Denizens of Dread says +8. Denizens of Darkness doesn't give any LA entry.

+8? Yeeowtch! So much for that idea.

Having the Dhampir so powerful does essentially end any chances of it being used for anything but 'that powerful npc' the DM cooked up.+8? Yeeowtch! So much for that idea. Wink

There's a Half-Vampire template (which is a Dhampire all but in name), in Libris Mortis.
Much more toned down, it has an LA of +2, far more reasonable.

There's also another half-vampire template in Dragon # 313 in the Half-Undead article.

Can't believe I never noticed the Level Adjustment in the Dhampir entry, before. Guess I should've read the whole thing. 
And thanks for the heads up on the Half-Vampire from Libris Mortis. It looks pretty interesting. So do the other mentioned examples from Dragon and such.
Man, I really hope 4E has a playable Half-Vampire/Dhampir early on. That'd be amazing. Especially since, with Racial Feats, you can vary the level of power of your Dhampir. Make him closer to the Half-Vampire from Libris Mortis, or over time, make him closer to the Dhampir from Denizens of Dread. That'd be a nice result (And a possible one, seeing as how other PC races get similar. Like Dragonborn gaining wings and breath weapons through racial feats). Well, we'll see.
I've been in a pretty big Dhampir mood, lately, though. So much so that I went and watched Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Underworld, and Underworld: Evolution for the first time. 
Was planning on playing one in a D&D game starting at 14th level, but yeah. Dhampir or no, no way am I gonna play a 6th-level character in a 14th-level game. I was considering the Half-Vampire, but I went for a Dragonborn from Races of the Dragon, in the end.
