As Azbob mentioned about the South Point,Stations,and Boyd casinos,they have very reasonable rates and i'm sure you can smooth talk the desk person, which can benefit to maybe a upgrade,but if you're happy with just a cheaper room then just go that way.Also let him/her know that you have AAA,MILITARY,MEDICARE,etc for another discount.I stay at Orleans all the time,but i get my rooms comped,but the rooms are nice especially for the price,..hope this helps
Happy New Year
Both Stations and Boyd have a lot of hotels downtown also
