I am ok with whatever price the hotel is!! Is the OMNI the one? If so, how should we go about booking rooms? Sorry if this has already been mentioned! My eyes started to blur after reading 10+ pages of posts!!
Also, Jackie, can you post a list of the confirmed to date?
Thanks,
Danny

I would think we'd want to do it locally to wait for all the traffic to die down so we can leave in time to get to Hillsboro to make the meeting time.

No need to pass me the number. As soon as you get your certs, let us know as we may have everyone who has these certs call in and reserve the rooms at 50% off. But I will already have rooms on hold for us at the AAA rate. We can just compare the price difference and we all may not be able to book with that cert during that weekend if they catch on.

Great!!
I just booked 5 Exec Suites at $309 each night. They say that we can only have 5 per room. ;-) sure, we'll do that.
Each room has 2 bedrooms with a dining and living area. So, that means we'll have plenty of room. There are not many nonsmoking rooms left for the deluxe and they looked pretty small, so I figured we could squeeze more people in the exec suites and come out ahead.
We should plan on a back up hotel for any stragglers. There are a couple of other hotels, not as nice as Omni, but still close to 6th. LaQuinta and Radisson are 4/5 blocks from 6th.
Ok, must pack car and head back to Dallas

If they have two bedrooms per, I would be willing to share with another couple. My wife is coming so the more "rowdy" bunch would be a little too much as far as sharing a place goes.
