Yeah, you say that until one time you go there for March Madness with your buddy just assuming you can find something cheap on priceline because you don't want to pay for a room when you take the red eye in and land at 2 am.
But you forget you are too old to operate in public without sleep and the only room you can book is someplace around the corner from the strip and then you don't spend anytime sleeping because you wonder when they are going to come to rob you and also if that giant stain in the bathtub is from actual human body or just poop.
2nd cheapest......yeah I can get behind that idea.
