivity, and every carrier does. I livein LA and was thinking about moving to Verizon, but to pay more per month for lett time doesnt seem to make much sense to me for slightly better coverage. If you shopping for service, find someone who has it, and see the reception in the places you will be (work and home are the most important) and go with that.

Re: Less than a week.
My friend just did this. It wasn't a problem. You just have to show them you have enough money in your bank account or whatever to be able to pay a few months of rent. I believe he got a pretty nice 1 bedroom in a nice community for around $700.

Credit Check
I was a bit worried about the credit checks too as my credit isn't spectacular, I have very little rental history, and I haven't worked (besides playing poker) in some time.
I am hoping that an account statement or an extra month's deposit will assuage the management company’s concern and otherwise convince them to rent me a place.

^Is one such priced place, although it might not be gated, it's location is PRIME and it was only removed from OUR list at the time because they only had 6 3 bedroom units and that is what we wanted, and had not turned one over in 3 years... Gated on the lower end is a JOKE anyhow, and just becomes a friggin nuisance. Been in 2 of them here, I know this to be factual. 3 months worth of rent proof in a checking account should satisfy most, call to check to save you time, some won't... So if you have an ATM slip dated that day with 3000 on it, you are set. We moved here in 2003 without jobs just like that.... We got a 2 bedroom in Summerlin the same day we saw it, too bad it was too far out from the eventual JOB. Mobile phone wise: We have had T-Mobile for 2 years and no issues and good service in most casinos. Sprint I have not heard good things about from a friend of mine who does frequent casinos, and he had at least 2 different phone models with same results, YMMV. Shop for best overall deal IMHO. -Bri
