A few years ago when I was still going to Vegas way too aften, I toyed with the idea of buying something like a Signature unit, and rent it out when I wasn't visiting. If you visited a lot, you could also rent a furnished apartment for what a weekend hotel rooms costs for 4 nights. Hotel prices have not reached that point yet, but they're heading that way.
I agree 100% with you. The MGM signature was on the higher end than what I am currently looking to spend at this time. Plan to start with one week and see how it goes. Pick up a second week next year if everything goes smooth.
Being a few miles from the strip has its pros and cons.
Since wife and I play exclusively poker and it's at Bellagio, Venetian and 2% Orleans, it makes sense. We have already seen everything we have wanted to and know what we like when it comes to LV. It would be nice to have a fridge included and a microwave for those late nights when you have leftovers.
The only downside I see is catching the deuce for every ride. I have done the deuce on all but a few rides this trip from lux to Bellagio and have had no issues.
