The first Room for rent is a furnished private bedroom in a house at 5411 Conville Pl in Las Vegas, listed at $750/month. It's posted by the owner on a month to month basis, and the description says the bedroom is about 11x11 with a shared bathroom. The listing's lease timing shows 11/1/2026, which has already passed, so confirm the current move-in date with the lister. It's listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus.

The second Room for rent has the same address, the same $750/month price and the same description, with the lease type written as month by month. Because the two posts match so closely, ask the lister whether they're one room posted twice or two separate rooms. Its lease timing also reads 11/1/2026, and it's listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus.

Echo 1055 lease take over is listed at $899/month and is listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, at 1055 E Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas. The description calls it a lease takeover in a four-person apartment with a private bedroom and bathroom, a shared kitchen and living room, and furniture in the bedroom and bathroom. It's a year lease with timing listed as August to July 2027, so ask the lister how many months are left and what the takeover process looks like. The listing says the complex has a pool and a gym.

Shared House is a furnished private bedroom in a townhouse at 3173 Asoleado Cir in Las Vegas, listed at $1,450/month on a year lease. Its lease timing says Available Now, and it's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the home has in-home laundry, a fully equipped kitchen, a private courtyard and rear patio, access to two community pools, and garage or storage space. Ask the owner which shared areas you'd use and how bills are split.

Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP is the only whole-unit option here: a furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo at 5175 Caliente St in Las Vegas, listed at $2,200/month. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus and comes with a six-month lease. The description mentions a first-floor unit, a covered patio and upgraded bathrooms, and the listing says there's a community pool. Its lease timing reads 10/01/2026, which has passed, so confirm the current start date with the owner.

How these Las Vegas move-in options compare

The big split here is between renting a room and renting a whole place. The Conville Pl room posts and the takeover on Tropicana Ave are the lower-priced options, while the Asoleado Cir townhouse room and the Caliente St condo cost more, and the listings for those two describe more shared amenities. If you're planning to split the condo with a roommate, ask the owner how rent and the deposit would be handled between two people.

Lease length is the other thing to watch. The Conville Pl posts are month to month, the condo is a six-month lease, and the townhouse room and the Tropicana Ave takeover are year leases. A short or flexible term is useful if you only need a place through spring semester or you're still deciding where to sign for next fall. A year lease gives you stability but locks you in, so read the end date carefully.

Distance ranges from under 5 minutes by car to more than 10 minutes by car. If you don't have a car, ask each lister about the area and check current bus routes and schedules yourself before you commit.

Furnished can mean different things from one listing to the next. One place might include a bed frame, mattress, desk and kitchen basics, while another only covers the shared living room. Ask each lister for a quick list of what stays in the room and what you'd need to bring, so you're not buying a mattress the week classes start. It's also worth asking who handles repairs on the furniture and appliances, since that can differ between a room in a shared home, a lease takeover and a whole-unit rental.

UNLV rentals available now in Las Vegas: what to ask before you move in

When you're looking at UNLV rentals available now in Las Vegas, speed matters, but so does getting the details right. A listing marked as ready today could already have a waitlist, or the posted start date could be out of date. Message the lister, ask for the real move-in date, and ask what they need from you to hold the place.

Next, pin down the full monthly cost. Some of these listings don't spell out utilities, internet or parking, so ask whether they're included or split. For the lease takeover, ask whether the management office charges a transfer fee and whether you'll need to apply and be approved before you get keys.

Ask about house rules, too. Shared homes often come with expectations about guests, quiet hours, cleaning and kitchen use. It's much easier to sort that out before you sign than after you've moved your boxes in.

Finally, see the space. A video tour of the actual bedroom, bathroom and shared areas tells you far more than a few listing photos, especially if you're signing from out of town.

Tips for a fast, low-stress move-in near campus

• Keep a short intro message ready with your move-in date, lease length and budget so you can reply to listers quickly.

• Ask for the lease or takeover paperwork in writing before you pay any deposit or first month's rent.

• Confirm the start date on any listing whose posted date has already passed, since plans change fast in November and December.

• If you're also thinking about next fall, ask whether a month to month or six-month place could be extended, so you have a backup plan.
