Nevada Has One Of The Most Expensive Luxury AirBnbs In America

Very few people who come to Las Vegas do so on a modest budget. Sin City is a place to indulge and throw caution to the wind. And there's no exception when it comes to our luxury Airbnbs. But a report just came out that revealed one Nevada AirBnb to be the most expensive in the country in the luxury category. And, crazy enough, it's not in Las Vegas.

Luxury Airbnbs are categorized on airbnb.com as "luxe". It's a setting you can click on at the top of the website's search bar. And is listed among other choices like "historical homes", "bed and breakfast" and "lakefront". Choosing the "luxe" category will give customers a list of options for the most prestigious places that the website offers.

The finance experts at Wealth of Geeks recently jumped on airbnb.com to find the most expensive luxury Airbnbs in the country. For the study, they searched the site for properties that offered a flexible weekly stay between May 1, 2024 and August 1, 2024.

Nevada came in at having the fourth most-expensive luxury AirBnb in America, in Lake Tahoe. Called the Villa Harrah, the listing offers luxuries like a private pier, a home theater, and a nail and hair salon. With seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms, the resort can sleep up to 10 people. And all for a whopping $20,435 per night. Here are the photos, if you want to see what that cost would get you.

The most expensive luxury Airbnb in America is in Colorado, at a property called Forest Retreat. Which is a ski-chalet in Vail that offers amenities like a massage room, fire pit, hot tub, gym and sauna. It can sleep up to 14 people with six bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. With a price of $22,255 per night.

California and New Mexico came in at having the second and third most-expensive luxury Airbnbs, respectively. The Chateau de Laurel in Beverly Hills will cost you $21,701 a night. And Casa Grande at Vermejo in New Mexico will get you 25,000 square feet of luxury home for $20,685 per night.

In total, Nevada came up with five luxury Airbnbs for guests. Three of which are in Las Vegas. Mack Manor, listed as 12 minutes from the Strip, can sleep up to 12 guests with its six bedrooms and nine and a half baths. And includes amenities like a pool, state-of-the-art gym and home theater. The entire home is available for rent for $10,000 per night.

A four bedroom, eight bath Estate on Tomiyasu in Las Vegas is listed at $8,700 per night. It includes amenities like a pool, movie theater, and fourth-level sky deck with view of the Strip. As well as access to a lake (doesn't specify if its Mead or Las Vegas) and a speed boat. And in the summer months in Vegas, that might be a bargain.

Another luxe Airbnb in Las Vegas doesn't really have a name, but is listed under $20Million Entire 59th Floor Palms Penthouse. What the listing lacks in creative name creation, it makes up for in amenities. Including a 65-inch TV, private hot tub and access to all the amenities at Palms Place. All for the price tag of $2,859 per night.

Las Vegas has a lot of great luxury resort hotels to stay at when you visit. But if you really want to come in style, our luxury AirBnbs can fit the bill.

It's always a good time to go on vacation, but summer, of course, is the official travel season. If you're planning a big trip, you're going to want to make sure to maximize your vacation. After all, traveling is supposed to be fun. That means not stressing out while planning or being on your trip. Let's get into some great tips to maximize your vacation.

Before we get to tips to maximize your vacation, let's look at vacation trends. A new AAA travel survey states that 84% of U.S. residents will travel in 2024. Also, 43% will take more vacations than last year. So traveling is a hot thing in 2024. "The travel season is already off to a hot start in 2024," said Debbie Haas, Vice President of Travel for AAA, The Auto Club Group. "Americans continue to make travel a top priority, and AAA travel agents have been busy planning a wide range of vacations from weekend getaways to world cruises."

If you're planning to take a cruise, note that according to AAA, more travelers are booking cruises farther in advance. Many spring break cruises sold out months before they were to set sail. "Last-minute bookings are possible, but prices may be higher and cabin choices limited," AAA notes.

What's more, a new study from AAA and Bread Financial has discovered that younger generations are into live event travel. Is that really new? I've been traveling for concerts for years, but it's apparently a new trend among Gen Z. They state that "three in five Gen Z (65%) and Millennial (58%) respondents confirmed they have traveled in the past 12 months and/or plan to travel in the next 12 months for in-person events like concerts, sporting events, comedy shows, and book readings that are more than 50 miles from home."

That's much more than with older generations, with is 43% for Gen X and 27% for Baby Boomers. Then again, older generations are more likely to want to be at home, because, well, they're older. They've been there and done that.

That same study found that Gen Z loves traveling for sports and music. They state that more than half (52%) of Gen Z travelers are gearing up to attend a music event in the next 12 months. In fact, one in five Gen Z travelers (20%) have traveled or plan to travel to see Taylor Swift live in concert.

As for sports, 38% of Gen Z travelers have traveled or plan to travel for the 2025 Super Bowl. Also, 32% have traveled or plan to travel to the 2024 NBA finals, and 19% have traveled or plan to travel to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.  Now, let's get into some great tips to maximize your vacation.

One great way to maximize your vacation is simply to save money. You'll feel so much better on vacation knowing that you're saving cash by doing things the right way. One major way to save money is to travel during an off season. Every vacation destination has its own peak time. So, look at the cheapest time to visit your destination, and go then.

Sure, you want to do some planning so that you don't miss the big tourist stops in your destination. But, don't book every blasted minute. Maximize your vacay by saving some time to be spontaneous. Take a day to just figure out what to do when you're there. Maybe some locals will recommend a secret spot for you to visit during your "day off."

While you don't want to overbook your trip so that you're always running from spot to spot, you do want to plan a bit. It's not a good idea to do zero planning and just feel things out when you get there. Plan some big activities ahead of time so that you aren't scrambling last-minute.

If you only have one big vacation every year, you might feel under a lot of pressure to make it the most amazing experience ever. So, take away that stress. Plan mini-vacations throughout the year, so you aren't under as much pressure to make your big trip the best thing that's ever happened to you and your family. For example, in the fall, if you live in an area with beautiful colors, make an annual fall color tour trip and just drive around the state.

If time and money allows, adding just one day to your vacation can open up a world of possibilities. Many people plan too short a trip, not realizing just how much they'll want to do in their destination. So, add an extra day. You'll be glad you did at the end of your stay.

Sure, you're on vacation. You want to soak up every minute of your trip. But, if you're up late every night partying in the clubs and then up early to enjoy the sunrise, pretty soon, you'll be too tired to enjoy your vacation. So, take time to get some sleep and feel rested.

They say, "Don't sweat the small stuff." That's certainly true on vacation. Nothing is going to go totally as planned. So, expect the unexpected, and roll with it.

When you get back from your vacation, don't plan to start work the very next day. Take an extra day or two off after your vacation to recuperate, so that you hit the ground running when you're back at work. The extra time at home will also give you a chance to savor your vacation.

People often find experiencing more rewarding that physical things. So, make sure to plan an experience with your trip. Maybe there's a huge concert you want to see on vacation. Perhaps it's a sporting event. Whatever it is, plan an awesome experience.

Finally, when you're home from your trip, decompress and look back on your vacation. What went wrong? What went right? Take notes and learn from your vacation, so you'll know what to do better next time.
