There is a good chance that I may transfer to Las Vegas between march and may. Any advice on van dwelling in the city there? I do plan on putting in a rooftop AC to help deal with the heat.
 
As with any place, you will need a large number of parking spots, the more the better, so you can rotate between them all. You do not want to be in any one place long enough or often enough to be noticed.

Nobody will let you live indefinitely in their parking lot. Nobody.

(The security dudes in the Walmart lots leave at 11pm and don't come back till 8am. Make of that what you will.)
 
If you only need an overnight spot to sleep, no cooking etc. The outer edges of South Point casino Parking is cool.

I have used it before, but again, I pull in, close up and go to sleep. When I get up I leave. I don't do anything outside the van to attract security.
 
Gotcha, thanks guys. I do not plan on staying in one spot the whole time and plan to rotate between places. I lived and boondocked in a cargo van before in Florida, and since a lot of cities in Florida are spread out, boondocking and urban camping was not hard. I was not too sure how it will stack up in Vegas.
 
urban stealthing all starts with the vehicle. the less it looks like a traditional rv the less likely you'll encounter any issues.

in my non window sprinter van I have had zero issues parking overnight several nights in various spots.

some are:
stratosphere
palms
cold coast
rio

large lot just north of in and out right off the freeway
various industrial mixed use business centers
among any parking lot with shuttle type buses (so many around vegas and the airport)

PM for more details if needed
 
Would you mind commenting more on the Stratosphere area? I've looked but I didn't see anywhere for a taller vehicle/Tall Van, Thx
