Cheap March Madness trip (Strip)

[KCFire105]

I have rooms at Bellagio from 3/14-3/19 but may be going by myself as opposed to the normal group I travel with. I'll be playing at Bellagio, MGM and possibly Wynn the whole time. Thinking of saving some bucks and staying close to the strip but cheap. Have danced around the internet and only been able to come up with The Orleans or Gold Coast for about $550 for the 5 nights total. I don't want to stay too far from center strip as cab rides and convenience could eat up any savings.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin
