CommVEx v4 accomodations

[rbernardo]

In a virtual repeat of last year's announcement, here are the specifics for CommVEx accomodations --

This year CommVEx v4 will be again at the classic Plaza Hotel & Casino, 1 S. Main Street, in fabulous downtown Las Vegas. The Plaza offers reasonably priced, nice, comfortable rooms. http://www.plazahotelcasino.com

Don't forget... you only have until June 26 to reserve a room at the CommVEx hotel, the Plaza Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. Don't forget to mention the CommVEx name when reserving your room so that you can get the special rates.

A block of 10 rooms have been set aside for CommVEx. The rates are $60 per night Friday and Saturday, and $30 for Sunday night (all prices not including room tax).

The above pricing is for single or double occupancy. $10 per extra person per night, maximum of 4 people per room. Hotel occupancy tax is 11%. Check-in time is 3 p.m.; check-out time is 12 p.m.. Reservations are to be confirmed through individual call-in prior to *June 26, 2008*, by calling the Central Reservations Department at 1 800 634-6575 option 1 and saying that you are reserving under the group name, CommVEx. After June 26, any rooms remaining unsold will be released back to the hotel, and the group rate may not be available. Note: Saturday arrivals are not accepted unless approved by the Director of Sales or Central Reservations Manager. (If you think you'll be arriving on Saturday, tell me, and I'll try to work out something with the Plaza.)

There will be a $50 refundable deposit required should you wish to bill phone calls, food, etc., to your rooms. This deposit will be used toward any unpaid incidental charges.

The Plaza has a 24-hour gambling casino, several restaurants including a 24-hour coffee shop, showroom, tennis courts, a pool, and free parking. The Plaza Hotel lies at the foot of the glittery Fremont Street Experience. The Las Vegas Strip with its out-of-this world hotel casinos is a few miles to the south.

The rates are $60 per night Friday and Saturday, and $30 for Sunday night (all prices not including room tax).

I was double-checking and as of this Monday, if you go to the hotel website at http://www.plazahotelcasino.com you could get a *better* price per night than our CommVEx deal with the hotel. Though the rate is still about $30 for Sunday night, the Friday and Saturday rates are at $48 a night!

Across the Main Street at the sister hotel, the Las Vegas Club Hotel, the Friday and Saturday rates match the Plaza at $48 a night, but the Sunday to Thursday rate drops to $25.49 a night! The Las Vegas Club Hotel is also a comfortable hotel, smaller than its big sister. The rooms are equivalent in size to the Plaza Hotel, and like the Plaza, the LV Club Hotel overlooks the Fremont Street Experience. For more details, go to

Though it may officially be past time to book at the Plaza Hotel under our special rates, there is a chance that they won't close the special until June 30. Just give the hotel a call at 800 634-6575 and push option 1. Give them the name of CommVEx.
