considering im free to live in ANY part of the US, wheres a little casino i dont know of which offers very cheap rooms all week long anywhere other than vegas? id love no commuting, just to walk downstairs to play then back up to my room to sleep. would prefer to stay for quite a few weeks
looking for wheres the LOWEST room prices anywhere in the country (not counting free rooms) for fri and sat nights. most with good offers during the week still jack them up substantially on weekends.

Not sure that 'any' casino hotel would be offering a poker player discounted/low rates even if they committed to a prolonged stay. They are certainly going to want to get a better rate 'on average' from your Fri-Sat nights.
Perhaps another 'touristy' type location (New Orleans?) or a smaller casino that doesn't sell out very often. (Harrah's of Joliet, IL?)
I just don't think that a poker player would get as much of a fair shake as a pit player ... and most casinos might be wary of a long term commitment under the guise of spending a lot of time in the pits .. and then you don't spend time in the pits.
You might be better off finding a hotel on the same block as a casino and then walking. One thing I would suggest is that you indicate you wouldn't need your room fully serviced each day as part of the package. GL

im tired of commuting back and forth its a pain since im unable to learn to drive and uber costs of $10-20 there and again going back add up too. lots of places uber dont exist too.
there used to be small little places (like in laughlin) in rooms no longer in business with free rooms for 6 hours play. atlantic city and 1 small room in colorado still do this, on week nights, not weekends. but its still a resort fee for non diamond members.
if i could pay a reasonable fee of $49 or so i wouldnt mind paying for weekends, but not the $100 plus the vast majority want. some well over $200.
i only thought at least 1 reader would be aware of a small room hidden somewhere in the US im not familiar with. sometimes the smaller ones dont even use bravo

try Reno but then again If you can't afford $100 for a room then your win rate must be below $10 per hour, you may want to consider a real job.

Cripple Creek, Colorado (NOT Blackhawk), but in winter poker will be slow similar to your experience in Deadwood, SD.

Foxwoods has a surplus of rooms. They generally offer 2 comp rooms per week and you can stay at the Two Trees Inn for $49 on weekdays. They do offer poker rate rooms, but I'm not sure of the cost. You can also use your comp points to pay for the rooms.
