Have you tried using Air BnB? They specialize in people renting out their properties for periods of time. The options and level vary because these are private citizens renting out their homes and not professional hospitality companies.

I think Sammy is a bot.

Next November, I'm running the Las Vegas marathon. Last time I was in Vegas was for a funeral, and no fun was had. This time, other than the race, I plan to enjoy myself thoroughly.

So, when in Vegas, what should I be doing?

Vegas is not my favorite place, but there are ways to make it suck less.

Eat. Get off the expensive Strip for at least a couple of meals and try some of the more local/regional places. There's a Thai restaurant about 10 mins from the Strip - Lotus of Siam - that is renowned as one of the best in the US. Bourdain's eaten there. If you go for dinner, make a reservation, or else you'll likely be waiting for an hour or more. Vegas has a few In 'N Outs, if you've never had the "Double-Double Animal Style" experience. On the Strip, consider having a civilized lunch at Wolfgang Puck's "Spago" in Caesar's Palace - the food is excellent, and you can get your "eat fancy" badge without needing a loan.

Check out the desert outside of town. Go to Red Rock Canyon and take the scenic drive - you'll need a car, but they are cheap at LAS due to volume. You can taxi or shuttle to the airport rental facility, rent one, do the drive, and return it same day. Not really any reason to bother with a car otherwise.

Go to Downtown Vegas and checkout the Mob Museum (self-explanatory) and/or the Neon Museum (old "Glitter Gulch" era Vegas signage) - I didn't make it to either one last time, but both are supposed to be pretty good time-killers that don't involve gambling or drinking yourself stupid.

Take a decent set of clothes, and spend one night touring all the high-end casinos. OK, the clothes aren't really a requirement, but I believe in doing it old-school. Gamble a little bit if you feel like it, otherwise just get a beverage and people-watch, or play "Spot the Hooker". Get a 3 AM breakfast at the Peppermill before you crash.

Fark with the guys standing on street corners, slapping their hooker cards - take one, and then throw it on the ground. They're required by law to pick it up, and will probably cuss you for it.

If you've ever wanted to shoot a fully automatic weapon, there are ranges in Vegas that will let you do it, but it's pretty big bucks. Same for skydiving.

Skip Hoover Dam unless you're a construction geek; it's a racket. Expensive parking garage, expensive tour, terrible crowds - all just to see an old construction tunnel, a few hydroelectric turbines, and a giant hunk of concrete.

I don't know how true this is. When I was there the ground was littered with them. They didn't pick up ****.

I'm guessing the police are usually busier with other matters. All I know is, it worked on the one I did it to.

Heading to Hilton Head for the eclipse (yeah I know I'm too far South. I plan on heading towards Charleston to see it).

Besides golf, what else is recommended?

Go to a show or two. Get your ticket at one of the kiosks on the Strip - you will save about half of what you pay at the door.

Golf, drinking, and scenery is basically everything SC has to offer.

Bicycle trails everywhere on HH and a good way to see the island.

Go to the Mob Museum. http://themobmuseum.org/

If you're not interested in an "educational partaking", Royale has 100x odds at the craps table.

Heck, there were free magazine dispensaries with them all over the place.
