Milissa you don't look to high roller yourself, why are you going to roadside motels.  Anyway i have been to vegas 6 times and am going to be their this month.  2 trips ago i stayed at the statosphere and it was a nice stay.  I won 2500$ on a elvis slot, the dealers were nice and had a good time here.  The room was clean and the place was out of date but not dirty.  What the fuck you want for 50 bucks a night.  I stayed at the MGM and the pool was the thing i liked better, but i don;t come here to swim, its to party and gamble.  Both start at the stratosphere, i would not hang out here after 10pm but will stay here any day.
