Definitely IN; looking back through this thread, can we have a non-forum page that lists the FINAL DECISIONS on hotel, dates, etc.?

Are we settled on the Carriage House, or are we going to poke the Jockey Club, first?

Wait- the Jockey club is taking reservations online for our dates. 


AND it is on hotels.com for $99 a night.  Let's do it!

I see they have a Group event proposal; might be able to get the rate down if we can get a group block?

We'd probably need a rough number on how many rooms or whatever to get a group rate.

People SOUND OFF IF YOU'RE GOING!

I can call tonight and see if they'll give us one if I know how many people are going -ish.

Zeke and our friend are going too, possibly some other Mainers.  May be up for sharing with other folks going alone.

So the $99 room is the one with 1 bed in the bedroom and a queen sleeper.  Good for 2 couples. 

The room with 2 beds + the sleeper is the one that's friggin' enormous.  So it's more, but can easily be split many ways (though the hotel says only 4 I think.  Maybe 6).

I'm in, Probably arriving Thursday night. I'll be driving in. So to help people avoid the hassles of TSA and liquids I can volunteer to shop for alcohol ahead of time for the group.

Silent Girlfriend and I are in.  I will see if some of my gaming group may be in with some phone calls tonight.

I submitted a request for groups on the jockey club website.  I think a phone call is better, but let's see if this does anything.

SUCCESS!!

Ok folks, let's move on this!  I called, I've got a contact now at the Jockey Club- Johnny was super helpful.  If we can get 5 rooms or more, the price is:

For the 1 bedroom room- 1 king bed in bedroom, pullout queen in living area, full kitchen= $80/night (if it's just you and your lady, perfect)
Fort the deluxe room, 2 queen beds in bedroom, pullout queen in living area, full kitchen = $90/night (for sharing)

This is perfect!  Good rate, full kitchen, and great hang out rooms.  Any room could be the party room here, so we don't have to worry about 1 room not getting to sleep at all.  And the location is absolutely ideal- right on the strip, next to the Bellagio. 



We just have to confirm how many rooms we want, at least 5, and Johnny will take care of us!
