Cube, make your check out to Steve Wasion. He's going to write a check for the full amount, once all entries w/payment are in. The info needed is on the form on page 2 or 3 of this thread. Steve will be filling out "official" registration forms to be sent with payment.
As far as hotel, the "host" hotel is the Executive Inn, Downtown. I hope we can all stay at the same hotel, but, the Exec is a little pricey (albiet "handy" since the even will be held on the downtown "walkway"). Perhaps Steve will be able to recommend something else. The Hotel Aztar is also downtown, but, I don't know what the room rate is. I'd supposed it'd also be a little pricey, expesially if you don't gamble on their riverboat.
