Which hotel

Ok my Uk people and the rest of the world, what hotel is the best of the bunch and who is staying where?

When you use the code for the discount, (SCA zero 311) you will automatically be put in Buffalo Bills. Half the rooms have just been renovated. You could stay at another hotel but it will be somewhat more expensive and away from the nabx attendees.

...and there is a good chance that you get a room with the rollercoaster full of screaming people flying past your window...

...the bar there is known as "the hanging tree"...

..with its odd juxtaposition of technology, mother nature and full blown hedonism, the Las Vegas region is just about the weirdest place in the world.

It is best to use the hotel code if you want go to and support NABX !

The rooms booked all add up to perks like upgrades for many of the out of country guests. The more of us that use the code the stronger our power with the hotel becomes.

Of the 3 Hotels available B'Bill's is the middle ground one. Whiskey Petes isn't cheaper after the hotel code but does take pets. The Primm Valley may be a bit nicer but not much .

Thanks Bladerunner!

Yes, please please use the hotel code. They have raised the requirements for us this year and it's more important than ever to use the code!

the only problem I have is that booking all with one company, car, flight and hotel there is no option for using the code.

Why not help event out and just book hotel seperate?

It's been a long time discussion with us as well - some people have picked up total package deals coming from Canada, but the flights are often not as convenient and have an odd connection.
Purchasing the individual parts I've found that I can usually get equally priced and sometimes better deals but it does take a lot of looking and watching for deals. The room code is great for the event, but I can understand the package purchase for some people. Is there any way of keeping track of people coming to NABX that might be registering without the code so the fact that there are still "X" numbers coming to the hotel because of the event - would that be good info to give the hotel?

Also from reading the article on the upgrades, they are supposed to have it all complete by spring so odds may be better than 50/50 of getting a re-furb room. It says Whiskey Pete's is closed during the week and just used on weekends for overflow during events

The code gets me a better deal than I can find anywhere. But mainly I use it so maybe one day Dean will stop preaching about using the code over and over.
