T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Las Vegas Update: Last Week for Current
Registration and Hotel Rates + Water Night
Fundraiser to Follow Opening Night
Party
|
|
The
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Las Vegas conference
is just three weeks way and if you
are thinking about going to the highly anticipated
event, you can save yourself some money by
acting this week. The event that
runs May 29 - June 1 at the Bellagio
Hotel will be the first Las
Vegas show staged by T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard
Neu since 2008
(in a licensing agreement, Rick Latona staged
a January 2010
show under the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
banner at the city's Hard Rock Hotel).
Their Las Vegas shows have always been big
crowd pleasers and |
|
|
with
the world famous Bellagio hosting
for the first time, this one is bound to
be something special. |
In
a letter to the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. mailing list
today Schwartz announced the show's rights to a
block of discounted
rooms at the Belllagio ends this
week and the hotel is already 90%
booked for conference week. You may (or may not)
be still be able to get a room at the Bellagio
next week but it will cost you more. So will
show registration. Schwartz said this is the
final week before the rate rises by $200
to the $1,995 rate that will also be charged at
the door.

Water Night event in Los Angeles. |
I
will, of course, be in Las Vegas to cover
the show and hope to see you there as
well. In
a related note, representatives from The
Water School have scheduled a
special Water
Night Fundraising Party that
will get underway shortly after
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.'s big Opening Night
Cocktail Party concludes Wednesday
night, May 29. The T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
event will wrap up at the Bellagio around 8:30pm,
then attendees can move over to the PBR
Rock Bar (located on the same block
inside the Planet Hollywood |
|
Hotel)
for a party that is scheduled to run from 9pm
- 1am. A minimum $50 donation
is required for admittance to that event
(and many go beyond that). |
|
With
sponsor NameCheap.com
picking up the massive bar tab - 100%
of the proceeds make it to The Water School.
You can get your tickets here
and it is a good idea to get them in
advance. The first Water Night party
held during Webfest
Global in Los Angeles in
February drew a wall to wall crowd
for an event that raised $40,000
for the The Water School. |
