“I hear from a lot of people who are only familiar with the Strip, who think they want to live a few blocks off the Strip,” said Robin Camacho, a real estate agent who writes the House Advantage blog for the Las Vegas Advisor, a Web site aimed at visitors. Ms. Camacho, whose 27 sales in 2008 put her among the top sellers in the region, said all were foreclosed properties. “You’ve got to have an awful lot of money to not think twice to put down $1 million on a condo near the Strip,” she said, “and it also might not be worth it.”
