Hey Bob,
I stayed at a great place in Vientiane, around 20 USD per night with nice clean rooms and very central. Only problem is I forgot the name of the place, let me ask my travel buddy if he remembers.
I recommend the restaurants along the river for your dinner but not the ones at the beginning of the road. If you head from the city towards the river turn right and when the road turns to the right again keep on going straight into a dirt road. At the end are some great local restaurants.
