Hi list

Have been checking hotel rates and I found that Laughlin Nevada has
$25/night Sunday-Thursday and $49/night Friday and Saturday rates during the
Cloud's jamboree with special rates for vendors at some hotels.

Its too late I'd think to change from Tucson to Laughlin for the upcoming
show, but for 2007, I'd like to see some serious thought put towards the
move of the meteorite show.

Cloud's jamboree has long been a major rock and gem show and combined with
the G&LW wholesale show, it provides for many vendors and buyers from around
the world, not to mention the tourist trade.

With many (thousands) of rooms just in the casino hotels, nearby Kingman and
Needles also offer hotels and an easy commute, finding a place to stay
shouldn't be the problem like at Tucson

The only drawback is flights which either put you into Kingman or Las Vegas.
But still, would be minor when a flight and car to Nevada are under $400 r/t

Mark.
