Breaking News: Direct From The Mandalay Bay
 

No space for any hospitality suites or parties in the hotels location for the January 2005 Internext Expo :)

That is except for the last room we have now booked for the Gay Webmaster Bash :thumbsup

That is the word direct from the hotels catering department :glugglug

Well the reason its full is because there are THREE large conventions happening at the Mandalay bay from the 3rd-7th LOL

Oh great - I hope it's not a Christian group or teen beauty pageant like some of the other conventions we've shared hotels with!

ah :1orglaugh

I'm hoping one of them at least is a nude beach volleyball convention.

would be interesting to find out what is going on then

Thats not even funny....

Has this really happened before ? lol

It was either Miami or Orlando that had the teen beauty pageant and the Christian group was in San Diego.

oh shit, id didnt know the Vegas show is at mandalay, thats COOL :thumbsup

but how the fuck did they sell out BOTH towers ?? thats a lot of fucking rooms man

Montreal had teen pageant :)

I beleive i recall GA saying that was in Orlando when the convention was held at Disney.

No mention of ROOMS being gone. :thumbsup

You better be there AND I better see you - I miss you bunches :(

whoa you need to get your numbers else where

I just called there reservations and for a regular room it is 125$ a night and for the new wing they put in it is 275 a night

from the 1st - 7th that is the rates


and they are not sold out of any rooms

and they said they never even had hospitality suites for internext

Yeah I just got them off Mandalaybay.com .. I figured Internext had a deal going on .. I was just shocked to see $499/night

:1orglaugh

More breaking news direct from AVN..

Unless you have a booth or sponsor Internext you cant hold any hospitality suites :1orglaugh

This is just one giant snowball of a fuckup getting bigger and better with each roll :thumbsup

Although on the plus side.. perhaps all of the freeloaders who usually attend these shows wont turn up in January :thumbsup

Keep an eye out for details of the GA Media booth during Internext :Graucho

hotels do that on purpose to raise prices on their "last room available" thing. i've got peeps that work in big vegas hotels. they willpurposely "blackout" all the hospitality suites and big fatty rooms upstairs and it becomes a who will pay more for it thing. don't be fooled.

like in new orleans a few years back? that was hilarious. protestors in front of the hotel and everything.

Unfortunately that isnt the case in this instance.

We have been told that AVN are even trying to secure more 'space' for the Internext Expo.

This really is a case of no room at the inn :2 cents:

Thanks for the info! I wasn't really in the mood for a booth as most people know the hospitality area/bar are my usual forums for business... looks like it WILL be a booth rather than a hospitality area for Real Big Cash this year.


BTW - if you try to book the hotel thru them/a travel service/ etc. you will be told it's sold out. You must go thru Rose Tours to book... they have a bank of rooms for us. The regular hotel is actually completely sold out on the 5th I believe... unless you get a room in the Internext block

Cheers!

Already planning your 2005 internext parties? :D

We have been planning them since June :thumbsup

there was a christian convention last year for eroticaLA

some funny shit i tell you

i think that happened in vegas like 4 years ago too if I am not mistaken

it is the christians fault though, cause the porn things happen the EXACT same time every single year

I wonder if Mandalay Bay will be hosting any proms. (That one happened to us in ATL)



And leave us freeloaders out of this, Lee. :feels-hot

the director of the show is on aly tv and he just addressed the issue about the other shows going on at the same time

It is the same convetions that happen every year

Lots of CES stuff and IBM

Ya it's called the "We got an internet convention coming to town, They use the internet, NOT the phone to book their rooms, Let's jack up the prices on the website" Special....
