Hi, I remember Reno very well. It's the first COMMON where I ever spoke. A topic called "System Values". I wouldn't object to Reno, but we need small meeting rooms, and Ballies lacked this.

A conference fit within Ballys and was very enjoyable and affordable. They even arranged for the post conference weekend special rate of $75 for the entire week end. I The other problem was since COMMON attendees were not casino people, the hotels really jacked up the rates to recover revenue. COMDEX had horribly high hotel rates year after year in Vegas. And the city was one HUGE Traffic jam. Vegas is a great city for a conference At 04:54 PM 9/14/2004, Al Barsa wrote: >I have been to two COMMONs in Las Vegas.
