Well, depending on your meaning of relative here's where you should start (I've only listed mid-strip hotels in this post):
Cheapest on the strip (near the mid-strip action):
Casino Royale
Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon
The casinos are dirty and out of old school Vegas(and I do frequent them when I visit vegas), but the room rates are low and most people who stay there comment that the rooms are clean and a step above motel (youth hostel) quality. Not posh by anyone's definition, but you aren't going to vegas to spend time in a hotel room. Note, hot chicks will not be impressed when they find out you are staying at either of these locations.
On the next tier I'd put:
Imperial Palace
Harrah's
Flamingo
Bally's
All owned by Harrah's. IP will be the cheapest option for a reason. Flamingo has the nicest pool of mid-priced hotels. The Harrah's website shows what offers they have.
If you can afford better than what is listed above next on the list would be (in no particular order):
Planet Hollywood
Mirage
Treasure Island
Paris
Heading a bit south of mid strip, but not terribly inconvenient:
Monte Carlo
MGM
New York New York
Finally, the most expensive rooms will be:
Bellagio
Wynn/Encore
Venetian/Palazzo
Caesar's Palace
