Conference Hotels?

[DChandlerKy]

The FAQ's say to go to the "Accommodations" page to view a list of conference hotels and their negotiated rates... but there is no link to such a page.   Having this is helpful when putting together a budget in order to obtain approval to attend the conference.

Also - the upgrade packages make it seem like one would be unable to book a room at the Venetian without paying for an upgrade - is this correct?

Sorry I cannot answer you second question, but having registered yesterday I can share the following:

I chose an upgrade package

Prices for The Venetian or the Palazzo are at $269.00 per night for a Luxury King Suite with a $25 per night resort fee added during the stay.

I chose to stay at the Palazzo as it is newer than the Venetian and no significant difference in commute (walking) times to the convention center.

I expected that you couldn't book to stay here without choosing one of the packages so that is why I did it.   I did not pay attention to the other hotels offered during checkout as I was synchronizing with a co-worker so we could ensure to both get to stay at the same place.

I received a response from the Knowledge Conference folks.

The accommodations page was a mistake and there is no such page.   The only way to see what hotels are available and pricing is through that page during the registration process.

And yes - you have to pay for an extra package to book the Venetian or Palazzo through the conference. They did add that the hotels range from $170-$370 (plus resort fee's, & then add tax.)

I see some hotel names and rates posted in the FAQ of the K18 website under the question: What hotels are contracted, and what are their daily rates?

New information and that helps a great deal with putting together a budget for travel approval.   Thanks for the heads up, niamccash!
