If it were me I'd prefer to stay on the other side of the strip if I could and take a bus or taxi to get groceries. (Renting a LV car is very cheap too.) Closest grocery would then likely be Vons I think.
I think finding a monthly rental where you can walk nicely/safely to the strip and also to a real grocery may be tricky. If you will settle for connivence store groceries it will be easier.
Except for being crowded at times the bus system in LV is not terrible.
(Good for american standards but not as good as ROW standards.)
I too prefer walking when I can.
youre making the grocery thing more complicated than it has to be.

delivery is effectively free provided youre not getting groceries delivered several times a week.
agree that palms place is not optimal... its not terrible but palms tends to be overpriced for what you get... an aging property in a crappy location.... the location is bad (its a little less than half a mile farther from the strip than palms/gc/rio...., which is already pushing it) and the whole palms/palms place conglomerate feels like it used to be the hep happenin place in the late 70s. Which is odd, because it wasnt built until 1999, but it still feels really run down and depressing.
Theres a guy named alex dapra who rents signature studios and usually has a good inventory... i dont have his number off hand ,but he spams craigslist pretty good so he shouldnt be that hard to find.... I think he advertises 1800/mo but you migh tpay a shade more if its just for one month. I have never actually rented from him, but i was looking at one of his places, so i can confirm at least that hes a real person who really owns the units he says he owns. ALternatively you could find one on VRBO. Although again kind of watch out because there can be some shady people renting units there, and some of the units are pretty tore up (MGM no longer runs maintenance or cleaning for the private owners)
Meridian isnt a bad choice... id reccomend my LL but im pretty sure he doesnt do month to month. Again great location but you have to be careful because there are a lot of shady realtors.
