I'm at 50 days tomorrow, so will let you know soon. I did just find this in the fine print. Not looking good. Maybe they just changed it?? I really thought they didn't block off rooms.

I can't complain too much, as some hotels are more generous ;-)
I have noticed a situation like yours that I initially chalked up to a room type limitation, but I'd never seen that happen before at that property - I actually ended up coming to the conclusion that it was a minimum days stay issue, but I didn't have any facts to back that up. One night cash was going for $2500(!) for a $50/nt property, two days was unavailable, and three nights was $150/nt as I recall.
I should have taken the three night cash deal, NYE ended up quite a mess for me ;-)
