They now have a Culver's right next to the con site! Not White Castle but it is better than McD's |

I suspect things have changed a little since then Some parts might have, other parts look very dated and probably are still from the 70's There is a Hilton Garden Inn that is a little closer and more modern looking. No convention rate AFAIK but you get a nicer hotel. |
| charles popp | 22 Mar 2013 5:39 a.m. PST |
Steve really ,what isn't better than McDonalds?
I got Culvers here. I forgot also down the road is Portillo's. |

As usual Mr Elmo gets it wrong. The Tower rooms in the Pheasant Run resort have been recently remodeled, they have mini fridges and microwaves. They have the room rate, Hilton does not give us any room deals. So if you want to pay more for a Hotel that looks more modern the choice is yours. |
| KSeward | 22 Mar 2013 2:12 p.m. PST |
The convention room rate at Pheasant Run is $99.00 USD per night. The Hilton Garden Inn is $126 USD per night for the same dates according to their web site. If I can have an extra $54.00 USD to spend in the vendor's area it looks like a win / win to me. Since all I plan to do in my room is sleep and shower in the morning, I'll take the money, please. |
| charles popp | 23 Mar 2013 6:53 p.m. PST |
126 wow, I got mine for $85. USD I guess that is what you get for booking early. I bet the rate at hotles.com is better than that. |

Time is running short, so make sure you book your rooms at the Pheasant Run Resort while the room block is open. |

I am trying to get my gaming partner to donate a full brigade of the Iron Brigade he just had done last year because he just got them redone again. This is I think the third time. |
| deleted222222222 | 04 Apr 2013 7:37 a.m. PST |
That would be great. I have a few Items that I am putting in the auction, and have a nice book that was donated by Keith Rocco, also a few others have said they have some stuff to put in the auction as well. |
