I have 3 other people with me and they had no interest in chips or the Riv. So I had to book somewhere we could afford and yet close. I also did not know that you had blocked rooms. You have to forgive me as I did not know this about the convention. This is my first time. When I go alone I will stay at the place the convention is held. Not everyone can afford that price either. I will be there a week. So I think you have to consider what plans other people have too.
