Las Vegas is a perennial vacation destination for thousands of Americans… and, unfortunately, one of the most expensive places to visit.

From rideshares to room rates to restaurant bills, prices have slid up into the exorbitant range at many Vegas establishments. And while many famous casino-resorts are offering special deals for two-night stays that come with dining and show perks, not all guests dream of staying inside the Flamingo or the Luxor.
In fact, one of the best ways to save on your Las Vegas trip is to book an Airbnb close to the Strip, then offload costs by using public transportation to navigate the Strip, cooking some meals for yourself, and avoiding impulsive spending by removing yourself from the hustle and bustle.
Still, it can be a little tricky to nail your location. You want to stay close enough to the Strip that you can get there without too much fuss, but you don’t want to be so close that you’re paying more than you would at a major hotel.
Take a shortcut with this list of Airbnbs in Las Vegas that are the perfect sweet spot when it comes to location. Some are located in high-rises owned by casino-resorts like MGM, while others are standalone homes with backyards and—the big perk—pools.

Airbnbs in Las Vegas close to the Strip, but not too close
Mid-century modern home with a pool
If you’re looking for a private home with some excellent perks that’s less than ten minutes from the Vegas Strip, look no further. This over 1,500-square-foot home has three bedrooms. The third has a queen bed and a twin, letting you sleep up to six guests comfortably.
The star of the show is the private backyard and its sparkling swimming pool. There’s also a two-car garage, in case you’re driving in. It’s a well-maintained property that gives you the best of both worlds: the Strip and a private pool setup.
Home with a pool + room for 8
Let’s say you like the home + private pool + Strip access combo, but you have a larger group. This Airbnb sleeps up to eight in three bedrooms and a pullout couch in the living room. The backyard has a large pool, along with loungers and a BBQ grill, letting you maximize your time in the sunshine.
Just know that the washer-dryer is located in the garage, which is normally kept off-limits. Let the hosts know if you’ll need access during your stay.
Designer home in the heart of Vegas
This luxury two-story home was decorated and designed by a professional with experience working with major hotel-resorts on the Strip. You’ll notice the stylish flair throughout, along with the well-thought-out layout that comfortably sleeps up to twelve guests in six bedrooms.
It’s an upscale and detail-oriented stay that’s worth every penny, so if you’re okay with splurging when it’s worth it, here’s your perfect large-group Airbnb. You’ve got insane amenities, including a private pool with cabanas, a gas fire pit, a spacious hot tub, hypoallergenic bedding, and even an Xbox Premium Game Pass.
Just be warned that this is in a residential area that has quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am—and they’re strictly enforced. It’s also a bit further from the Strip; it will take around 15 minutes to get there via rideshare.
22-floor high-rise retreat at MGM Signature
If you’re looking for a sky-high view of the Strip, this Airbnb gives you gorgeous vistas from the 22nd floor. The one-bedroom condo offers great views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, along with a private balcony. You also have access to amenities at this MGM Signature residential skyrise, including the pool and gym.
Views aside, the MGM Signature apartments (including two below) are ideal because they put you close to the Strip but feel quiet and residential.
MGM condo with resort amenities
This spacious two-bedroom condo comes with enough room to sleep up to eight guests. You’ve got access to those MGM amenities, which include a large pool system and a gym. The condo also has jacuzzi tubs for added soaking time.
It’s a newly remodeled condo that was created from two condos on the 22nd floor, just like the last Airbnb. Once again, you get proximity to the Strip without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
MGM penthouse with a jacuzzi
Grab a truly panoramic view of Las Vegas with this penthouse suite in the MGM Signature residential building. It’s on the 37th floor and has a private balcony with Strip views… and a hammock to take it all in. While it’s a one-bedroom, you can sleep four on a pullout couch. The jacuzzi also has state-of-the-art jets, giving you a spa-like experience whenever you want it.
Comfortable studio in Center Strip
This comfortable one-bedroom is located in a 52-story resort condo building just a few blocks from the Strip. It’s a clean, beautifully appointed apartment that has everything you could want—from a jacuzzi tub to resort amenities like a pool and gym. Best of all, you’re located close to the Paris Monorail station, meaning you won’t need a rideshare to get around parts of the Strip.
Vegas oasis villa
If you’re visiting with family, this standalone villa has everything you could need for a memorable stay. You can sleep up to fourteen in five bedrooms, but the real magic is located in the backyard.
There’s a hammock for lounging, furniture for dining, and even games like cornhole. There’s even a pool to take a dip in, a ping-pong table to enjoy, and a custom shower in the master bedroom. Despite the secluded feel of this villa, you’re only ten minutes from the Strip.
Historic home near downtown
Located near downtown Las Vegas, this townhome dates back to the mid-1900s. It’s been beautifully restored with modern features since then, giving you a basic, clean, and affordable place to shack up in Vegas.
You can sleep up to four in two bedrooms, one of which has two twin beds. While you’re a bit further from the Strip than other Airbnbs on this list, you’ll save a bit on lodging. Plus, you’re walking distance from the Fremont area of downtown, which is one of Vegas’s coolest spots to explore on foot.
