I'm curious, why doesn't Nevada allow casino resort stays longer than 29 days?Â
The state or the city may want taxes from short term stay fees, that makes hotel stay rates per night much more costly than it is actually worth.
They cannot get this type of revenue if a patron stays 30 days or longer which is no considered a "short-term" stay at that point.

This was recently discussed on the Wizard of Vegas forum.
A number of reasons were offered. Main reason seemed to be that long term residents have significant more rights than hotel guests, and hotel guests pay taxes and resort fees that tenants don't. A landlord/tenant relationship is very different than that of a hotel/hotel guest.
A hotel guest can be removed from the hotel room much easier than a tenant.
While I haven't visited many extended stays, the few I have been in don't seem to offer gaming, even in the small bars they have. I can't say I've been in enough to have a significant sample, though.

What a fascinating post. I'm happy for you, because you got to "live the life" in ways most wish they could.
I've spent a lot of time and free nights in many casinos, and often wondered, "Could I just... live here?"
Yes and no. Really would depend on the law and comps offered.
I also think Vegas must be missing out because many "degenerates" would choose to LIVE on property FOREVER if they could, as hotel guests. That would be quite lucrative for the casinos. I'm sure you could arrange staying for 29 days, going somewhere else, then returning again, and rotating between hotels.
I would also add that Extended Stays are a nice option, but to be viable, payment per month shouldn't exceed about $1200 unless you are just filthy rich. If you can keep it around $1200, then you are essentially enjoying a fully-furnished apartment and all utilities paid. Rental rates these days are ridiculous, so Extended Stays are a good option.

(1) The hotel itself, a luxury branded property, was entirely non smoking. Of course, some guests smoked out on their balcony.
You mean a casino hotel has balconies?? In Atlantic City and Connecticut, you can't even open a window, even if you carried a tool set with you! They're sealed shut because of people who try to commit suicide. Jumpers go off the roof of garages now because all the windows are sealed shut.

It's ridiculous, I can't stand not being able to open windows or sit out on a balcony.

Last time I stayed at the El Cortez, I had a great balcony, but the doors didn't open to it. Why build a balcony and then not let people access it.
I've had balconies at Harrahs ( Las Vegas) and the old Showboat in AC, but only in nicer suites.

I remember pulling up to a hotel in Rhode Island once and seeing balconies. I thought "Awesome". Checked in and went to my room to find it was only a facade. There was actually two walls with a service hallway between rooms and the exterior wall. Not even a window to the outside in the room.

The hotel we lived in for 10 months was a well known major worldwide Hotel brand. What made it different: it sat on tribal land. The casino downstairs in this hotel was operated by the tribe. I don't think anyone gave it a second thought that the majority of their hotel rooms had balconies. Now that you all mention it, I guess this was an anomaly.
