>This hotel is NOT on the strip, but in west Las Vegas area, 10 miles from the strip. This *is* another resort hotel. Standard room rates are $239 per night.

>>I just got my December FoxPro Advisor. The ad for DevCon says it will be at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. In case you missed it earlier, the dates are Sept 29-Oct 2, 2004.

Craig, you should have checked with Advisor on the hotel rates for DevCon attendees before posting your incorrect assumption here. Hotel rates for DevCon attendees will not be $239/night, they will be rated at only $159/night. For a nice hotel resort that can host a conference event like this for only $159/night is a great deal. I expect there will be sessions and events during the day and evening to keep people busy, learning, and having fun during the conference to not want to go to the strip other than before or after the conference.
