I won't be able to make it in Oct but would love to be there for April. I've never been to the Spring version of the DO.

I’d be tempted, but it’ll be another couple weeks before I can definitively say yes/no.
As long as Crank and Boom, and Ethereal are open, I’m down.
There still appears to be wide open award space at the Hyatt which should clock in at 6k/nt for those of us that are Hyatt CC holders.

EDIt: Cash prices insanely high.

Hyatt
Note, it depends on when it October. That promotion ends 8 Oct. They did delay bumping it up a category until 2021 though. I'm not sure if that goes into effect on 1 Jan or sometime later in the year, but it should be possible for us to book at the 8k rate for April.

New Hyatt/AA promotion as well. It's targeted, possibly to AA elites only. I got it as AA Gold/Hyatt Explorist. My wife doesn't have AA status but is also Explorist, and she wasn't targeted. https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/e...ple-miles.html
“We're Sorry
You are ineligible for this offer. You can click here to view other available World of Hyatt promotions.“I already get 1 AA mile per Hyatt $1 and vice versa. And they gave me AA EXP free and that got extended another year. Hard to complain

When does the new Hyatt promo start? There's a period of a couple weeks about now that's between very similar promos.

Is Lexington expecting protests to spill over from Louisville?

So it looks like we have a few people wanting a change of scenery and to come to LEX Oct 3 weekend. Keeneland is closed, not sure about distilleries, but I am sure we can find something to do.
Looks like 4 so far
I will likely stay at the Hyatt Place for the 25% points back. I plan to arrive Sat morning and likely will stay until Monday or Tuesday.
LEX is a 7500 AA mile destination in 4Q.
