What is your basic strategy-- ie how do you play them differently than regular tournaments?

I'm playing in a $150 event next weekend. There are 2 rounds. If I win my first table I receive $1,000 cash and advance to the final round. If I win the final I win 7 day hotel accommodation in the Caribbean + a $1,675 Main Event entry.

There's nothing too much to change in your strategy other than to play aggressively and push your edges. They are similar to sit-n-goes or the final table of a big MTT. The difference is that there are no rewards for surviving to 4th, 3rd, 2nd place. So for example, if you get 3-handed and are tied for the CL with one player being shortstacked, in an MTT or SNG you need to be cautious about playing a huge pot with the other big stack. In the first table of a shootout you can play normally vs him, since busting 3rd doesn't matter. You need to get all the chips eventually.
