Is VRBO the best site for Las Vegas rental homes?

Looking for short stay (3 nights) house, 3-4 bedrooms (sleep 6-8), with pool close to strip as possible, safe area. Doesn't have to be luxurious, but clean. Is $200/night reasonable or too good to be true ecause I saw a couple on VRBO but haven't ever rented through them before.

Any recommendations appreciated!

Thanks.

Hotel rates in Vegas are through the roof so $200 is a good rate.

Is VRBO a good site to rent through though or is there a better one. I mean, how do I know it's not cheap becaue it's a dump inside? I don't see where there are reviews or anything.

When renting through VRBO, the listings are done and you would be renting from the individual owner of the property. So you are not really renting "from VRBO". Most of the listings should have photos and if they do not include reviews, I would ask for references and the address.

You can also try www.homeaway.com. Similar to VRBO, but I think their website is better.

Although we use www.vrbo.com most often we also use www.cyberrentals.com as well.

This may not be any help, but you may want to look at The Carriage House. It has 1-3 bedrooms condo units. There is no casino or restaurant but there is a pool area, although not the calibur of the big hotels by any means.

It isn't a house, but it has all the indoor amenities, and it is within walking of distance of the strip.

I use VRBO all the time when I go to Hawaii and have never been disappointed. I do live in Las Vegas though so never used it for here.
