Personally -- I've stayed at the Bellagio twice for SEMA -- and I can tell you that it "ain't what it used to be" but either are the prices. I was thinking about me and 6 or so other Lat G guys just staying over at Todds place. We can save some money and help work on his car at the same time. He has plenty of cars and toys and stuff we can use. Kelli won't mind.
Seriously - I like Franks version... wait til you see the color of their eyes... Which is what I did for '09 since I didn't know I was going until about a week before - and got a pretty good rate on the room. Like others have said - check the SEMA site to see if your hotel has Private BUS SERVICE to the Convention Center... it's not "fast" but it's darn convenient... sit down and somebody drives your tired butt to the hotel door. Frankly - even the restaurants were easy to get into this year - vs '07 when we couldn't book a reservation anywhere and ended up with hot dogs and chips... This time around = due to the "recession" the restaurants would take you even if you called the "day of".
