There are very few "bad" places to left to stay at on the strip these days. I may be different than other visitors but I casino hop continously when gambling. The only time I gamble in "my" casino is when I am getting ready for bed and too tired to go somewhere else. My wife and I go to different casinos to eat depending on what we feel like eating. You need to evaluate what is important to you in your accomodations. My point is that we are staying at Excaliber during Superbowl and the most expensive night is $69. The rooms are very nice but not luxurious and I am only there 5 or 6 hours per day anyway. My total 4 night stay will cost less than Saturday night at Mandalay Bay! That extra $400 or so that I am saving will be spent on chips at the show.
