I myself care little for or about luxury; normally I stay comped at the casino but they're all booked up til the end of this month.
I chose to stay at Motel 6 primarily because it is close to the casino and I can get to the casino from there by taking back roads (important for a cannabis user such as myself), thus avoiding a possible DWI.
I was by myself (wife not a gambler), but in the past when my wife accompanied me we'd stay at more upscale places, for her sake: Salishan and Shearwater, e.g.
Oh, I'm not 70 ... I'm younger than that.
