Is anyone else looking to save some cash by staying a mile
or two away instead of right downtown?
To me, $126 a nite +tax is a LOT for a motel room.
Especially when I can find places within 4 miles for less
than $50 a nite + tax.
I can't believe that parking or a taxi will cost more than
$75 a day...
Maybe I'm just cheap, but the only time I've ever paid
more than $69 a night was for a special weekend away.

Re: [WISPA] KY show in April
Or you could look at the advantages of staying on location, supporting WISPA that went out of their way to get a location that would support the conference yet be affordable to the 500 mile radius that a majority of the WISPS are in. Or just accept that no matter what you do you can never satisfy everyone. Remember that any conference needs volume to get a reduced rate. Stay elsewhere and the numbers go down. Jmo.

Re: [WISPA] KY show in April
I have no problem with the $498 I paid to WISPA for the conference.
I have no problem with my yearly membership to WISPA. I think it is
worth every penny.
I am also one of those who has no interest in Vegas and who pestered
Rick for another Mid-West show like St. Louis. (Thanks, Rick!! And
for the next non-Vegas conference, let's be thinking
AL,AR,MS,OK,TN,TX. After all, Vegas as anchor pretty much covers
the west.)
But, I can't justify $126+tax for a room I'll be in 9-10 hours a
day, and asleep most of that! And that extra $250 is, well, $250.
I can think of a lot of things I'd rather spend $250 on than a room
to sleep in.
Maybe it is just a different way of looking at things. When we go
out on vacation, most of the time we are in Motel 6 or Super 8. We
drive and look at things and stop where ever things look
interesting.
Technically, this is work. I'm less likely to spend more on a motel
for work than for play!
And I am not complaining... I was just looking to see if I was
alone... Seems not.

Is anyone else looking to save some cash by
staying a mile or two away instead of right
downtown?
To me, $126 a nite +tax is a LOT for a motel
room.
Especially when I can find places within 4
miles for less than $50 a nite + tax.
I can't believe that parking or a taxi will
cost more than $75 a day...
Maybe I'm just cheap, but the only time I've
ever paid more than $69 a night was for a
special weekend away.
