If you are not picky about MGM or Caesar's you may want to try doing the timeshare thing promotion at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club, which is next to the Flamingo Hilton, which is just across the street from Caesar's. Check out HGVC.com or maybe the Hilton home page. We own in Orlando and they are always sending us stuff to go preview the Las Vegas property. Not a bad trade for 90 minutes of your time AND it's not pressure-filled like Fairfield and some of the other's.

Who knows, you may even like it. When we bought they threw in 80,000 HHonors points. Each year when we go back they ask us for a little of our time for breakfast and 25,000 points.

If you have any other questions, e-mail me. Since CEMA is in town, you will be hard-pressed to find ANYTHING inexpensive and the bigger houses will fill first. Wait too long and you'll be paying $150 a night at the Motel Six down by the Tropicana.

Good Luck from the UNLV College of Hotel Administration Class of '83!

p.s. if you get in a jam, my mom would probably rent you a room in her big house, but she's closer to the Showboat than the Strip! LOL
