I'm off to Vegas for the 2nd time for a buddys wedding in April.

The first time to Vegas for me was on a 2 week road trip from Calgary down to California and then up the coast and through BC back to Calgary. We were on a low budget and camping the whole way except for Vegas where we stayed in a cheap-ass motel on the very south end of the strip. The motel had a limo in the parking lot up on concrete blocks, a psychic in the lobby and a big fat shirtless hairy dude leaning against the heart shaped door of the "honeymoon suite".

This time around I'm looking at something a little more upscale than said motel but I'm not too interested in spending a whole lot on a room that I'll use just for sleeping a few hours a night. The wedding's taking place at the Luxor so I'd like to be fairly close to that area. I've done some looking around on the net and fount the San Remo has some decent rates and is fairly close. Anyone have any experience there? Good? Bad?

Also any other tips on must do/see things in Vegas are welcome. I am trying to keep costs down since I've got a wedding of my own, a honeymoon and a couple other unavoidable trips coming up.

Thanks.
