This apartment is located 1.2 miles away from the strip. We ended up walking most of the days of our stay and it took us about 22 minutes, but if you Uber there it'll obviously be much faster. The apartment is spacious. However, I do think that the price was a bit comparable to some of the hotels in the area so you really could go either way. I would say it really depends on what kind of vacation you were planning on taking. The bed was comfortable and the wifi was reliable. If you're looking for a no frills type of place to just lay your head down before going out the next day then I say you book. Messiah communicated the check in process fairly well and I didn't have any issues while staying there.
