Pretty much any casino room is going to run you about $400 and change... I just moved down to the AC area... but I've been a very big gambler down here for awhile now. Your best bet is to make a reservation at hotel/motel outside of the casino. One that I can recommend on the strip is
EconoLodge
117 South Kentucky Ave
609-344-9093
F: 609-340-8065
Toll free reservations: 800-323-6410

I've stayed there a couple times... it's fairly clean and decent. A weekend night stay will probably run you about $200 and change....still a ripoff but better than the casinos.
Feel free to shoot me an im if you need any more info down here. I'm a local yokel.
