Cleo: January and Feb are the 'rainy' months there.. and being that the ground is hard from baking from March to Nov.. there is a bit of flash flooding. However, it rarely affects the strip area.
As far as transportation goes, the strip bus and trolley are $1.00 and most casinos will provide transport to other casinos or have a mini-bus that runs around.
As far as hotels off the strip, that's my preference as well. We are staying at the Rio, and my 2nd choice would be the Orleans. If you re looking for an apartment type place, Cleo, try like the Budget Suites on Tropicana.. they are pretty decent and i think the weekly rate there is like 250 per week, which isn't bad.
KCat..i have a friend in vegas who runs in her home, the AAA Pet Hotel, she gives the dog/cat full run of her house or yard whichever they are more accustomed to, so if those on the link aren't what you are looking for hit me up.
