I just spoke to the wife and we are approved for transit.
CC, I highly reccomend against too cheap on the strip. It can be really nasty. I've even had good spots "Venezia Tower" turn out to be bad.

Nasty.
We had our wedding in Vegas. On one of our trips to setup the hotels for the guests, we stayed at the Mandalybay. The 1st room, some one had thrown up and the mess in the carpet hadn't been cleaned. 2nd room had some big oily stain on the floor (Lube, did you stay there?). We then chatted with the hotel manager and explained we were planning the bookings for the wedding guests. He moved us up to the Top floor, into a regular room. It was 'nice' but the room was no different than the others in the hotel, except double the price and marble counter in the bathroom. Nothing special. We had stayed in 'The Venetian' the previous trip and made the decision right there to setup the Guests to stay in the Venetian. We also found a wonderful resturant in the Venetian to have the reception, so it really worked out. I'm leaning towards 'slightly off the strip' but still in the $199/night region. Which, for a weekend, is not too expensive. Marriott or something, unless Mikey can come up with a better place! (hint-hint) Bad News: no P-car  Trip is too long to drag the Blond. I'll just bring the Brunette!

Wifes not coming now , going solo , so luxury is not a necessity.
Most likely the Orleans.

If you want to consider a 15 minutes commute I will recommend the Green Valley Hotel-Casino, rooms from $250.
The Hooters Hotel is opening tomorrow  right on Tropicana (the old San Remo) rooms from $96Marriott and Westin are good choices. Check also the Embassy Suites in Paradise Rd (rooms from $150)

Someone please summarize. I will be in LV for a training immediately prior to these dates and I want to get a sense for where I will be at that time, versus where I will need to be in order to meet some of you. So.....
Where will this assemblage of passionate fruitcakes take place? Orleans? Hey, if anybody is in town a day or two early, like I will be, drop me a line.
