I just got back from the pre-Con meeting with the hotel and I have a few things to talk about!
1) The ENTIRE hotel is NON-SMOKING! The General Manager of the hotel wants to make sure that everyone is aware of this and it's not something they're just doing. This is a Sheraton mandate. Please understand that there are no smoking areas anywhere inside the building. They have arranged a smoking area outside for us (better than the Parking Lot Corral last year, not quite as good as the Chalet Patio), so that and the designated areas outside the lobby in the carport/breezeway areas are where you need to smoke. He wants me to remind everyone that smoking in your rooms will results in a $200 charge and smoking in the hotel area itself can result in the CON being fined, so please, don't get yourself (or us) in trouble?
2) Wired Internet access in the guest rooms for SimuCon Attendees is free but they wanted to say that when you log into the system, it may warn you of a charge. Just click "OK" to accept the charge, as it will be comped on your bill. If, by some chance, you get charged on your bill, they will (of course) take care of that when you check out. Wi-Fi access in the hotel itself is also free.
3) In addition to the Drunken Fish Discount, Ozzies Sports Bar will be offering a 10% Discount to participants of Simucon 2008. You will have to bring in a flyer that they printed up and gave to the hotel, but the hotel will make those available at check-in and if you need another, I'm sure you can pick one up.
4) Housekeeping wanted to let us know that while they have worked out a plan to not going to start cleaning rooms for your group until 2:00pm (they know we like to stay up late and sleep in), they will not have Housekeeping Services available to clean rooms after 4:00pm. If you have your Do Not Disturb sign out past 4pm, your room will not be cleaned until the following day (provided your do not disturb sign is not out)! However, you can always call for more towels, etc. and that will not be a problem to get them after 4pm.
I think that's it, for now!
We'll see you in a couple days!
