I think OP should consider staying downtown and playing the Binion's events. They have quite good structures, and he will save a ton on hotel costs. Sounds like he just wants to play a lot of poker and have a shot at a good payday. Some people turn up their noses at the Binion's events but I thought they were great.

I played the 2k WSOP limit event and the $150 limit Binions event - in both case I was knocked out at 1:45 AM - only the WSOP paid nothing (71/472) and the Binion's event paid 3K (3/~250). So there are some good payouts at Binion's, maybe if OP has a good win he can then register for a WSOP event. He can always still cab it to the V if his money holds out. And last year rooms were like $40 or so for players registered in a tourney.
