If you are planning on attending CommVEx, the Commodore Vegas EXPO on July
30 and 31 in Las Vegas, you have until Friday, July 15 [today!] to book
your room at the Golden Palm Casino Hotel and get in on the group rate and
block of rooms we have set aside for CommVEx attendees.

The Golden Palm Casino Hotel has given us a block of rooms and a Group
Booking rate that is better than what I have found online. Rooms for up to 2
people are $50 for Friday night, $50 for Saturday night and $34 for Sunday
night if you want to stay over. Monday to Thursday night stays are also $34.
There is a $10 per person charge for more than 2 people in a room. All rates
subject to 9% sales tax. You have your choice of Smoking or non-smoking and
can request a room with 2 Queen beds or 1 King size bed at the time you book
your room.

In order to guarantee that you can get these rates (and you can stay for
every night or only one night if you want - it is up to you) you must phone
the toll free number, 800-300-7389, and speak to Helene in the Sales Office
at Extension 703. If you don't catch her at her desk make sure you leave a
message and she will return your call. When you call to reserve your room
(you need a Credit Card to guarantee your room) use the 4-letter reservation
code "comm" to get in on the group rate.

I have been told that trying to book a room online says the Hotel has no
available rooms for the weekend. Perhaps not surprising as Vegas is a
popular destination and Def Con 13 (http://www.defcon.org/) is being held in
Vegas that weekend as well.

So, if you haven't booked your room already you will want to do it soon.
Find a buddy and double up.

After Friday July 15 there is no guarantee that you can get booked into this
hotel.

Looking forward to seeing as many people as possible in Las Vegas to
celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the introduction of the Commodore 128 and
all that is good in the world of Commodore in 2005.
