You can beat most of these prices booking directly through the NAB Housing site and many of the hotels do not charge resort fees and give you free wi-fi - big savings! For years NAB veterans warned me of booking though the NAB site - BAD ADVICE!!! You can save a lot of cash booking via NAB Housing site - especially if you book early.
If you're staying off the Strip I
highly recommend the Eastside Cannery!

It's on the Boulder Strip next to Sam's Town and is awesome! Stayed there the last 2 NAB's for $39 per night and it's only 10-15 min. drive to Conv Center. Great rooms and excellent buffet and food choices! Live music in the Lounge every night.
