*****One of the worst people ive ever spoken to on the phone with, beware. I initially made a reservation here and thought i was GOLDEN and set, right when i went to hang up i remembered i never gave her my credit card #. So i called the hotel itself, NOT THE 1-800 NUMBER LISTED HERE, and provided my confirmation number and she said "NO You definitely do not have a room, you're on a waiting list for your MLG group rate because it's sold out, and if you choose to stay here without this rate if it remains sold out your reservation goes from the waiting list to the hotel's normal rate per night of 249.99 plus tax" So needless to say i told her cancel my reservation 100% right now, email me cancel confirmation right now, I DO NOT WANT YOUR ROOMS.

Post your experiences for others to help out because imo there will be many many people who will wait last minute and have bad experiences

Priceline.com, "name your own price" ftw. I've had nice 4 star hotels @ under a c-note. Though I never cared for such establishments, as they tend to nickle and dime you on just about every little sundry item. 3 1/2 stars is what I shoot for if I boogey out of town for a rendezvous. Added bonus, ye don't have to speak to a living soul.

Thanks for the tag @CrimsonShadow and for the post @AK Pig Of The Hut! I will try to book a room later on tonight after I get home from work at the same hotel and will book a room for 4 and see who is interested in sharing accommodation...

Just called and booked the same hotel as you @AK Pig Of The Hut with a standard 2 double bed room! Lady was extremely friendly and helpful! Will wait for you at the airport as I believe I arrive at 2 pm to LAX on the Thursday 19th and head to the hotel from there if that's ok with you... I'll grab more details closer to the date
