Just curious where the bulk of folx are staying this year, looks like it'll be more spread out than in previous years. Mandalay itself has 3 hotels on the property.

I know a LOT of people who are staying at the Luxor - thats where I am and im not too thrilled about it...
The Mandalay was booked up so quickly... I know the Westin usually gets booked so I did it early, but usually the Venetian always has plenty of room - I believe I booked in October I think and the Mandalay was already booked - I was really shocked they were out of reservations, Im usually really good about those things... Rose tours was then putting everyone in the Luxor. |

Gary and i booked a 2 bedroom suite in the Luxor a few days ago.
The Mandalay was sold out so quickly because there are 3 other conferences happening at the Mandalay according to the catering manager ive been talking to there over the last few months. Not to mention the CES show AND the AVN show all happening around the same time as Internext. IMHO AVN really fucked up the planning of this Internext and, despite the venue change i think its going to have an even more adverse effect on the show in the long run. I know from my standpoint we wont be holding another Gay Webmaster Bash in Vegas so long as we have to go through the shows 'official' routes, just to damn complicated to get anything done in a timely fashion. Next year i think our Vegas events will take the form of a nightclub setting that we'll rent out for 3 nights or, we'll book up one of the hotels off the strip and do our own 'mini' show without the need for AVN and their redtape / political bullshit. |

We called VERY early, just a week or so after the location was announced, to try to get a suite in Mandalay. AVN had a block on them all, we were told the only way to get a suite was to buy a booth. We booked a suite next door at Luxor instead.
I understand their desire to make sure they get their cut of business that goes on as a benefit of them putting on the show. But if they wont offer what people want at a reasonable price level, they force them offsite or out of the show entirely in which case they get nothing instead of something. In our case, we do like to have a suite to go to in order to talk business in quiet, do shoots, or just socialize away from the zoo. But I have no need whatsoever for a booth, so trying to force me to buy one just to get the accomodations I want will not work. |

We have a suite at the Bellagio, told the same thing, if you were not exhibiting you could not get the suites. No worries for me, perfer the Bellagio anyway.

Mandalay for a few days, then Venetian.
Very hectic. The Florida show was a lot smaller, same happening to the Vegas show?

I've stayed at the 4 Seasons, and Mandalay Bay before. Not a big deal at all.
I'm trying the Luxor this time and I'm anxious about it. My father in law stays there on his trips to Vegas and says it's a great place but I've never even set foot in that hotel.

We decided to stay @ Excalibur this time. Why? Because everyone is going to be so damned spread out with this year's show that I figured why the hell not. Didn't want to deal with all the show crowds and Expo bullshit so we stayed a couple doors down.
Hoping that Mandalay at least has some decent stopping points to be able to see folks and get some networking done. From what I remember of the layout though, it won't be as advantageous as the Venetian was. For all the bitching that was done, the Venetian became "home base" for many of us over the years - we knew where everyone would be (Circle Bar or Grand Lux) and where to go to find everything. Oh well... hopefully the change will be good. Not holding my breath.

Luxor here. However, thanks to posts on Oprano a month or so ago about the Pyramid being noisy, decided to stay in one of the quieter and new Obelisks (towers) there instead.

I also have heard that it's nothing but Andy Williams and Perry Como being piped through the elevators and hallways in the towers. :P
