   2. Not sharing a room: If you specify that you do not want to share a room, you will need to make your own room reservation and pay for your own room costs. To make your room reservation directly, you need to call the hotel's toll-free number 888-266-5687, or 702-967-4431, and refer to our group code (SPACP0).

   Option to Arrive Earlier/Depart Later: The group rate will be honored three (3) days before and three (3) days after the room block dates, subject to availability: If you desire to come in prior to your scheduled meeting time or stay over Sunday, you will need to make your own reservations for those nights, and pay the hotel directly.
