        I would buy the one without hyphens first. It's less likely direct traffic would go to a competitor. Though I would say to buy them both, for giggles.

        The best thing would be to build a brand and buy the variants of that domain name.

        I won't go into redirects, this that and the other, because that gets messy quick. I don't think you want to deal with messy.

        Build a brand.

          I agree with Travis if you are going down the keyword rich domain I would go for the one without hyphens.

            Google said some time ago that sites with hyphens in are more of a spam signal to them - more so with .com's

            That said, your URL will have no impact on SEO at all. If you were a brand, then there are benefits to doing this then. I would also drop the -nv at the end (unless that isn't available).

                Personally, I would go with something more like  www.lasvegaswrappers.com (which is available).

                Or www.wrapvegas.com... Something that is less of a mouthful and will probably be easier for people to remember.
