Here's the shit thing about this - and it all boils down to money:

The Mandalay Bay website says they are SOLD OUT of rooms for Wednesday Jan 5th - and the prices for the rooms for the days before & after are already jacked up. So, unless you have a casino host already, you're stuck reserving your room thru Rose Tours.

Now, those of you that gamble a fair amount know that your room will NOT get comp'd if you booked it thru a travel agent, which means you have no chance of getting your room paid for, regardless of how much you gamble. I made this mistake the 1st 2 times I went to the Venetian. The last 2 or 3 times we went there, we booked our own, stayed a week or so & ended up getting most, if not all of our nights for free. I think last year I ended up getting 5 of the 7 nights for free, all my meals paid for & my mini-bar tab wiped clean. My bill for the week at the Venetian was just over $400 - you can't beat that with a fucking stick!

Hell - I spent a week at the Tropicana last year on vacation & my total bill was $46!!!

I really dread the thought of staying at another hotel during the convention, but I know I can get what will amount to a free room at the Venetian or Tropicana for this convention. The Trop might be the way to go, cause I can walk across the street & pick up the tram

Either way, this is just another money grubbing ploy in my book.
