Finding A Deal
Of course, everyone wants to pay as little as possible for their hotel room and, fortunately, the casino/hotels aren"t shy about throwing deals around...you just have to know where to look.
The easiest way is to visit the individual casino websites (and I do mean each hotel) and ask to be added to their mailing lists. Yes, you"ll get some stuff you can"t use because of black-out dates or the offer doesn"t fit your plans but at least you will have a steady stream of offers coming in.
Secondly, there are a number of sites that maintain lists of offers and will put them together in one place for you.
Here are a few:
Fatwallet.com
A forum which maintains a thread for people to post the deals they have found. Don"t ask questions on that thread, it"ll hack them off. The best option is to go the the last pages and work backwards.
SmarterVegas.com
Maintained by the site owner but features a nice "date" option where you can put in your trip dates and see what offers apply. Always put in the LAST night you are staying as the special rate might expire during your stay.
Vegas-Promotions
As above but with a "month" button instead of a specific date search,
MyCheapVegas
As above but no date search option.
TravelZoo
As above.
In general, these deals can often be found by delving through the hotels" websites but sometimes it"s easier to just have the code to hand.
Expedia and the like will often do a discount for a combined flight/hotel package but in my experience the savings are not that much compared to booking the individual elements separately. Also, you have to pay up-front and no discounts for comps can be applied.

Any thoughts on the Golden Nugget. doing a really good book early deal but a few "interesting" reviews on trip advisor including the mention of bed bugs!!.
Wanted something close to the Rio dont need luxury!! and this ticks the boxes.
of course this is a blatant off to the world series in June blag :D

Well I wish you well in the WSOP, but The Golden Nugget is nowhere near The Rio. The Nugget is on Freemont Street which is in Downtown, about 3 miles from The main Strip and The Rio.
ThE Rio sort of sits on it"s own behind or level with Caesars Palace but is the other side of Hwy 15 so not really walkable to or from, but if you are going to use cabs and they are pretty cheap and in plentiful supply then anywhere will do really.

If you will be spending most of your time at the Rio then the Gold Coast is great, it is next door to the Rio, and isn"t luxury (by Vegas standards)... however, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I"ve stayed there 3 times.
A cab to the Venetian or MGM will cost about $10 (inc tip) each way.
The GC has a free shuttle bus that does a round trip all day - GC > Orleans > Bills (adjacent to Ceasars, Bellagio, Ballys) > GC.
The Rio has free shuttles to all other Harrah"s properties.
