Looking for a "decently priced hotel" on New Year's Eve in Vegas is like looking for a virgin at the AVN convention...(if you dont get that, you havent' been to Vegas enough..keep coming!)...
It's all relative though right? Seriously, it's a tricky thing unless you plan on being in town for more than that night. The reason is that you most likely won't be done partying until the sun is up (well, if you are doing it right). With that, you should arrive back at the hotel around 6-8am or later. The problem herein lies with the fact that if you got the room that night, checkout is generally at 11a, so it's merely a catnap. If you are only crashing for a few hours like that, get a cheap, non-casino hotel off the strip. There are some in every direction, so plan one according to where you plan to make your LAST STOP of the night/morning. There are plenty of resources to find those (hotels.com, orbitz.com, travelocity.com and tripadvisor.com), so do your homework and it should pay off
If you will be in town for a few more days, look into a comfortable, valued priced casino like the
Luxor,
Harrahs,
Ballys or
Excalibur. Time is running out on most hotels already, so do it NOW! Use hotel chains like starwood, intercontinental and hilton to search in the Vegas area. Their rooms are usually comfortable and in close proximity to the action and casinos.
Of course, if you are hitting it in style, you already know where to go. The problem now is availability. I recommend that as you enjoy your time there, look around and make mental notes for your next trip. Crazy as it sounds, it's never to early to plan and book your stay for next NYE.
I hope that helps!
