I go to vegas several times a year probably. My comments on the hotels on the strip where I have personally stayed.
Wynn - expensive, very expensive...but very nice rooms with windows that go from the ceiling to the floor. At the back end of the strip so probably not very convenient...but the fairly new mall right across the street is kind of nice. If you get a single King bed it also faces the window, which is a nice touch. Flat screen TV in the bathroom is cool too.
Bellagio - expensive and centrally located on the strip. I like their buffet.
MGM grand - reasonable rates, middle of the pack. Rooms are pretty standard, nothing special. I don't like their location at the "front" of the strip.
Mandalay Bay - nice rooms, very nice marble bathrooms. Topless pool is always cool! An even crappier location then MGM grand.
New York New York - comparable quality to MGM about. I dislike the interior of the hotel for some reason. Location crappy as well.
Excaliber - cool back in the day, kind of trashy now. Bet the rates are dirt cheap.
Circus Circus - see above.
Luxor - see above.
Imperial Palace - was probably never cool but the rates are probably one of the cheapest you casn find on the strip.
Bally's - small casino floor area but the rooms are pretty nice ever since they renovated. Room are also larger then standard rooms in almost any other hotel for some reason. This is a one of my favorite choices due to the reasonable price, large rooms, and good location.
Mirage - used to be an elite hotel, but showing its age and no more siegred and roy...sadly i hardly remember anything from when I stayed here.
Tropicana - old old hotel now, they used to have parrots on display everywhere which was pretty cool but it has been 10+ years since I've been back. Crap location!
Whenever I go I am hardly ever in my room. So paying 600 dollars a night versus 200 dollars a night for the 20 hours I will stay in my room where 18 of that is spent asleep does seem kind of a waste. That money could be better spent at the tables.
