What is sad is that NAB Housing rates are 3 to 4 times the current
Vegas Market rates. It's possible to book outside the convention and
save literally hundreds of dollars.
That's not exactly good business by the NAB looking out for its members.
I was a little put off last year to discover that attendees at a
Tattoo Convention paid less than half what I had paid at the same
hotel.
