What a waste of time to spend checking and logging in into a website that has been locked down for fear that their server will crash. Not a single page or link will load now, even their customer service link will not lead you to anywhere.

They have shut down the server
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
This will take off the load, hopefully at zero hour they will put it back.

be patient
I think one of the main reasons LHW asked people to pre-register with their email addresses was to get a good idea of how many would be trying to access this offer and purchase bandwidth accordingly.
Getting highly increased server capacity for a website is VERY expensive (just ask Amazon how many hundreds of thousands they pay in the run up to christmas) so Im assuming LHW is paying through the nose for it only for 80 minutes, BUT not one minute more (i.e. not BEFORE the promotion starts).

Let's hope you are right est gratuite. I hope all of you on the board get the hotel you are wanting, I think it's going to be quite the feat... I have all my possible date combinations here and I hope I will even get an opportunity to key them in, let alone access the damn site...
