I’m dreaming of a Lake Tahoe hotel. Not just any old joint, but a four diamond AAA place: Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Hotel. And I’m not dreaming about going there any old time, oh no… I’m thinking of the weekend of September 30th through October 2nd! You got it: GNOMEDEX 4.0! When Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Hotel will be bursting at the seams with Gnomies. But I’ve got to confess to something. I’ve never been to Lake Tahoe, either…

I did recently fly through the area for a conference in the gloriously gritty city of Reno. While the conference was wonderful, I kept thinking how much nicer it would have been if it were held in a hotel in Tahoe… which got me thinking. I know I need to get off my duff and reserve my room before the hotel is booked.

You’ll probably want to shop around and check out all of your lodging options

Of course Chris has lined up some great rates. Here’s some info I’ve cribbed from the conference Web site: Call 800.455.4770 to book your room and tell them code S09GNOM (You must say ZERO and not “O”) and you must say you are booking a room at Harvey’s in the Harrah’s complex and your rooms will be only $79, $79, and $149.

These rates represent massive reductions in the regular room prices.

After looking around, this sounds like a pretty good deal to me! Especially after I checked out the info from the Harrah’s Web site. The rooms in the Lake Tower are huge and the suites sound absolutely fabulous - not only that, I’m planning on staying in a suite, mind you… but if I just happen to hit that loose slot or a hot table…

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Speaking of suites and Lake Tahoe hotels, the cabbie that drove me from Reno to the airport had some outrageous stories to tell about Frank Sinatra, back in the day, but you won’t catch me writing about it. After all, I’m from Joisey. I know better… ;)
