Our conference hotel in Las Vegas is almost full because we are getting
19% more registrations than last year. Book your room soon if you want to
stay at Caesar's Palace. Or relax: we are in the middle of the Strip, with
plenty of other big hotels in the area.
(No problems yet with rooms at our Amsterdam hotel.)
