On a weekend in May, nearly 100%. Even Excalibar wants 109 for Thurs and Fri and 119 for Saturday night. And $30/person/room/night for the meeting space.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

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!

I suppose I shouldn't get too involved in the discussion regarding prices - if we pick Vegas I'll almost certainly stay at Luxor rather than the host hotel.

It's funny you say that because Vegas is such a personal experience - ie, Deb = Bellagio, Matt = Luxor, Aimee= Mandalay when someone else pays otherwise wherever is cheap, that I wonder if getting quotes on just Hosp Suite/Prom Locale and let everyone choose their own hotel is a way to go with Vegas.
Thoughts? I'm not married to it, just a thought.

Bally's and Paris are also "no"s.

I know that I love the stuff center strip. I've had good rooms at Treasure Island and even at Bally's. The Venetian was very nice when I stayed there a few years ago.
The Sahara is one of the last old school casinos still going on the strip, it's up on the north end, but I've gotten many a cheap room there.

Oddly, according to Orbitz, the only 3 hotels tha have rooms that weekend are Circus, Circus, Excalibur, and Luxor. I do not feel that this is correct.

I think hotels only release a certain number of rooms to those sites, so it may be that all of the Bellagio's Orbitz-earmarked rooms are reserved, even if they're not booked to capacity.

I don't think we'd want to have the gathering in Circus Circus in any event. Noisy, kids everywhere but the casino floor itself, I don't remember seeing extensive meeting room/ballroom facilities, and highly insecure parking garage.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
insecure parking garage? should we help it with its self-esteem?
