Default Karma - Where to stay when in Vegas?

So I was just trying to answer a question for kickboy on where to stay when in Las Vegas and decided I have a few questions from out resident "las Vegan." (is that really what you call yourselves?)

So Jason I am coming out for the $1500 HORSE event and have booked nothing yet. Where would you suggest staying that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg? Renting a car or taking taxis is not out of the question but either near the strip or near the Rio is a must.

In the past I have stayed at the crappy little motel next to Hooters and I really didn't mind it but I wouldn't mind trying a casino if it isn't going to cost a ton. Any reccomendations?

I just posted an answer to that very question before I saw your post .

WSOP 2007 Main Event Final Table

A lot of it depends on how long you are coming out for, if your just coming for 3-4 days, I'd highly recommend just staying at the Rio, especially if your going to play events (you get a discounted hotel rate), convenience factor, extra sleep in the morning, take a shower at dinner break to get refreshed, etc. For a short period of 3-4 days the money saved at a budget hotel vs the Rio is somewhat insignificatnt when you factor in Cab Fare, car rentals vs convenience and ideal location.

If you stay away from the 3-card poker you can probably affora suite

Yea the Rio is a great option - I have a timeshare rental at Polo Towers which I love using when I go up to Vegas. Most of the time I can even get in last second for under $150/night on the weekend for a condo suite.

But when I'm feeling saucy I still love the Bellagio and the Wynn - great hotels and I love their poker rooms and the general atmosphere.

I have never stayed in a big casino. Maybe I will try it out this time around.
