I like the old school feel of Fremont much better than the plastic, cold feel of the "new" strip. Had a super nice suite at the Golden Nugget for a couple of hundred bucks. The Grotto there is an excellent Italian restraunt, and their swimming pool with the shark tank is pretty cool too. No need to take a cab that will ass rape you because all the casinos AND Glitter Gulch and several bars are all right there to walk around from place to place.
Everybody has different tastes though.
I like to get a tower suite overlooking the fountains at The Bellagio when I'm in the mood for decadence.
But for Internext? Fremont would be the place. Cheaper, funner, and a lot more things to do.

Yeah, to each their own.
I've hung out on Fremont a few times and it's always been the same. Drunk, midwest/biker couples to cheap to spring for a room on the strip. Couple that with the carni kiosks selling cheesy "I was a JackOff in Vegas" T-shirts and you've lost me.
And I much prefer the plastic Rhino over the way to real Glitter Gulch anyday.
But I agree that having Internext on the Strip itsnt necessary, but neither is slumming it downtown. Tons of smaller Mission Palms style hotels on the outskirts/Summerlin/Green Valley that would work and be exclusive to the convention. Then just have shuttles running all day to the strip/clubs/downtown and everybody is happy.
And then instead of the $5 cokes you get the free snack shacks
