The published facts, in plain English
5 Star STR is a full-service operator based in Las Vegas, NV, covering Las Vegas, Henderson. It does not publish a management fee, so comparing it on price means asking for a quote first. Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. Scale: local.
Data-desk note: Licensed Vegas group-estate specialist; no-5-star, no-commission clause.
Who it’s for
5 Star STR suits Montana owners with properties in or near Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a local operation, thus understanding the immediate market nuances.
Our take
The company's management fee structure is not published, though it is described as flat with a performance clause. As a licensed Nevada group-estate specialist, they do not charge a commission, which is a positive for owners. Their market presence is limited to Las Vegas and Henderson.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: 5 Star STR does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Reading the record
5 Star STR sits at the local end of the scale on our desk’s reading — short chains of command, and your property is a meaningful share of the book. The published footprint reads Las Vegas, Henderson. Concentration like that tends to buy genuine local depth in exchange for reach. As a full-service operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. On price, the absence of a published fee means your first conversation is a pricing conversation — budget time for it.
Two owner scenarios
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
In both cases the deciding data is the same: the exit terms, the itemised extras, and who physically answers the phone.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: One Fine BnB — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If 5 Star STR beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A localised option for its specific Nevada markets, with owner-friendly commission terms. For a broader, owner-first choice, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask 5 Star STR
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- All Belong Co — 15–25% remote (published) + $399 consult.
- RedAwning — does not publish a price.
- Moose Management — does not publish a price.
Our own number one in this category is One Fine BnB — see their service for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
