That said, a condo or apartment just outside the Strip could still work if it offers something unique, like better pricing, quieter surroundings, or extra amenities.Personally, I’m more into staying at hotels and resorts in the U.S. because they usually provide a full experience with pools, restaurants, and entertainment.

Also if someone wants to do something custom/unique, they may not be able to with the passive investment.

You could get the boxes delivered to the property and task rabbits to set them up.

I want my occupancy (and revenue) to be maximized so, for me, it's very important to have something unique that the other places don't have so my condos will stay rented throughout the low season and in case of a downturn in tourism.

This log should include:•The date of activity•The property worked on•Specific activities performedExamples of activities that typically count include approving tenants, setting lease terms, handling repairs, and other hands-on operational tasks directly related to managing the property.

You want guests who you find elsewhere that see a decked out theme home and think it's the most unique thing ever, and don't know there are 5,000 others just like it charging less.

I  started keeping an event journal to remind me of issues or unique incidents that impact the income/occupancy of each property, including maintenance block-offs. 

A very unique experience and I'm happy to have been a part of it.

Given your background I expect you to be pretty disciplined in that task.
