We know that budgets are tight this year, and wanted to share a cost-saving strategy with you.  You can reserve rooms at Caesars Palace for less than the Forum’s negotiated room rates for the CBM conference.  However, the lower rates are only available on the Internet through Caesars Palace Hot Deals.

The rates will vary according to the day/time; the hotel controls the inventory based on total occupancy.  Today, for example, a Classic Room is available for $150, as compared to our rate of $229.  The Palace Tower Deluxe room is available for $210, as compared to our rate of $289.  NOTE: the meeting rooms are in the Palace Tower , so the Palace Tower rooms are closest to the meeting rooms.

Again, these rates are only available online, and are not available through the “call in” reservations number.  Therefore, if you are successful in obtaining the lower rates online, and if you have already reserved a room online, you will need to call and cancel your other reservations.  The number is 800-634-6661.

We understand that this is not “ideal.”  The hotel, however, has little experience with conference rates that are more expensive than the Internet rates.  Our conference, unfortunately, is one of the first to encounter the situation.  So, they won’t allow us to lower our conference rates.  As the Internet rates fluctuate, they are hoping that the total hotel occupancy will be high enough soon so they can increase their Internet rates.

So ACT FAST for the best rates!
