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

[StingRay]

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

[Meg]

Someone poke the Jockey club.  Screw it, I'll call...

[Meg]

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!

[TimWhite]

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

[david]

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.

[Meg]

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).

[StingRay]

My wife and I are definitely in.  We'll be getting our own room.

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.

[Seraph]

Looks like I'm flying solo, but I'm still in!

[Neosect]

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

[Meg]

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.

[Meg]

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!

Thanks Meg!

Confirmed in for me + wife!
