Rio Hotel Block

[Sting-r]

<p>Spoke with a reservation's agent at Rio Hotel and they said they have rooms available but the room block (room rate) for the SOE is sold out.</p><p>Are there any plans to increase the room block?</p>

Yeah just called the Rio . They say they are sold out for most of the dates. They were going to charge me $420 for Aug 2nd LOL.

So they are looking into getting a few more rooms at a discount price but it won't be the same as the other offer...  I have heard that the Gold Coast which is right across the parking lot has room available at a reasonable rate.  If we get more rooms as a lower rate I will let you all know. Thanks

Thanks Ash. I dont mind if I don't get the original rate but $420 bucks for one night is a bit steep. I would hate to have to check out of the Rio for one night

I'm staying the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino. <a href="http://www.goldcoastcasino.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.goldcoastcasino.com/</a>  Its just around the corner from the Rio. there is a map that shows its location. I'll try to find it and post it up here. Currently its $364 to stay from the 1st and leave on the 5th. <a href="http://www.visitingdc.com/las-vegas/las-vegas-hotel-map.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.visitingdc.com/las-vegas...s-hotel-map.asp</a> here is the map, you will see the Rio and Gold Coast off to the right middle.

Thanks for the info Zegron. That is a great deal.  I was really hoping to stay at the same hotel as the Fan faire as this will probably be my last one <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> , but $420 for one night is a crazy. I just might have to check into the Gold Coast.

About half my guild, that can come, is staying at the GC. Its right there, and so much cheaper. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
