This was in large part due to a push from the hotel industry since hospitality and tourism is such a large part of the economy here.

Our market is having to bear less tourism (I went on a 26 Glacier cruise last week and there were 1 of 2 boats running and it had 70 of its 270 person capacity), oil and gas being low, fishing taking a hit and unemployment. 

We are currently both unemployed due to the impact of Covid-19 on the tourism sector but have more than enough money to pay the entirety of the lease and security deposit upfront.

The future looks bright for Vegas in the long run, even with COVID killing the tourism economy.

The other concern that I would have with Las Vegas is that it's economy is highly dependent on tourism and hospitality which prices and rents are very volatile in times like this and during the 2008 recession.

If 300k gets you twice as many bedrooms, and your market has enough tourism to support it, I’d go with the $300k option.

There is no tourism in my town (the worst town to live in Kansas). 

I have heard that domestic STR are doing well during Covid but International Tourism based STR are hurting - like Orlando/NYC/SF etc.

For those of you who don't know, South Florida's entire economy (80-90%) is made up of tourism and hospitality which obviously is getting absolutely crushed by COVID. 

Tourism has been thrashed globally, and probably will be for the rest of the year.
