Find out if anybody in the group that is going has been to Vegas before. If they have booked a room, or have a club card then the chances are good that they can get you better rates on rooms.
My first trip there my friend got us a room at MGM Grand for under $60/night. Out of curiousity I tried to book during the same time and a couple other random times and I only got $130/night. After we went there and we signed up for an MGM Player card we too get the deals to book for really cheap. The kicker is that those rates are offered at certain times only.
My wife's aunt goes to Vegas quite a bit and spends tonnes of money and builts up lots of point on her players card. In fact my wife's parents and aunt and uncles go to Vegas twice per year. For their next trip her parents rooms are free for the first two nights and they pay $50/night for the next two nights... her aunt doesn't have to pay for her room.
So check with somebody in your group to see if they go regularily or have been and get these offers. Hopefully they'll be willing to book the rooms for you.
