For Vegas I would say if you want to do it on the cheap go to either Excalibur or Imperial Palace. Recently Imperial Palace had a mid-week rate of $89 for 3 nights [total]. You'll easily find a week night room there for under $50 and a weekend of $99 to $109. They have the best locations for the price. I would check out the other major resorts on the strip too, though, because a lot of them are having amazing deals right now. I'm talking about a Bellagio lake front room for $150 on a week night, things like that. It would be worth it to splurge for some of those deals. If you absolutely want to do cheap, and on the strip, do not do Circus Circus or the Stratosphere. They are way too far away, trust me.
