Hey, I rather enjoyed our house-share!

Yea, I know...it was only a couple days!  I'm intolerable after a week!!  

But hey, get a place with a pool!  I smell a party!!  LOL

Awesome!

I did this too & truly enjoyed it!  I can recommend the Panorama they are off the strip right behind the Bellagio with fantastic views & everything you need to feel, like a winner!  If you can rent for the summer that would be ideal.  I would love to come spank you late at night on the balcony!  lol Smile 4 me lovely lady! xo

If you look on tripadvisor, they have some VERY cool ideas for short term lodging.  
Hotels like Residence INN's are nice (gotta love the daily room service), but on tripadvisor, they have short term rentals for houses, even some condos (I see many from the Signature at MGM).

As for apartments, some right off strip could be a little seedy - but going just a little further south (South of Towne Square) will open up some nice Apartment buildings.

Not as familiar with Downtown Vegas; but I know the area is getting very nice, again.

Good luck - and I am sure you will have a ton of fun.

Vacation Rentals By Owner.  You can find a pet friendly home with a pool and nice yard for less than 6000$ a month here in Vegas.

When I was a nomad back in the day and searching for my forever home, I turned to Oakwood for temporary housing.  They're usually just apartments or townhouse style apartments but I never had a bad experience with them.  

You can find locations on The Strip if you like the hustle and bustle.  I'm biased toward master-planned Summerlin.  Henderson is okay.  

Cheers and best of luck!
