Many people want to know how to do Vegas on the cheap. One way, is to go during the slow season. That happens to be the space between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You will probably find many travel deals trying to entice you to visit. While, generally I do recommend this, be forewarned, many shows and restaurants close down during this time. It struck me as odd, until I realized everybody needs a vacation, even the people who make ours possible. So, go ahead, take advantage of those great rates, but if there is a specific show you want to see, or a place you want to eat at, check in advance to make sure they are operating. Another thing to keep in mind is that is not the best weather season for Vegas. Even though there are ample palm trees, it could easily be only 45 -50 degrees during the day. Check the weather before you go and pack for it.
