    NFB: Hotel Info National Convention July 7 to July 12 Las Vegas
Greetings to all!
I have pasted the following information from the January, 2019 issue of the 
Braille Monitor.
Wanted to provide as rooms will be sold out extremely quickly and if you don’t 
hesitate, you can have a room at the Mandalay Bay and  avoid overflow 
hotels.
Warmly,
Joe

We care. We share. We grow. We make a difference

      The 2019 convention of the National Federation of the Blind will take
place July 7 to July 12, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, 3950 South
Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Make your room reservation as soon
as possible with the Mandalay Bay Resort staff only. Call 877-632-9001.
      The 2019 room rate of $99 per night applies to singles and doubles as
well as triples and quads. Hotel and sales taxes are 13.38 percent and 8.25
percent, respectively. The resort fee (normally $37 a night) will be waived
for NFB convention attendees. However, fees for internet access, local and
toll-free calls, and fitness center access may apply. The hotel will take a
deposit of the first night's room rate for each room and will require a
credit card or a personal check. If you use a credit card, the deposit will
be charged against your card immediately. If a reservation is cancelled
before Friday, June 1, 2019, half of the deposit will be returned.
Otherwise refunds will not be made.
      Rooms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations may be made before June 1, 2019, assuming that rooms are still
available. After that time the hotel will not hold our room block for the
convention. In other words, you should get your reservation in soon.
      Among its features is an aquatic playground called Mandalay Bay Beach
which has real sand, a wave pool, and a lazy river. The hotel is also home
to an aquarium with more than 2,000 animals including sharks, green sea
turtles, and a Komodo dragon. Plus, it offers top-notch entertainment
including Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil.

The schedule for the 2019 convention is:

Sunday, July 7              Seminar Day
