Need hotel recommendation for Vegas?

If you are visiting Las Vegas for the first time, I would suggest to stay on the strip (which translates to more $). However, you can definitely do it cheap and walk a little longer - for example, if you want to stay at Stratosphere, you definititely can get a room with a private bath for under $50. I am not sure if you can save more money going with expedia - but I would suggest to compare price of expedia offer vs. what you can find yourself online. Have fun - Vegas is a fanstastic city!
