Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-15-2002 07:50 PM                     Mark, I was yelling at a herd of cows milling around aimlessly in the room to be seated so we could get our live broadcast underweigh.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-23-2002 07:58 PM                     I just booked. Hotel prices are up this year. There is a NASCAR event that week in Las Vegas as well. I got Bally's for $110 per night through Hotels.com. It's up over last year but still beats renting a car. See you at the Film-Tech .  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

With how work intensity fluctuates, it would be near impossible to commit to going to a show without knowing what other deadlines I'll have to meet. Steve  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-23-2002 10:46 PM                     I got my reservations set at the Bourbon Street Hotel. Seems as though it was around 50 bucks a night or so. I forgot the exact price. It was cheaper than Super 8 Motel...  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-24-2002 05:38 AM                     AS for booking rooms here, it may a bit out of the way but if you are looking to save a buck, try some of the "locals" casino hotels. Those guys are not on the strip and they do not charge as much. My sister came into town last week and had a room at Sunset Station for only $29 a night and it was still better than one of those "budget" hotels. Most of the Station properties run those rates except the one where my theatre is at. That casino is a little more posh than the other Station sites. We have quite a few celebrities staying at the hotel at various times and they will come down to watch movies in our private VIP rooms. If anybody is interested, I will do some research on the rates of the Station locations during ShoWest since I talk to the hotel and casino management on a daily basis. Just let me know and I will post it and phone numbers to contact them.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-24-2002 11:10 AM                     Steve said "I could never book this early.

Thats why when I do show up for Showorst I am usually staying at the Worst Western or someplace like that......... Mark  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

They have great rates and they are less than a block from my Theatre!!!!!

Comdex 2002 was a pretty big disappointment. 2 years ago you couldn't find a room in town, even the hooker motels were going for over $100/night This year, all the hotels had rooms available, most under $50 If there's a NASCAR event going on, you can bet on the Saharah being sold out though.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-25-2002 06:54 PM                     ShoWest is March 3-6  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-25-2002 09:52 PM                    That $100/night for the hooker motels...what does that include?  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-25-2002 09:54 PM                        Steve, It includes a free dose of crabs.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-25-2002 10:07 PM                     Ahhhhhhhhh, Seafood............  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-04-2003 07:50 PM                     Bumping this back to the top as Showest is getting near........
