    Default Internet speeds at Vegas Extended Stays

    Hi guys!

    I posted a couple of questions in life support about relocating to Vegas but I thought since this related more directly to camming I would post this one here.

    I'm relocating to Vegas in about a month. At first, I will be there by myself and my boyfriend will follow about a month later. For now, we are planning to put me up like a rent by the week Extended stay apartment/suite style place until he gets to Vegas with the moving truck and all our stuff.

    My concern is that some of the reviews I've been reading about these places say that the internet is really slow. There is no way to to get my own internet service there obviously so I'm wondering about like internet wireless cards from a place like Verizon or ATT or whoever makes them these days.

    I did a couple of searches and the stuff I found was 2 or more years old so I'm hoping for some more current info on what I can do about a decent internet connection in the month that I am without an apartment of my own with my own internet service.

    When I first started camming, I used an internet card. It was not the fastest and more importantly, I had hundreds of dollars in overage charges. I do not recommend doing it. Did you look on airbnb?

    Its going to vary by the hotel/motel, and by where your room is located compared to their router. Obviously an extended hotel is not high end, so of course they are going to have the cheapest internet package possible.

    As far as air cards go, when I used one, it barely even got me connected to the internet, and camming didn't work at all. Not even 1 site without an encoder. Much too slow.

    Google airbnb. It's rental/vacation property. I have used it twice and loved every time. Great prices for extra rooms and privacy and free Internet. Also google homeaway. I use it extensively for vacations.

    Airbnb has an app for iPhone (maybe android too).

    May I perhaps recommend that you cam for enough money at your current location to move directly into an apartment in Vegas? I've moved four times, all on camgirl income, and we always just saved up the money we needed for deposits/rent in advance so we never had to worry about a halfway-house sort of arrangement.

    Just a suggestion.

    Well I have stayed in lots of hotels and just let me tell you, it is very, very, very rare to find a hotel room that is suitable for camming. There are only 2 hotel chains that have high speed internet available (at a fee, but that is fine with me, as long as I can make money)...and ethernet.
    Those would be the Hyatt Regency, which have ethernet ports, and you can buy a special internet package at 19.99 a day.
    The other one is the Marriot chain of hotels, all of their hotels have high speed internet (some of them you buy an advanced special package per day to get more speed), and all of them have ethernet ports. You may have to ask about the Ethernet, but it is always available.

    High end versus low end hotels have nothing to do with their internet. I have surprisingly found better speeds at lower end hotels most of the time. Unfortuantely my favorite hotel group, Sheratons, Westins, W.....they are all on AT&T wireless, which sucks.

    Yes, do airbnb. But you have to message them in advance in certain tourist spots. I could find an airbnb easily in Arizona in the summer, it was a private condo rental at a GREAT price, and I even got my own internet installed. But in other places, like tourist heavy spots, they are very in demand, so it will be harder to secure a spot unless you book in advance. I had a hard time finding one in LA over the summer. Airbnbs are easier to find there, now. In Vegas, I would assume an airbnb would be easier to find in a not so touristy spot....which I know can be dodgy sometimes, but as long as you have the place to yourself and you can get decent internet, I think it is fine for a month.
    Always, always, ALWAYS ask about internet speeds.....this is what I always said in my message.....I said that I am staying in the area to help my family, but I MUST have an ethernet connection internet that has an upload speed of at least 1.5, because I am away from work for a month and I do public relations and media work for a non-profit agency, so I need to have fast, reliable speed to render videos. That usually always worked. There is also homeaway and vacationrentals.com, too.

    Oh, and extended stays don't have ethernet, and VERY thin walls. You can get a good upload speed, if you buy the weekly package (which is cheap), but yeah, the connection is bouncy as FUCK, so don't count on camming at any extendedstay america.

    Ladies I have never actually used AirBnB, and am making my profile right now. Do you list your job ? =/ If not what do you put, and do you tell people when you send in the app to apply?

    I don't want to burn opportunities OR put a target on my back!!
