Casino hotel room quality: Aladdin vs. Sahara & Stratosphere

[roundcat]

OK, so I'm trying to go to Vegas on the cheap in September. I've found a $69 one-way flight with a free pass to get home and to make another previous stop, and may rent a car at $20/day. That leaves hotel.

I'm extremely tempted by the great deal of $59/night at the Aladdin previously posted here. However, either Sahara or Stratosphere would be about $40/night, which is a difference of nearly $80 for a four-night trip. I've stayed at Sahara previously and don't object to it but would like a little variety; haven't stayed at Stratosphere but it's convenient to the Sahara for tournaments.

So, getting to my question, is the quality of the rooms at Aladdin vastly superior to those at Sahara or Stratosphere? Is it worth an extra $80 for the trip? I'm thinking yes but am also trying to pinch pennies, and that $80 could be lunch and a tournament buy-in. I will be spending a lot of time in the room as I'm traveling alone and plan to mostly nap, eat, play poker, and generally relax.
