That is correct from what they told me. 3 months of the year they do not give the quantity discount due to room demand.

Bob & Steve-

SteveO said:
The reservation is listed under "Fastlane Meetup". The rate is at $159 per night. This rate will reduce slightly if we get 10 rooms. I have blocked out 10 rooms for us but we may not need that many.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Above is SteveO's post about this.

Yep, that was what I saw on their webpage. When I called to setup the rooms, the deal was different. I did post a correction after that initial statement.

Sorry for the confusion.

PS: Speed for Russ/Steve for taking the bull by the horns!

lol. Keep in mind MJ that there are a lot of us here that define a fun weekend as helping a friend remodel a kitchen for beer! You throw in some Cubans and I'm sure Russ will be at your door at 8am!

I would like to go, but cannot make the commitment at this time. The challenge right now is my budget. My budget will change, I just don't know when, or if it would be in time to go. How late would it be possible to still go? Up to the last minute or is there a cut off?

So are we meeting up mid-morning on the 7th- and are we meeting up at all on the 9th? Meaning, should I get to town on the 6th, and plan on leaving late afternoon on the 9th? I want to soak up every drop of knowledge and time with you guys- so let me know what you're thinking as far as meet up times (formal and informal).

Thanks!

Question: How long will it take all of you to get from where you live, to the hotel?

If you are driving, I'm guessing you'll be coming in the night before (or coming part way, then driving the rest).

Reason I ask:

If we have enough folks with 3 hr or less flight times and would do a morning flight, we could have the following schedule:

Friday: 2 pm-7pm at the hotel, then dinner. Ideas: Cashflow workshop (similar to Les's REST workshop, but more focused on cashflow strategies and incorporating your own plan into the game play).

Saturday: 9 am-6 pm Presentations, both 15 min ones and the longer SteveO arranged talks

Sunday: 9am to noon (so those that want to fly back on Sunday can do this).

Sunday: afternoon- apartment tours and other fun investment-oriented activities for those that stay. :)

Total time:

Fri: 2pm-7pm
Sat: 9am-6pm (6pm-9pm dinner, 9pm-whenever for the night owls!)
Sun 9am-12pm Wrap up sessions

**********OR**********

Friday-- we can start EARLIER (like 9 or 10am) if everyone flying would get in the night before (Thursday).

Let me know what you want.

-Russ H.

Thanks Russ. I am scheduled to arrive at 1:55 at the airport on Friday. Scheduled to leave 11:20 Monday morning. A Friday afternoon thing is OK by me. I'll get there as soon as I can.

Well, I booked my flight... I'll be landing in PHX around noon. I will be leaving Monday at 2:00 pm.

Yves, thanks for the heads up, now I know I should not make fun of her during the meetings ;)

Russ, andviv, Steve, or anyone...do you happen to know if our entire block of reserved rooms is taken at this time? Called today to see about reservations and they had nothing under "Olafson" or "Fastlane Meetup." Just wondering what our status is...thanks

I know I booked my room outside of the group.
It's the same rate, so there's no big reason to use the group.
Try that, and see if there's availability.

I should have said also that I asked about room availability outside the reservation and they said they were booked for nights of March 7 & 8...

There does seem to be confusion among the people at the hotel. They are showing "fastlane meetup" as the room code, but they are unable to cross reference the code to pull up available rooms.

I just booked my room yesterday and they had availability- however, they made it very clear that they are booking fast and March is a busy month for them.

Worldwide, depending on the month.
Tried to book my room today and they were all full, when I asked about rooms under "fastlane meetup" they transfered me to an extension for someone named Anita and I had to leave a message.

Does anyone have any updates or insight into the hotel situation?
