With the next issue of the Club magazine a Convention Hotel reservation form will be included. I would like to remind everyone of the importance of staying at the Trop and the need to register through the Club block. The only way a Convention as small (by LV standards) as ours can get exhibit space at a reasonable rate is by our members staying at the Convention hotel.

I visited two hotels in LV last week which have just expanded their exhibit space and talked to them to see what kind of deal we could get from them if we decide to make a change for 2001. They would not even quote me a rate until they could obtain the room records from the Orleans for last year. That's how important room nights are to a Convention hotel.

Even if it means an extra few dollars a night I hope everyone will support the Club and stay at the Trop.

Thanks!
