"Looking for something that isn't going to kill my pockets" > Go when room prices are low. Avoid weekends, large conventions and special events. Do, plan as far in advance as possible. Do, book your room through the hotel, so that if you find a better deal you can cancel the first reservation and make another.Do, check the travel sites to compare rates with the hotel web sites(but only for comparison) many LV hotels will price match the best rate you can find online, for their hotel.
This is a good site for LV info. You can access every hotel/casino web site in LV from this one, and the LVA site uses travelave which is a great way to search for the best room rates.

The cheapest time to go to LV is after the NFR up until the weekend before new years. This year that's December 9th until the 28th. The other "generally" cheaper times of the year are from Memorial Day until Labor day and then again from the first of November until the first of March.
IMHO these are the best value

Try going to a discount travel website (Sherman's Travel, Hotels.com, Expedia) where you get the best deals, and make sure to stay at a hotel on the strip.
Almost any hotel on the strip is really nice (Excalibur, Luxor, New York, New York), but some of them are older, like Circus Circus and Stratosphere etc. There is so much to do in Vegas! Check out www.lasvegas.com. Try picking up a coupon book while you are there, and many hotels have special promotions. Generally you can walk the strip, take the bus up and down it, and some hotels have trams inbetween.
You can also take a day bus trip to the Grand Canyon from most of the hotels, which is really fun as well.

The Paris hotel is a great place to stay. Every Las Vegas stay must include a buffet and it is excellent at the Paris. Go ahead and see the top of the Eiffel Tower with your two for one coupon as a guest of the hotel. You could have a great view of the Bellagio fountains across the street. Take a walk over to the Forum shops at Caesar's.

Depending on where you live, always try to get a vacation package (travelocity.com). It will be cheaper and you will have a variety of hotels to choose from. If you are driving there, try hotels that are off the strip if you want it to be less expensive and if you don't mind not being on the strip. If you want to stay on the strip, tyr hotels such as Excalibur, Treasure Island or Circus Circus. Good luck.

Ok I was born and raised here so... first and foremost you have to stay at Mandalay Bay during the summer! They have one of the best pools out here, and it's a great place to see and be seen! If you are going to test your luck at the tables you should go to the free lessons first, every hotel gives free poker lessons early in the afternoon. For shopping I would suggest the Forum Shoppes at Cesar's, or the at the Grand Canal shops at the Venetian.

i stayed at The Flamingo when i went to Las Vegas. it has good restaurants, good service, and a nice pool. the MGM has a lot to offer and looks like it would be a fun place to stay. the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace are simply beautiful but the prices aren't cheap. basically any hotel on the strip is good location. check into which one would suit your stay best.

When I went, I stayed at the Excalibur. It was pretty cool. But most of the hotels are nice. Try going to lasvegas.com, they have all of the hotels plus pictures of them. Have fun!!!
