We have booked the Sahara....for the 18th - 22nd.
We will have the Phoenix room and Golden room for roundtable sessions, recruiting event, networking event/party on the 20th and 21st. That most likely means that the major event (since it's mostly a mingle/party atmosphere) will be held probably on Tuesday night before everyone leaves.
We have group room rates of $55/night for the 19th - 22nd and $111/night for the 18th. There are a few caveats however.
- Each room has a $1/night add on for phone usage (local & toll free). However, the fee will not be credited if you do not use the phone (hint: don't use the phone!)
- Each room has a $3/night energy usage fee... it pretty much puts the cost of the room closer to $60/night but still....try finding another rate like that on the strip with access to monorail or what not
- If there are more than 2 people to a room, there are additional charges for that as well....$20/person/night.
- rooms are deluxe rooms, if there are more than 10 people who want a suite, let me know and i'll get group room rates for a suite if i can.
- room tax is 9%, make sure you add that onto your bill because it is not added to the price of room rate/night.
- i do have rooms on hold for Saturday as well. The rate is $111/night for saturday night..i figured if people wanted to come to town and didn't want to change hotels, then this gives them the opportunity.
- I have 60 rooms on hold....if we need more, i need to know sooner than later.
- The number to call and book is 888-696-2121, state that you are with the NetworkJC group or meeting.
The cut-off date for obtaining group rates is 5PM on September 29, 2008. I tried to get it extended and they can't extend less than 30 days out. sorry.
I will have a few rooms available for those who absolutely cannot book until after the 1st of October. If you ARE one of those people, you're going to want to talk to me ASAP about putting yourself on my wait list as I only have 2 rooms (that JC has purchased) that will be "available" under my name after October 1. I can get more if needed but it depends on the growth of the wait list.
If we fall below 10 booked rooms on the group room rate, the charges will change to whatever the price is on Sept 29th. I take it they don't like it when people book lots of group room rates and don't use them (i can relate).
1 nights deposit will be charged to a credit card that you supply on the date you reserve the room. keep that in mind when registering....you must also have "the" credit card on you when you check in.
you must be 21+ to book a room. Those who are under 21, talk to me and I'll book your room based on first receiving the required funds or find an over 21 roommate.
Check in is at 3pm, check out is at noon. you can do early check in or late checkout but it's not guaranteed. If you can't check in early, you can leave your bags with the concierge and/or at bell desk.
minimum length of stay is 2 nights...just noticed that in the contract but it's pretty typical for group room rates. if your only staying one night, find a roomie that is staying for 2 nights.
we have to reserve up to 50% of the block (30 rooms) in 90 days (3 months) from now...if we don't, they have the right to reduce the block amount.
if you book a room and have to cancel => you must cancel within 72 hrs prior to arrival. if you don't, you will be charged one nights room rate. ALSO, if you book a room and cancel and we end up having over 21% of our block amount cancel, the room rates will no longer apply, they'll go back to regular retail amount. interesting but i can see why they do that too.
Any questions?
