Do what I did and go to Vegas with a rich program owner. He kept handing me money and I said no thanks twice. I went to Vegas with $10 cash and no card, and left with a few thousand. Fun times..
Stayed at the MGM in a deluxe suite, too, I liked it.

Your consistency is impressive.

Since you're coming here from far, just go to both to experience the "Show Block". LA to Vegas is a 3.5 hour drive or 45 min flight and if you book early, like on Southwest is $75 or less.

I highly suggest staying at the show hotel for convenience, especially if you have meetings during the show....unless you want to rack up $ Ubering all over and not having access to your stuff, plus taking a shit in your own room is an added perk.

this was a good time! looking forward to this year again

One time I went to a show in NYC and we got a hotel right next to the event in Times Square, and holy shit those rooms were so expensive and still small.. Fun and convenient, though.

Lmk if you're in Miami so I can send you addy!

great tips

Feel free hit me on skype. Always happy to help

Sorry for late response, lot of work to!!!

WOW, people thanks to all of u for your help and support! I will read all and I will reply with any new questions ;)

To answer an earlier question "resort fees" are an extra daily fee the hotel adds on. They usually claim it covers stuff like internet, pool facilities, etc. Since they typically won't waive it, it's really just a way to tack an extra $30-50 per night onto the advertised room rate. Some hotels charge another $20-40 for parking. So an advertised $100 a night room could end up costing $200 a night after room rate, resort fee, parking, and taxes. It should all be disclosed but you may not see it until the very end of the online booking process, so check that last screen carefully!

Really tricky. Some try to hide it in the small prints. Polo Towers also, if you book by Hilton, you have resort fees. When you book at a private owner of an apartment for Polo Towers on airbnb, it might be included. Same with some other hotels like Wyndham Dessert. And depends per booking platform if they mention the price with or without resort feest. Sorting the hotel search results on price won't show the cheapest room.

Just a trick to pay affiliate travel webmasters less money, you get a % over the hotel room, but not the resort fees.

I might go, vegas is an hour for me lol

Pump this thread for any updates. People u are welcome to help ;)

Thanks !!!

I already booked my room at Virgin - I called rather than do it online, they'll likely help out a bit more and give info you need
first they don't have limo's / buses from airport to hotel
second if you have diabetes or need to take meds etc they do have medical fridges
rooms are going quickly but let them know your flight schedule so they know when you arrive
what I can see - room service is cheaper than going to the restaurants
they are very friendly and accommodating

outside of that I dont know about smoking policy
drink lots of water while there as well

why would you want to go there in the first place? Just curious

I am in Thailand in January and i think i just stay at the beach this year.
