Be careful downtown, lol. I played a cool variant of blackjack one night at the 4 Queens. I had to sit next to this older guy, had to be pushing 90, and he chain smoked next to me for 3-4 hours. I coughed for about 6 weeks after that trip. :)

I didn't used to like downtown, but it's growing on me. I do like playing poker at the Golden Nugget. Some good games there.
Downtown feels like the only place you can find a reasonably priced craps table anymore, too
 
Days of everything in Vegas being cheap but the gambling are long gone. To stay and play on the Strip is crazy expensive. Downtown is still a little better. There are still a few decent meal deals downtown if you look hard enough. Rooms are expensive, food is expensive, cabs are expensive, and shows are crazy expensive.

Many years ago, when I was in the USMC and stationed in California, my wife and I would drive to Vegas on a Saturday morning, get a room for next to nothing, each steak and lobster deals for less then $20 bucks for dinner or eat a really good buffet for about the same price, catch a show for $30 bucks, play slots for a few minutes, have a drink and watch a free lounge act, and then get up and drive back. Good fun and cheap weekend getaway. No telling what that would cost you now.
If you just want to watch some sports and have reasonably priced beer and food Ellis Island not too far off the strip is a good option with a nice Brew pub and beer garden. If you're not worried about sketchy clientel Stage Door and Silver Sevens have super cheap beer compared to the Strip .
