Don't worry about the on-strip/off-strip thingy, if the place is nice, I don't care, most of the group would rather get a good deal. I usually stay at hotels off-strip anyway....

If we need to go on-strip, there will probably be enough people with cars....

Nah, the cab fare from the Strip was about $15 with tip.
And Ghostbar is so damn cool. Yes, there's a $20 cover for guys but so what, it's worth it. That $20 also gets you access to all the other bars there. Rain was closed when we went but the Playboy Club was open.
Ghostbar was cool. The Playboy Club was not as impressive. It was like they were trying too hard to be cool while Ghostbar just was.

+1 on the Ghostbar. Did a Lucent event there last year and it was...as the junks would say: "A SHOOOOOWW (show)." Nothing like hanging out on the top of a very high building under the nice vegas sky. Never seen another bar that tops that one.

trendy hotspot may then mean we won't be able to get cheap meeting or party space then
We're also contemplating the Monte Carlo again and Excalibur...Any others ya'll think we should put on the list?

I was going to mention the PH too. Though the ex-Aladdin rooms were light years away from what they had at the Bellagio.

I vote for Monte Carlo. Decent room rates, they worked with us on dropping the rates for our group rate and had nice rooms. There are plenty of restraunts and gambling. It's close to 9FI (NYNY) and the MGM and monrail. The Excalliber looked thrashed when we went over there on Monday night. With good rates, it gives the opportunity for attendees to stay at the same location as the event and everyonce can be in a centralized location, though some of us who come in on Saturday would have to stay at a different location due to rates for Saturday. Monte Carlo allowed us to check in a little around 1pm after we transfered down from the Sahara.

Next year we will stay wherever the main gang is. I was not incredibly impressed with the Excalibur and also mentioned that by the time we all got our final rates, it was only a $30-$40 cheaper than the Monte.
I like the idea of having a big main event in one those trendy Palms tower suites though. If you double attendance again next year, the Bellagio room we had would be too small I would think.

I say we have the main event at The Greek Isle next year! :nana2:
If it's good enough for Delta then it's good enough for us.
That was, of course,
The Monte seemed a good bet. We got the good room rates, it is fairly central, and the rooms were pretty decent.
Even though distances were short the cab fare could start to become @ss kickers after a few rides back and forth, that's why I rented a car for this trip.
