It depends how many of you are going.

We have a plush 3 bed penthouse in the signature next month, rented direct off the owner but we get to use all the MGM's facilities $2000/week but between 3/4 people its fook all !!

I ve stayed at the Orleans a few times during WSOP for around 6 weeks at a time. The rooms are decent and there  plenty of places to eat, plus a cinema and bowling alley. The card room is ok with smaller buy in tournys and plenty of cash tables. For the money it is hard to beat.
Downside it is about a $10 cab fare to the strip.

This.

If you're not fussed about being on the strip, the Orleans is definitely the place to stay. Good poker room, lots of restaurants, big bedrooms and for a bargain price. It's not top of the range and there is better food elsewhere but it is probably the best value in Vegas for what you get. Seem to remember rooms are about $45 a night except at weekends.

Heard good things about orleans, I believe a shuttle runs every 15 mins to the strip that is free.

Is your budget $2k or £2k?

I've stayed in most of the mentioned places and def think bill's is a reasonable place to stay, the rooms are nice. IP has the nutz as far as location but really is a dive, i found it really dirty tbh, for a week just to kip in id just about risk it again, but 4 a month neverrrr. Bally's is nice but pricey and bit of a walk to the venetian, esp from some of the rooms. Wherever u stay def do the trick of booking the cheapest room b4 tipping the check in guy a few bucks for an upgrade, def worth it for a month, and $50-100 should get u a wicked upgrade. http://www.frontdesktip.com/

Got back from Vegas in early December after staying 10 nights, so feel qualified to offer some advice! 

If the price is right, go for the Mirage.  Great location for Venetian and Caesars and decent refurbished rooms.  Also, THE most comfortable bed I've ever slept in (and I've slept in a few  ).
You can only book for 14 nights on their website, so give their reservations team a call instead and negotiate with them!

In terms of places to eat, would highly recommend Hugo's Cellar at the Four Queens (downtown), Grand Lux at Venetian and Palazzo and Cheesecake Factory in Caesars shopping forum.

Hope you have a fab time!

Majority of my meals in Vegas were at the Grand Lux, really great place! Food is good, quite a bit of variety, and price is pretty decent!

Buffalo Rolls ftw

What a legend!

And I dont see whats wrong with the IP, OK it's not as new as some but personally I prefer the laid back atmosphere of the place.

Did you have a very bad cold or something? When i walk through the front door the smell of damp carpet (guessing from all the old birds pissing themselves) makes me feel sick.

I have stayed in a lot of nice places and a lot of horrible places around the world, i would say IP is about the worst place i have stayed.

The Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas is my favourite place to stay, a quality hotel and even the cheaper rooms are far better furnished and considerably less money than second tier strip properties such as Bally's.

It's a ten minute($15) cab-ride or you can take the "deuce" bus to and from the strip.

This, it is a shit hole.

I've stayed at most of the budget places on the strip, as well as many good ones. The best of the worst and the only one I'd stay at again is Bill's Gambling Hall. Prices do vary quite considerably though, some weeks very cheap, but on others if a conference is in town not so, but at least consider it IMO. Also personally, I get bored staying in the same place the whole time, stay maybe to 2-3 places to keep the trip fresh? You won't get any extra discount by staying in a single place a bit longer.

I've stayed in 11 different hotels in Vegas during my 3 trips there, as I like moving around.

I'd say Orleans was great value for money as one of the cheapest hotels it was a really nice room with a decent casino/amenities and a little bit quieter than the rammed ones in the middle of the strip.
Shuttle bus every 15 mins and taxi was only $10 to the Venetian.

Not too impressed with the standard rooms in the Venetian but my wife complained about the noise and they gave us an awesome suite for just a little bit extra.

Mirage would be decent as just been done up and straight across the Road.

[brummieboy]

My order of preference so far.

1) MGM Signiture - Junior Suite was great.
2) Venetian - Nice rooms but doors slam shut and can be very noisy, once upgraded suite was very nice.
3) Caesars Palace.
4) Orleans. Very nice rooms for one of the cheapest hotels.
5) MGM Grande
6) Luxor
7) Las Vegas Hilton
8 ) Palms
9) Plaza - Redic cheap in the Winter but a dive.
10) Saharra - The carpets will send you mad.
11) Excaliber - Where the Trailer park goes on their summer hols.

LOL reminds me of the Plaza downtown. I stayed there in 2004 and hated every single minute in that hotel.
