Trackforum Fan Tip, From Buellboy:
The non-MGM offstrip resort "South Point" has it's own Indy Weekend package. The deal includes room, Petty Terrace tickets, and transportation to and from the track, and to and from the airport. I've never stayed here before but the reviews on Trip Advisor are good and the package price is excellent.

Plus the added bonus, Buellboy and girl are staying here.
Update from Trackforum fan remogarey:
RE: South Point. Good place. One of the best values in town. They have good slots and 3:2 blackjack. Some good dining too. The only downside would be the extra 10-15 mins to the track, depending on traffic.
Trackforum Fan Tip, From gbfan:
For anyone staying Downtown as I am with the AJ Foyt package at the Golden Nugget there is a shuttle offered from there and Treasure Island as well!!
