So I want to go to vegas for a little over a month. I want something relatively close to the strip because I plan on playing primarily live poker. I've tried looking up some places that offer extended stay but nothing really looks that appealing; they are either too far away, or don't have a gym (which I would like), or too expensive. What do you guys recommend? I realize that the closer I get to the strip inherently it will be more expensive. I guess I want something in the middle group. This is sort of a budget, actually trying to make money in vegas endeavor. I currently do not have a car so this is why distance is quite important because taxi fares everyday will surely add up. Any useful advice would be great, because I really want to try this thing (taking monies to vegas and trying to turn that monies into more monies). I just graduated college so this seems like an opportune time to "give it shot" since I'm not working, don't have a girlfriend, or any other obligations that would inhibit a month trip to vegas.
