Hedoman, I agree with you about the Regent. While, yes it is quite a bit away from The Strip, it is a beautiful property at the foothills of the Red Rock country. I just made reservations there for a couple of days just following Comdesx (11/17--20). It does have a small, yet nice casino and sports book, but also great golf and enormous rooms--all with whirlpools. They seem to offer some cheap rates during the summer, but they go up considerably in the fall/winter.
