Book A Room

Our Hotel block is sold out! If you are still looking for a room and don’t mind sharing it with someone, please consider using ConRoomies to find some crash space.

  • If you want host a party on the Hospitality Floor, please use the application form.
  • NO ELEVATORS? If you want to avoid elevators all weekend, please apply for the noisy floor! Party hosts have priority there, but everyone is welcome. You must be willing to tolerate noise and never issue noise complaints.
  • You will be charged a deposit for the first night when you book, which is refunded if you cancel the room later.
  • Your credit/debit card must have an expiration date AFTER the con.
  • To book by phone, call 1-800-648-5080 and use the booking code that reveals with the booking link above.
  • To book a suite, book by phone and give them our booking code. Suites in the Summit level are discounted 25%. Suites in the A Hotel are not discounted this year.
  • If you want a suite, book a regular room first during the initial rush, then call to have them convert it to a suite. That way you still have something if the suites are full.
  • If you want extra peace and quiet, please apply for the quiet floor. Volunteers have priority there, but anyone is welcome. This floor also offers a way to avoid elevators.
  • If you smoke, and can tolerate some noise bleed from the Hospitality Floor: please call the hotel and put in a request to be on the smoking floor. Every person we can put on that floor lowers the chance of the hospitality floor being hit with noise complaints.
  • Recreational marijuana is now legal in Nevada, but the hotel does not allow consumption or possession of marijuana on-property, in hotel rooms, or even in your car in the parking lot.

Room Types

Rooms also require a daily $25 resort fee which pays for wireless internet, an airport shuttle (runs every half hour), parking, bottled water in your room (refreshed daily). The resort fee (plus tax) is charged separately when you check in. There is also a $1 per day housekeeping tip charged to your room, which you can optionally have turned off at check-in. If you want to leave a bigger tip, you may still leave cash tips in your room.

Debit Card Users: please click here to read this
The hotel holds an extra $50/night from your card when you check in. If you check in using a debit card, this will reduce your available balance. It may take as many as 10 days after checkout to be returned to your account; your bank controls that, not the hotel. Tip: if you’re eating in on-site restaurants, charge to your room to utilize this tied-up money.
