Im not really an expert on places in tokyo but in kyoto ive found a place where you can drink from 11pm-5am for 1500 yen($20ish). theres also ones that do 2hrs for the same price during peak hours. depending on where you go theres lots of free things you can see but of course it takes money to get there(train/bus). You can find business hotels in tokyo that run for 35 a night but they usually lock their front doors by 2am. as ive been here for 7 months already if you specified your plans a bit more i could probably tell you a budget.

Cheapest thing to do when the trains aren't running is head to a Mos Burger or some other cafe open all night. They get it. People miss the train and need somewhere to sit and chill. Do that if you don't feel like sleeping.
If you do need to sleep, manga or internet cafes usually have private rooms. Or give a capsule hotel a try.
Taxi is another option if you want to get home but be warned, prices double after the trains are shut down for the night. I paid $70 to get home to Shibuya from Roppongi one night.
Clubs are expensive too but usually include a couple of drinks when you pay admission.
