I think you might be pleasantly surprised to see just how affordable Vegas is right now,with the economy the way it is. I live here in the U.S., and some friends just returned from there and had really nice rooms on the strip for under $85 per night... which is a steal.
I go to Vegas for business purposes and have come to really like the Gold Coast chain of hotels. They are a much quieter, off the strip and furnish tranportation to the strip every 30 minutes, 24/7. Check here:

The hotel has 5 restaurants and a large casino...
Welcome to the U.S., by the way!
