General Info The
conference will take place at a resort hotel casino here in Las Vegas.
We have plenty of meeting space and the hotel is very nice. There is a
lovely pool and there are several restaurants to choose from. Guests
never have to pass through the casino if they choose not to- neither to
get to their guest rooms nor to get to the meeting space. Top
Transportation Taxi
to the hotel will be approximately $10 to $15 from McCarran Airport, and
a shuttle will be approximately $4 to $10. (Local bus fare and
instructions coming soon.)

Lake City, and Albuquerque.

Lodging We have reserved a
limited number of rooms at an exceptional rate, and upon registration
for the conference you will receive the contact information for the
hotel in order to reserve your room. Rooms will go very fast at the rate
we have been given, so reserve yours as soon as possible to avoid
disappointment and a higher rate. You will need to reserve your room on
your own unless you are the recipient of a scholarship.
Hotel policies- please read before contacting hotel:
Guests
will make their reservations directly with the hotel. Each
individual is required to provide a major credit card for first
night’s room and tax deposit, which will be charged in order to
guarantee accommodations. All reservation requests must be received
no later than 6/25/2010 5:00PM. Reservation requests received
after the 6/25/2010 5:00PM cut-off will be confirmed on a
space available basis at the prevailing rate.
Check-in time is
after
3:00pm
and checkout time is
12:00pm. It is
understood and agreed that any changes from above stated check-in
and checkout schedule will be subject to an early check-in fee of
$10.00 and checkout fee equal to one-half of the daily room rate
paid by guest.
Each
guest will be responsible for the payment of room, tax and
incidentals. The hotel requires first night room and tax deposit by
major credit card at the time the reservation is made. The remaining
room and tax will be due at checkout, unless a Debit card is used.
If a Debit card is used to pay for room and tax, the card will be
debited at check in for the full amount due. If a Debit card is used
to cover incidentals, the card will be debited at check in for a
minimum of $100.00, which will be refunded if unused. Please note
that major credit card or cash deposit of $200.00 will be required
at check-in to guarantee incidental charges.
Cancellations:
Individual
reservations may be cancelled without penalty up to seventy-two (72)
hours prior to scheduled arrival. Penalty charge in the amount equal
to first night room and tax will apply to cancellations received
inside seventy-two (72) hours.
Child Care
We are very fortunate this year to have a fabulous
child care team all lined up. Kirsten and her mother will be caring
for the children this year, and Kirsten has just completed a
certificate in infant and child CPR and first aid. We have a room
near the meeting space so that it will be just a short walk down a
hall and easy to get to. Please inform us of your child care needs
on your registration form.
