Looking for long-term rental

So I'm going to be moving out to vegas for roughly 6 weeks (the entire month of December-2nd week of January, roughly) and was hoping you guys could offer some advice on housing.  I'm on a student's budget so I won't be checking into the Platinum extended rental Suites, but was hoping some of you knew a great (affordable) place to stay.  I've checked out both Siegel and Emerald Suites and both seem like places to avoid. Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks---

Siegel Suites on Trop...near The Excalibur and NY-NY.....no issues there that I know of.....why would you avoid it?

Lot of the reviews I found online at places like tripadvisor.com were really unfavorable.  I'm not horribly picky but would prefer something clean, safe, and possibly with a few nice amenities (and fully furnished).  Wiseguy, thanks for that website I'll be sure and keep checking it out.
