AN UPDATE ON HOUSING (March 25, 2004)
The deadline for obtaining hotel rooms at the conference rate has passed. The Mandalay Bay is now selling rooms at prevailing rates (currently $199-$269 depending on the night). There are rooms available at the Luxor and Excalibur -- both connected by monorail to the Mandalay Bay. However, AACRAO is not holding a block of rooms at these properties and rates and availability are subject to change.

Stay at the Mandalay Bay! The Mandalay
Bay is a deluxe, tropically themed luxury resort with mystical
architecture and lush surroundings. The hotel and convention center
is set on 60 acres on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. A
lush, 11-acre tropical water environment comprised of a sand-and-surf
beach, a lazy river, a variety of pools and a jogging track will
provide an elegant and relaxing experience for AACRAO 2004 attendees.
The Mandalay Bay is also home to the Shark Reef. Housing more than
2,000 animals of more than 100 species in a one-of-a-kind aquarium,
the Shark Reef takes visitors on a trip through an ancient jungle
temple where crocodiles creep and lizards lurk. Other popular attractions
include the House of Blues, Mamma Mia!, and more than 16 restaurants,
including Wolfgang Puck’s
Trattoria Del Lupo and Border Grill.
