Hey Jim....
Great to see that you are coming!! Let's make sure to shake hands and let me buy you a cocktail.
Just so you know the "resort fee" that is charged by the hotel pays for unlimited internet, phone calls, faxes, newspaper delivered to your door, and some other stuff that you probably won't use. Most of the time just the internet is more than resort fee that we negotiated for everything.
As for the hotel not being cheap, I kind of agree. We wanted to make sure it was in a nice hotel. Many of the other shows charge the same amount but the hotel is not a "W". I can tell you that so far this hotel has bent over backwards for us and we are hoping that when everyone leaves the show they will say that they want it to be at the same place next year. They have been very accommodating and there is no reason to think that will change between now and the show.
Not trying to make excuses, just explaining a little. The bottom line is that I am psyched you are joining us and I want you to come prepared to do some business and have some fun (in that order) ;)
