Rob,
It all depends on when you go to either cities. Tucson's February weather makes it the peak tourist season. In a town filled with world class golf coarses
people are willing to pay for what they get.
You don't have to shovel sunshine.
If you want cheap? Go to Tucson during the Summer and then compare room rates with Vegas. Vegas is higher during the Summer than Tucson is. Why? Because it is there busiest season. The Hotels are kept very cool and there is nothing else to do there but stay inside and gamble in the Summer time.
Tucson will soon have the largest Ritz Carlton Hotel in the World (opening this January). They did not chose to build it in Tucson because of the casinos. World Class Gambling aside, Tucson is a Much, Much better place to be than Vegas anytime! Carl
