and yet another Vegas hotel question.................

[cwsiggy]

I'm thinking of going out to Vegas to scout jobs among other things. I will need a veeeeery cheap place to stay. I noticed that the Stratosphere is having a $30!!! mid week deal. I have heard there are safety issues with this hotel (parking lot at night etc.) What are theeeeee three best ultra cheap hotels (strip or Freemont street) without making me feel like I'm staying in a meth lab.
