I'm seeing it more and more often where most of the shows we attend are charging 1 night deposit a few weeks in advance and the balance when you checkout. Nice way to get between 1-30 days worth of interest from the banks in advance. Picture 998 rooms at the Westin * 400 minimum = $399,200 worth of deposits. Not a bad chunk of change and a great way to guarantee funds for no-shows.
