True.
Primary benefits of airbnb:
1) Usually <$ than strip/downtown hotel
2) No resort fees
3) Usually no parking fees
4) Search can take into account availability dates and only show those properties available for selected dates
Primary negatives of airbnb:
1) Decentralized rules, check in times, rates, locations (have to click through to listings for these items) - search doesn't have many of these details searchable
2a) Will need rented car, uber/lyft/taxi, or bus pass for most locations
2b) Sometimes it is just random street parking or tenant only parking
3) No points earned on your loyalty card of choice for staying here
I'm using it this summer for a solo traveler going for a 2 week period. It will save me at least $750 in resort and misc fees I won't have to pay. Hey that's half of a $1500 event I was going to play at wsop. 1/2 freeroll not bad.
