The $89 room rate should take effect within a few days. I'll post an exact date when I get it.

Great great news. Thanks for the update - and NSBRadio.co.uk was coincidentally thinking about trying to do form an event involving that pool o_O

Given how much we slag the hotel, it is nice to hear that they are trying to deal with some of our requests despite their desire to pad out the bottom line as much as possible in order to keep the place afloat.

Kudo's to DT and anyone else who was involved in making any change for the better

Room prices have been dropped to $89/Day and should be reflected here soon:

If you booked under the old prices I _think_ the pricing will automagically be reflected in your bill as the new room block price.

as of 8PM here on the East Coast i was still getting the "$102 a night is the con rate... including before and after con in the mid-week time frame" line being held hard by their phone staff.

Nice work!

I was impressed when I heard they suspended the energy surcharge for Defcon. That was like $20-$30 per night 2 years ago.

Some initial RIV updates:

1 - Room prices have been dropped to $89/Day and should be reflected here soon:
http://www.rivierahotel.com/resnet/roomres.asp?ID=309
If you booked under the old prices I _think_ the pricing will automagically be reflected in your bill as the new room block price.

2 - We will get the pool to 11pm for swimming and hanging out. We can do low key DJ action till then. We are currently talking with them to determine how we can keep it longer.

3 - Drink prices on beer and booze have been reduced. I'll update this post when I have accurate information.

UPDATED: 5-5-2009: For the hotel and skybox parties, booze bought from the hotel has come down in price:
Beer, domestic, $2
Beer, imported, $3
Wine, $3
Mix drinks, $3 (I'm guessing at that price it's not top shelf)

Looks like a nice price drop!

I'll update this thread, the web site, and the FAQ once we get more confirmations!
