And, don't book at the last moment; the last time I stayed there, it was $80
a night. You can also stay cheaply in North Las Vegas, and ride a city bus
to the Sands, where you can pick up a convention shuttle. Las Vegas bus
service - particularly on Las Vegas Blvd - is quite inexpensive and regular.
ISTR paying $2 for a 24-hour ride pass the last time.

I'm still paying just $35 a night at the Motel 6 on Tropicana. It's clean
and quiet and has great Wi-Fi, a 24-hour shop that carries The New York
Times, and a 24 hour restaurant. They also encourage ordering in from other
restaurants. It's across the street from the MGM Grand for access to the
convention via bus or monorail.
Just bring your own shampoo and tissues.
TTFN,
Mark

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.

Looks like there is going to be congestion in the aisle at NAB this year.
Not surprising considering the economy, the loss of interest in trade shows
in general, and the drop-off in attendance at NAB in recent years.I suspect
that the drop-off will be far more dramatic this year, but happily I won't
be there to witness it.
Looks like the NAB has found the digital cliff...

LAS VEGAS HOTELS OFFER DISCOUNTED RATES
FOR 2009 NAB SHOW ATTENDEES
WASHINGTON, DC - Many of the NAB Show's official partner hotels in Las Vegas
have lowered rates by 20 to 40 percent below earlier offerings during peak
show dates between April 19 - 22, according to Expovision, NAB's official
housing-management partner. Shoulder night rates are also deeply discounted.
A sluggish economy, reduced tourism and higher inventory have allowed Las
Vegas hotels to reduce rates, presenting travelers with exceptional savings
even during peak convention dates. These early bird specials are subject to
availability and may require booking by January 30. Specific rates and
reservations are available at

"Attending the NAB Show has not been this economical from a housing
standpoint in decades," said NAB Executive Vice President of Conventions and
Business Operations Chris Brown. "We encourage attendees to take advantage
of these extraordinary rates and experience the tremendous value the NAB
Show offers."
