I hate to mention the horrible "C" word but Circus Circus still has the best rooms at the cheapest prices on the strip. Be sure to stay in one of the towers not the manor. You can get even better deals by using their web site: Mandalayresortgroup.com. Normally $39 on a week night for one of the nicest rooms on the strip. If you want slightly upscale at reasonable prices try Monte Carlo at around $69 per night.
