We are getting closer to Viva Las Dopefest! YAY! Time to start narrowing things down a bit and shortening the Vegas thread.
Here is a link to the original and LONG thread.

HOTEL INFORMATION
Of course you are welcome to stay wherever you choose, but here is information for the blocks of rooms that have been set up for Dopers. As far as I know, all reservations must be made over the phone – I think. I made reservations with no problem.
MGM GRAND
If you are planning to at the MGM Grand, Grand Tower rooms @ $170 per night Emerald Tower rooms @ $150 per night.
To make a reservation please call 1-800-929-1111 and refer to group code WED675
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
If you are planning to stay at the New York, New York, you can start making your reservations for one of the 10 rooms I have reserved.
Call 1-800-693-6763 and tell them you are with the Adams Family Reunion with Group Code M10ADAM.
There are two different rooms available to our group at the New York New York (also, don’t forget Miss C’s information regarding the MGM, which is directly across the street from the NY, NY and even connected by a bridge).
Skyline
$135.00 per night double occupancy. There will be a $20 charge, per person, for every third, fourth, and fifth person staying in the room. This fee isn’t charged for the first two people. For instance, a room with 4 people will be $175.00 per night.
This is a small room with two queen sized beds or one king. There is a bath tub/shower combination. It is your basic hotel room without the frills.
Broadway Deluxe
$160.00 per night double occupancy. There will be a $20 charge, per person, for every third, fourth, and fifth person staying in the room. This fee isn’t charged for the first two people. For instance, a room with 4 people will be $200.00 per night.
This room is larger with two queen sized beds or one king. It is a lot fancier (although I can’t vouch for HOW fancy) with marble bathroom, tub and shower, more dresser drawers, etc.
There is a 9% tax on all rooms.
Check-in 3:00 p.m., check-out 11:30 a.m.
THE IMPORTANT PART
The room block MUST be no less that 10 rooms in order to secure this lower rate. **If we do not reserve all 10 rooms before September 11, 2002, our reservation will no longer be considered at the group rate. The rooms will then be charged at the going rate at that time which will be more than likely much higher. **
The hotel can only guaranty the 10 rooms requested. If we find that we need more, every effort will be made to increase our block of rooms, however, unless this is done early, there is no guaranty.
Reservations MUST be made no later than September 11, 2002 by check or credit card. Group cancellation may be made without penalty up to 30 days before date. Individual cancellations may be made up to 48 hours without penalty.
Full payment is due upon check-in. Express check-in is not available.
Rooms will each be guaranteed with credit card imprint or $100 cash deposit (each day) to establish credit for phone usage, room bar, etc. Any unused portion will be returned at the end of the stay.
Instead of posting the registration account number, e-mail me at BubblesLaRoooo@aol.com. Please don’t use my ButtMail e-mail account in my profile because I am having problems with it and might not get your request.
Again, it is really important that we know how many rooms we will need. I am most concerned that we have enough so someone won’t have to pay a higher rate. Once we get the ball rolling on booking, please let me know so I can monitor whether or not I need to grab a few extra rooms.
