John Wolz

The online rate for the general public at Bally�s Hotel dropped to $49 per night after Bally�s lowered its fastener show rates for the 2002 National Industrial Fastener Show/West to $99. \
The pretax rate for Tuesday through Thursday nights (arriving November 19 and departing November 22) now totals $147 by registering at ballys.com.
The $49 promotion was valid as of October 8. Prices are subject to change.
The $49 rate could boost attendance as it totals a $309 savings from the original price.
Show management negotiated a lower room rate at the connecting Paris Hotel from $172 per night to $139.
Show participants who have already registered at higher prices must contact the hotel in advance for the new fastener rate. Paris can be contacted at 888 266-5687 or 702 967-3836 and Bally�s at 800 833-3308 or 702 739-4111. Or they can cancel their rooms and rebook at ballys.com.
The official fastener rate decrease came after an article in the September 10, 2002, Fastener Industry News on �How to Cut Costs at Las Vegas,� showed Bally�s rooms were cheaper by registering online at ballys.com.
�We welcome this substantial drop in rates as a significant cost savings for our attendees and exhibitors alike, and are grateful to the management of Paris and Bally�s for working with us to help maximize participation in our event,� general manager Gloria Crase said.
The show will be November 21-22, 2002, at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. The Hall of Fame luncheon, conferences and opening reception will be on November 20.
The deadline for registering to attend at the $30 advance discount price is October 19 ($50 later).
