Hotel

We have negotiated a special hotel package with the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas for the nights of September 5th and 6th.  The Venetian is one of the newest and most luxurious hotels in Las Vegas, with spacious rooms, a phenomenal swimming pool and the largest shopping/restaurant concentration on the entire strip. 
 
Bella Suite 2 Queens, 1 Double 3 - 5 persons $179
Luxury Suite 1 King 2 persons $149

We have selected this room combination to offer you the greatest amount of flexibility.  Couples have the “Luxury Suite” option, while larger groups can choose a “Bella Suite” for $60 to $120 per person, for the entire weekend.

When booking a room, it is necessary that each group designate one person in charge, who will be responsible for the reservation process.  Please keep in mind that we have secured a limited number of rooms at the special group rate (for liability reasons), and that rates will go up once this block of rooms is sold out or after August 1.

Book your rooms now to guarantee a spot!  In order to book your rooms, please contact Kim Honsvick at 800-411-7070, ext. 103 (8-5 Pacific), or via email at kim@travelswitch.com

Please mention that you are calling about the MIT Class of 2000 Reunion. You will need to have your name, billing address, and credit card number ready.  Your credit card will not be charged until 2 weeks prior to your arrival.  If you have any further questions about the pricing or room reservations, please address them to Kim. Again, BOOK YOUR ROOMS EARLY - a point we cannot emphasize enough.
