It occurred to me last night that saying the I would be in the bar at Besh (the inhouse steak house) at around 5 PM on Monday assumed that there is a seperate bar in the restaurant, and that there would be seating available at that time, and a few other things.
Soooo, if I am not there around 5 PM and you are wanting to meet up on Monday early evening, please check this space for updates.
See you soon!

you have to play 30 minutes or earn 15 tier credits.
Sit at a slot machine and bet the minimum. Best way to
do that is sit at the casino bar and play 25 cent blackjack
on the video poker machine there.
You will break even or close to it and the 30 minutes will fly
by. You cant put a 20 in, play once and then sit 30 mins
though, they check. Play at least 1 hand a minute while
sitting there. The most you can lose is 8 dollars if you
lost every hand which wouldn't happen.
Before you start playing, make sure the machine read
your card or it wont count!

I think that you need to get a so called "players card" that will record how long you have played when it is inserted into the slots machine. The card is free.

Once you get that player's card, if there are Harrah's near any of the places you might travel on a route you will get good discounts on rooms.

Ooooooh great tips......will do those....
I'm not a happy camper.per this morning. The conference is over. I got to the airport in plenty of time (thanks to Austin Mom.) I ate breakfast and took my time getting to the gate. When I get to the gate I find out the plane was oversold and I find that I didn't have a seat. Now I'm stuck at the New Orleans airport and will not get home until after 3:00 PM. I was playing Bing on being home by noon.

they have to give you compensation for this, under
DOT rules updated last year and depending on when
you actually land, it could be substantial(thousand+). They may
not give it unless you ask for it though.

i just checked. If the airline gets you to your destination
more then 2 hours later then originally scheduled you get
400% of your ticket price to a maximum of 1300 dollars
if it is between 1 and 2 hours after scheduled arrival time,
then you get 200% of the ticket price.
you have hit the jackpot if they are getting you there 3 hours
or more as you stated! Congrats!
And whatever you do, dont accept free tickets for a future flight...

She was probably long gone by then. It looks like she got bumped around 10 or 10:30 and the later flight was getting her home after 3 instead of noon like she expected.

I had better luck and just got home. I am weary from today's trip but also energized by the great friendships and networking with forum members in NOLA.
And, Lisa, you are NOT authorized to forward pix of me with the gang in the bar.
Later I will post some news learned about new companies and opportunities at the conference. We had some new sponsors whose MS opportunities may intrigue many forum members. Some disappointments when it came to customer service at the hotel (so what is new about that?), and some news about the future of MSPA silver and gold certification. I will try to figure out what to name threads for various news items, but not until after wine thirty.

If we detailed for you just HOW poor the service was, you would probably soil yourself laughing. The lack of organization and poor communication truly amazed me.
How disappointing. My experiences with Harrah's hotels has been overwhelmingly positive. Maybe you should give us all time to pick up some Depends and then share the stories

I think there was a bit of poor communication on both ends (Harrah's and IMSC) about the parking garage, food discounts and conference room rates but the property/rooms itself were great. Overall, I thought the staff was very friendly and they did try to resolve the communication confusion.
The best part was the bond between forum members and other shoppers. SQUIRREL!
