According to the World Market Center, preparations for the July 2006 Las Vegas Market are well underway and attendees have several new hotel selections to choose from, including three new convenient properties in the neighboring downtown area. Exhibitors and attendees can now go online to book hotel rooms at discounted rates from $56 using the real-time reservation system at www.lasvegasmarket.com. The Summer Las Vegas Market is being held July 24 – 28, 2006 at World Market Center and the Pavilions and July 25 – 28, 2006 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of a continued effort to offer additional nearby, discounted hotels, Market officials are excited to announce the California Hotel, Four Queens and Main Street Station have joined the lineup of host hotels. These downtown hotels offer tremendous value to attendees and are just blocks away from World Market Center. In addition to great rates as low as $60 per night, these hotels are also including a complimentary breakfast buffet when you stay at their property to maximize value and convenience to guests. “It’s very important for us to build strong relationships with our hotel operators so that we can extend great options, from high-end suites to value accommodations at discounted rates, to our Market attendees,” said Briana Mackey, Show Director at World Market Center. “We are very pleased with the hotel lineup for the July Market and in particular with the new downtown properties we were able to bring on board to strengthen our overall program.” The following listing represents the Las Vegas Market hotel partners: Center Strip Properties (Paradise between Sahara and Spring Mountain) -Courtyard by Marriott – $105** -Las Vegas Hilton – $139 -Marriott Suites – $119** -Renaissance – $139 -Residence Inn Las Vegas Convention Center - $109** -Sahara – $56 **Non-gaming properties Strip Properties (Las Vegas Blvd. between Spring Mountain and Russell) -Aladdin – $119 -Bally’s Las Vegas – $90 -Bellagio – $179 -Caesars – $159 -Flamingo Las Vegas – $80 -Paris Las Vegas – $110 Downtown Las Vegas -California Hotel – $60* -Four Queens – $65* -Golden Nugget – $105 -Main Street Station – $60* * Breakfast buffet included In order to ensure the best availability, we encourage all attendees to book their hotel rooms early. World Market Center has once again partnered with ITS, a full-service, one-stop travel and housing provider, to negotiate custom room blocks and rates at approximately 16 hotel properties. The rates will not fluctuate throughout the week, nor is there a minimum stay at any of the properties. For added convenience, attendees will not be charged at the time of the booking. Instead, it’s known as a “pay as you stay” policy which means guests will pay upon check-in. Up to five rooms can be booked through the real-time reservations system online at www.lasvegasmarket.com. ITS will also work closely to customize larger blocks of rooms for exhibitors and buyer groups who have broader needs. Registration for the upcoming Las Vegas Market will be available online beginning April 3, 2006. To book a hotel room, please visit our website at www.lasvegasmarket.com or call 800-974-9833 (Mon-Fri., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST).W
