Best way to sleep in car in Vegas? - Page 4 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Why would anyone invite a stranger off the internet to sleep on their couch? Especially someone who thought it was a good idea to travel to Vegas to sleep in a van down by the river?

It's call generosity.. besides,if you don't trust him,he can always sleep in his car,outside your parking place..

TwoPlusTwoBNB, anyone?

Lodging options:

Park you car/truck on my driveway

Bring your own tent and sleep in my backyard

Sleep on my couch

Sleep on my floor

Sleep in my other car (the one that does not start) on my driveway

$15 to $20 per night would be fair for any of the above. I don't want any part of it but maybe some of you guys can help out your fellow poker players, especially OP. Its not that he isn't giving you money for your services.

The power comes from the alternator. If it's not charging the battery when the engine is running there's something wrong with it. If you ran the engine without the alternator working and the compressor engaged, the battery would probably be dead in an hour or two. The main purpose of the battery is simply to start the engine.

And technically speaking, power is current squared times resistance. DUCY?

It's called stupidity. Nice way to not wake up in the morning.

In lots of 3rd world countries people would gladly offer a couch to a stranger in need for a place to sleep.

We live in one of the richest countries in the world and people can't even knock on a stranger's door without having to fear for their life because the guy on the other side of the door might make use of his right to shoot a trespasser. That would be way more likely than OP running an elaborated scheme to find somebody to rob and kill.

I think if there are people looking to support strangers in need of help, that line would start long before the guy trying to cut back on expenses to have more gambling money.

There should be no problem if the alternator is functioning correctly. And the voltage will still be about 14 volts and the 12 volt battery will still charge, not drain.

Actually you think this way, if you are AP VP, you need 7 times of the Royal Flush. Which in dollar machine is 28k minimum. For AP BJ you need 1000 times of big bet which is at least 100K. So I m worry the OP will beat by General variants

Yah, even worse idea would be having random strangers from the internet pick you up and drive you places....

Again, AirBNB. There are some places 10mins off the strip that are as cheap as like $14 a night. You can rent your van and rent the room for under $30/day and not live like a hobo.

Why do you need the AC on? It's cool at night by now in Vegas. Just leave a window cracked open.

If you need to sacrifice a bed and hygiene then how exactly is this a great AP opportunity?

Why not AP your whole life and save on rent if you can live like this.

He's going to go to the gym for hygiene.

And anyone who's been camping for a few days should just camp out for the rest of their lives too?
