IMPORTANT

While we have a number of rooms blocked at Sheraton, Caesar’s and Bally’s for the convention, any unsold rooms will be released for sale to the public on the dates mentioned above. Waiting until those dates will not ensure that you will get a room. Rooms are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS TODAY!
