The Novotel can have some good rates when the Accor sales are on. I am staying at the Novotel tonight, and got it for $99 (ok, excludes breakfast, but I can live with that). I think it may be wise to monitor the various sales that happen (the Hilton is the same, was there for $129 last night)

Yeah...the all-day breakfast at 2:00am is great after hitting the pubs!

Location fixed. But Kalgoorlie, for the foreseeable future, is a little different to LAS ,

Yeah....I guess going from the "Silver State" being Nevada to Gold country is the only "common" thing!

Put me down as a Gold. I did a long weekend trip to Perth a couple of weeks before the Canberra Oz Fest to catch up with the WASTED (Western Australian Snow Tragics Enjoying Downhill) crew and have a game of rugby with the Associates (Soaks) Rugby Club 4th grade team at Swanbourne. Hopefully I can combine the FT, WASTED and rugby next year.

What about Mwenenzi? Are you coming this [next] year?

I don't think I've seen you since an AFF [lots of] drinks night in 2009?

Checked out a few things while I was on one of my not so infrequent visits to Perth last weekend.

For those that like to hold on to a flexible booking, as a back up plan if all else fails, the Hyatt Daily rate for that weekend is currently $215 per night.

The Rydges (much closer to the Hilton), is $225 (or $203 for PriorityGuest members).

    Please add BiziBB + Mrs BiziBB as Platinum!

    Has everyone seen Virgin is offering SYD-PER for $129 one-way, all in, in May 2013? A decent fare, I think.
    Good luck with the link. Shorten if required.
