Every year for our annual convention, we stay at the RI Hughes Center. It's your standard RI, but in a standard "hotel" configuration (havent stayed in many 6 story RI's out there)...decent pool, good breakfast buffet, WI-FI, etc. The bummer of course is that you are a good walk from the strip/convention center...but it's very affordable and nice. Several very good restaraunts share the same parking lot and there are a few "locals" casinos close by.
