I say that on line for Phoenix. I am out of town and can’t really see 
the spreadsheet in total so I did not see that they were only charging 
you $20. I hope for the convention they are dropping the resort fee like 
Red Rocks did for us in Vegas.

Live Free!

Robert,

Where are you seeing a $40 resort fee? Two properties are charging a 
$20/day resort fee, the Arizona Grand and Harrah’s Atlantic City. There 
are no resort fees at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans or the Hyatt Regency 
Bellevue.

Sandy,

Question about resort fees. I assume Phoenix will waive their obnoxious 
$40 plus a day fee right? Any others we need to be aware of?

Live Free!

I don't know. Let's see if Robert Kraus or Alicia Mattson knows. 
Otherwise I expect one of them can ask HelmsBriscoe that question.

    Mr. Executive Director:

    Are the hotels in Atlantic City and Phoenix also charging us daily
    resort fees in addition to the room rates listed in the

    summary section of the spreadsheet?

    See attached spreadsheet from Helms Briscoe (and email below), plus
    a spreadsheet on Oklahomafrom Robert Kraus.

    In summary:
    1. Phoenixconvention hotel will be $189 per night for the sleeping
    rooms. Free meeting space. $1,000 food and beverage minimum (so
    we'll probably do something like pay for your lunch and coffee to
    reach that $1,000 minimum).

    2. OKC hotel will be $82 per night for sleeping rooms. Free meeting
    space. Free breakfast. No Food and beverage minimum.

    HOWEVER, Robert Kraus noted to me from his vacation today in
    Miamithat: "Also we do not have to hold the meeting at the
    Phoenixlocations to see them. We can have the CVB send us a van to
    take us to the 2 locations under consideration and stay at the
    Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport North again for about $119-129
    a night. . "

    Thanks,

    --Wes

    Robert,

    Attached please find the completed Hotel Availability Report showing
    those hotels that have the Feb 20-21 Board Meeting dates available. 
    Of the five properties selected to receive the RFP, four of them
    have availability and have offered a proposal.

    The attached report has three tabs.  Tab 1 is an overview of each
    hotel’s offer showing room rates, meeting room rental and F & B
    minimum. Tab 2 is an in-depth, detailed breakdown of each property’s
    proposal and Tab 3 shows the lone property that turned down the RFP
    due to no guestroom availability. By the way, initially the Hyatt
    Regency Bellevue also turned down the RFP but has since come back
    with availability due to being able to offer alternate meeting space.

    Once you’ve had an opportunity to review each property’s proposal,
    please contact me with any questions that you may have. Each of them
    sharpened their pencil the best that they could and each of them in
    anxious to earn your business. I look forward to your feedback.
