Also if you really haven't flown in a while, you're going to have to deal with the 3-1-1 rule. http://www.tsa.gov/311/ Ugh. Security theater at it's best.
If you do take the taxi bus, understand that you'll likely be waiting at the airport for up to 15 min. or so while the bus fills up to what the driver or company is willing to drive. It can be frustrating when you just want to go and play! Also buying round trip isn't that great a deal... when I went in June for the pen-test summit, it saves you like a buck. But hey you know it is a buck (see next paragraph) Eating cheaply is dead easy on the section of strip DEFCON happens at. Why just across the street at Slots-o-Fun you can get a quarter pound hot dog for $1. Riviera has a food court that last time I was in it (a few years ago) seriously reminded me of a shopping mall food court. If you want to eat healthy it can be a bit more challenging. The cheapest healthy stuff I've found is by being highly selective at Mexican restaurants. Grilled chicken fajitas for instance... Let us know if you have other questions. I think I might have another calling in the wings...
