Monaco has dropped the double room rate to $179/night from $189 (Single queen suite remains at $169). I say we go with them - they're super eager to work with us.

Do it. I say we pull the trigger on this one. I'd love to get my room and flight and everything else booked on this.

[In case anyone else has status with another hotel chain and can use the info: Kimpton has comped me Inner Circle status based on my Platinum status with Starwood. Can't hurt to try! I'm psyched because I really love their hotels and they have them in a few business(ish) locations, so now I won't always have to opt for Starwood.]

Monaco will be sending me the contract on Friday, which will give people here time to weigh in, and then I can post the terms so everyone can see them. ND & Kristin, I made sure to tell her we'll be taking the 2 rooms on either side of the suite.
For those who want to make reservations, please hold off until I get the contract - she made sure to tell me that there's a specific 800 number listed on it that we need to call in order to get this rate.

I'm all for the Monaco but I'm trying to wrap my head around whether $10 off per night and a Entertainment Minimum raised by $500 was actually an improved deal. This is what I said in post 982 -
Well, raising the minimum by $500 is the equivalent to $12.50 per room night based on 40 room nights. So, you'd want a room rate drop of $20 before it's worth it.
Still, as I said, Monaco FTW.

Yes, because we'll probably meet the $2000 anyway, based on previous figures and figures I have from my own parties. Provided, of course, 30 or more people come.
