Kong Off 3 Hotel Arrangements Thread!!!

[marinomitch13]

We need to start planning some hotel arrangements now for the people that will be coming from overseas and need to start booking things to save every little $$$ they can. Post as needed below with your various situations/plans so that others can coordinate with you! Thanks!



I'll say up front that I am willing to room with anyone that wants to, and that I would like to room with as many people as possible to lower the costs as much as possible. I would be completely fine sleeping on the floor if we ended up getting that many people in our room. I would prefer to stay at the Crown Plaza, which was the main hotel suggested for last year's Kong Off. I found that hotel to be great, as long as you have a full room (or fuller) to split the costs.

Ok, maybe I could drive to Mitch's house and then we could car pool.

[marinomitch13]

Sorry, I'm probably (like 75% sure) flying. But let's keep in touch, cuz if you get desperate, I'm sure we can make something work. I have my friend Alex coming with me, and he is into theological/philosophical stuff (much like we are) so if we drove, it would make for some sweet conversations!

EDIT: Another thing is, I'm gonna be going to Denver a few days early to make sure everything is a-okay with Vince and my DK manuals that we will be selling during the KO3.

I will just stay in a room with you Mitch. Anyone else thinking about Hotal Arrangements?

[Bliss1083]

Yeah I'll sleep in my car. In November weather. In DENVER! Lol. Just joking.

[marinomitch13]

Sounds good, Corey!

Anyone else is welcome to join our room. Once we get 4, we'll book a room, but we'll still be open for more people to join in to lower costs even further! (I can sleep on the floor, if need be)

I want to be clear here. I have no desire to stay in a hotel with 3 dudes especially if one of those dudes is engaging in any kind of burrito eating contest. I just want to know how much I would have to chip in to FORCE you to sleep in the floor beside an empty bed or preferably sleep in the hallway? Wait! scratch that. How much to get you to sleep in the lobby and yell at the front desk receptionist to keep it down every time they try to do there job?

[danman123456]

I'm cool with that. Only issue is the crown plaza was only giving "the rate" for those 3 days which doesnt work for me. I was going to fly out on Thur and Fly back on monday (Otherwise I get in late Friday and have to leave early sunday missing the awards/etc). I'm game to share a room to help save the cost.

On Hotel Arrangments Jourdan is Teaming up with hotel management for discounts for the hotel in denver.. contact jordan i think..

[marinomitch13]

Ok, I'll be booking my room at the Crown Plaza this week for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night of the KO3 week. I will be trying to find a different place to stay on Wednesday night, since I will be arriving Wednesday afternoon.

Please respond here if you want to be in my room, as well as what nights you want to use the room. You only have to split costs for the nights you will be using the room (i.e. If there are 3 guys in the room on Thursday night, the cost for that night is split 3 ways... but if there are 4 guys on Friday night, that night is split 4 ways).

So far these are the people I know of for sure (please confirm as well!):

-Mitchell Elliott..............(Thurs-Sun night)
-Corey Chambers..........(Thurs - Sun night ?)

I'll be editing this list as people are added.

I would assume that there is shuttle bus service that runs from Denver International Airport to the hotel. How much does it cost (I am too cheap to pay for a cab) and does it run all night? I am arriving early Friday morning at around midnight.

Thanks

[mikegmi2]

Yea, I forget the name of the shuttle service, but you pay 1 price at the airport (I think $20 or something, it wasn't bad), and you get a ticket for the shuttle to drop you off, and then pick you up and bring you back to the airport.  For me, I got picked up around 2:30am when the 1up closed, and went straight to the airport for an early flight last year.  So yea I think the shuttle runs at all hours...and they'll pick you up from pretty much anywhere.

Mitch I think you may be out of luck for rooms...or at least no more rooms at a discounted rate.  The football game and other events that weekend made for a much busier downtown Denver weekend this year, I believe.

Mitch I had intended on staying with you and thought you had the room already?
If you haven't booked the room yet might be a problem as I hear there are not discounted rates left?!?

I just checked Hotels.Com
The Ramada is 2 miles away and $74 a night right now and La Quinta Inn Denver Central is 0.85 miles away and $87 a night.

I will be there Wednesday - Monday. Check-In Wed - Check-Out Monday

Want to book this now?
