I tried calling Harrah's today and they gave us $25 per room @ 15% room tax if I lock it in by next week because I guess the rates are going up all over Laughlin as is evidenced below. For anyone new to this trip, the group on the Summer and Winter trip generally stays here but I have other options listed below. Mind you these are group rates and not single. What I need is the massed to commit to one place or the other because I have to set up a contract with the hotel and sign it. Once that's done I'll get the group rate for these prices and you can book your own rooms, but the rates are guaranteed.
In the interim I called The Colorado Belle and Edgewater. They are both the same business but side by side. Free secured parking, restaurant, yadda yadda and it appears to be about the same rating as Harrah's. The Belle is a little older but I've heard people have been satisfied when staying there. What they will do is give us rooms at the Belle for $20 or the Edgewater for $22 w/added sales tax of 12%.
The Aquarius which is a bit more fancy but has lots of different eating options is $44.99 w/12% room tax. They said they can have security do a little extra patrolling on our vehicles. Parking is free but I will need to put in a down deposit for the rooms.
I wanted to see what you guys thought?.... I would like to be able to wrap this up with a decision by say Thursday the 17th so please pass the word along to the guys you know that are attending.
Thanks
