Just did some hotel checking on Vegas. Looks like rooms are sitting at around $300/night at the moment and some hotels are already booked. It's looking like I'm going to stay at Paris and I'll probably book my room in the next week or two so that it's all set to go. It's a bit expensive for that weekend, but the rooms in most of the strip hotels are quite large and can be had with two queen beds, so if folks double up it's not too bad.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
ND, we actually thought about Vegas for New Years Eve this year. Then we checked the Bellagio's prices. Even being buddies with concierge, Nic had to wave ammonia under my nose to get me to recover from the faint.

Yeah, the prices that weekend are a bit on the high side but I'm going at least for one night, probably two.

I think that the first expectation is unrealistic, for the quality/services of the kind of hotel we'd like, particularly in a city like San Francisco or Seattle.
I think that HSI in the room shouldn't be a dealbreaker. I think that it should tip the scales in favor of one hotel, but we shouldn't not consider a hotel if it doesn't have it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dunno about Seattle, but I think this actually won't be totally unrealistic for San Francisco if people double up -- even the Stanyan Park, the historical-register boutique hotel between our place and Deb's, has a base rate of $130, which is fairly reasonable when split in half, and extra rollaway beds for $20.

right. the room itself is not under $100. If we mean, under $100 per person, that's reasonable, but for the room itself, I don't think we can do it.

I'd really rather try first and then extend our range upward if it becomes necessary.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well the rooms were $109 in NOLA, and folks complained that was too expensive, so I think Debet has stated the requirement correctly. Whether it's feasible is another question.
