I would recommend staying at the Riv. If you stayed last year and got a slot card you probably receive offers every month or so for great room rates. Keep in mind that the club gets credit if you get the room thru the club reservation code. If you have to stay somewhere else I would recommend Circus across the street. Very nice rooms at reasonable rates. The Spike would not even be on my list. You may also do better booking rooms and air seperately. I never do package deals.
