How to choose?

 

With so many different management agencies as well as private owners offering a wide range of vacation rentals, how do you choose the one that will best meet your needs? Choosing the right Las Vegas vacation rental that is perfect for the family, a couple, group get-away or the traveling executive can make all the difference in a good or bad experience.

A simple Google search will show multiple companies including LasVegasRetreats.com, HomeAway.com, VacationRentals.com, OwnerDirect.com, LasVegasVacationHomes.com, and many others.

To increase your odds of a wonderful Las Vegas vacation rental experience, it’s imperative to spend some time researching and considering your priorities and budget, taking these tips into consideration:

  • Would you rather rent from a management company or a private owner? A private owner can be less expensive as they aren’t paying commission to a real estate company and may provide a more personal experience. A management company may offer more perks and they also pre-screen properties to make sure they are as advertised.
  • Consider the list of features each home offers compared to your own list of priorities.
  • Be sure there are photos available of both the interior and exterior of the vacation rental home you’re considering.
  • Map out the exact location so that you’re aware of the rental’s distance to major landmarks, such as The Strip.
  • Check references and reviews by performing a diligent online search.
  • Ask for a discount for longer stays of two weeks or more. If there are many homes with available and you aren’t renting during a peak season, such as the Thanksgiving or New Year’s holidays, you’ll have more bargaining power.
  • Ask about guarantees and get everything in writing. The rental agreement should be detailed; specifying the responsibilities of owner/management company and the renter as well as the refund policy.

Whether you’re visiting Las Vegas on business, attending the World Series of Poker, celebrating an anniversary, getting married, or for most any occasion, you’ll find choosing a Las Vegas vacation rental will give you much greater flexibility and more privacy than staying at a hotel. A vacation home offers visitors much more than neon lights and spinning bars. Once guests experience a Las Vegas vacation rental they might find themselves spoiled by the privacy and exclusive nature these homes can offer.
