The $99 is preregistration fee for the conference. (That info is on the Gnomedex home page.) It looks to me like paying the $99 entitles you to the open bar during the conference. Conference room rate at Harrah's is $310 for the three nights.

It doesn't even sound like a real conference, (but what do I know) it sounds like they are getting you to pay $99 for a 3 day open bar. How many watered down drinks do you have to drink over the course of three days to get your $99's worth?

Maybe it's hot to an alcoholic that is local to the event and doesn't need to stay there?

Why don't you and 3 friends get together, pool the $99 each, go to the liquor store, and have enough alcohol to send yourselves into a coma.

Important tip: For bars that do time-based open bar specials, make sure you build up a good relationship with your server or bartender. Most places have limited staff on hand during open bar events so that it's pretty hard to get drinks. The key is to make sure that the waitress stops by your table more often and that the bartender picks your face out of the crowd.

Bah, you can get a drink just by shouting across the bar, "BARKEEP!" :)

Where is Club 1223? I might need to get likkered up cheap sometime, then go stumbling out into the gutter.
