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