Suggestions for Less Expensive Hotels? Downtown? Off Strip?

Hi everyone,

Before you ask, I%26#39;ve been reading hotel reviews until I can%26#39;t see anymore, and I%26#39;ve checked all the hotel promos on this site, so I%26#39;ve done the research. I%26#39;m just as confused as ever. My husband and I are going to Vegas April 25-28 (Fri-Mon). We really don%26#39;t want to spend the hundreds that it appears we%26#39;d have to for the nicer Strip hotels. I may try Priceline as it gets closer, but for now I%26#39;m looking into less expensive places. I%26#39;d love to pay less than $100 per night, and $50-$80 would be even better. The reviews for the El Cortez actually seem pretty good, and it%26#39;s inexpensive. Other than that, I%26#39;m wondering about staying downtown, or somewhere off the Strip. Car rental rates are very reasonable from what I%26#39;ve seen for that weekend, and we don%26#39;t mind walking, so staying a ways away is feasible. On the other hand, I don%26#39;t really want to have to drive back to the hotel late at night if I may have had a few drinks! So, I guess my question is, is there any place worth staying that doesn%26#39;t cost hundreds of dollars? What%26#39;s the nicest inexpensive hotel? Are there some that may have free shuttles to the Strip? Any ideas and advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
