Sorry, my bad. As to what upstrip house is going to have the least expensive rooms: it is kind of hard to know since you are a year away.
Check the convention schedule and avoid the big ones like the plague. Room prices are jacked up and your hotel will be even more crowded than usual.

When to Visit Las Vegas
by SmarterTravel Staff
Rather than ask when to visit Las Vegas, you should ask when not to go: The city has become so popular that an "off season" is nonexistent.
There are times to avoid Las Vegas, however, such as during New Year's, most three-day public holidays, July 4th, and school vacations. Valentine's Day is also out unless you are planning to get married—fast.
Throughout the year, the city is relatively crowded and the weather remains dry and sunny. For swimmers and sunbathers, the weather is ideal from May to September. Spring and fall are the best for walking the Strip or venturing into the surrounding desert.
high season: January to mid-November
shoulder season: late November to December
If there are times that peak more than others, they're New Year's Eve through mid-February during winter escape time and July 1 through Labor Day due to family vacations.
Weather Information
Crowd Information
Las Vegas is less crowded between Christmas and New Year's Eve, and Tuesdays through Thursdays the rest of the year when hotels and resorts put out their best room rates and incentive packages. Typically, there are more convention attendees in the first few months of the year.
Closure Information
Some shows go dark just before or after big holidays. Check shows ahead of time for holiday breaks, closures, and schedule changes.
When to Save
To save on hotels, the best time to go is between Christmas and New Year's Eve, or during the weeks following Labor Day. However, hotels don't like to reduce rooms until they're certain they won't sell, so don't expect the best deals until the last minute. And even then, there's no guarantee.
