Is it me, or did the hotels which were anywhere near the convention center vanish over night?

I had to pull a few strings to get a hotel even .5 miles away.

No...Its not you. This year, I got nothing even close.

We set up ready for the open housing, just like we did last year. As soon as it was released we got our count down timer and immediately got our room...at the airport. UGGG. Last year we got the JW. I absolutely hate the new system they have set up.

I punted and rented a suite at the Carson through Expedia. Its far more expensive, but I can't be riding a shuttle every time I need to be at the Con.

Yeah, had I not had a strings to pull, mine was 10 miles away. This new system was insane.

I live like 20-25 minutes away so I won't be dealing with the hotels.
