Priceline, 69 bucks. Pick 4-star and downtown Pittsburgh and you'll get either this or the Omni. Walking distance from all sporting events. Use the self-park across the street and you'll save $$ over the valet (which also uses the same parking garage). Rooms are small-ish, but the location is totally worth it. Bar in the hotel has great service and good drinks. Con- no longer affiliated w/ the Bally's next door (it went out of business), but they will give you a day pass to the Gold's a few blocks away.
