Default Las Vegas Tequila Fest 2009

I see that this year's event will be held on Sept. 11th and 12th at the Rio Hotel & Casino, the same location as last year. I was not able to attend last year however I am contemplating making the trip this year along with Mrs. totallytequila (hopefully President Obama will come through with the anticipated tax relief check!) Anyway, for those of you who attended last year's event, I would appreciate any tips on the ticket pricing for both days, is the Rio a decent hotel to stay for the event? Do you remember any combined festival/lodging package deals offered by the hotel? Has anyone out there from tequila.net already decided to attend? Any suggestions would be great!

I do remember some package deal for room rates. However, I was very disappointed with the Rio and will not be staying there if I go back this year. They need to overhaul that place badly!

Thanks for the heads up tv. I'm hoping to not have to go real low budget on this trip but I will look around for some other airline/hotel package deals that do not include the Rio as a place to stay.

If it is helpful, the Rio has a shuttle several times daily to and from its sister properties. It is part of Harrahs. Harrahs have several on the strip properties. This way you can attend the Tequila event and not be tied to the Rio. It is off the strip a ways.

This is helpful if you are flying in and have no car. Even if you did, driving along the strip and to the hotels is a b#*%.

You can take the shuttle even if you are not at a sister property and get off faily close to where you are staying. Just remember if a hotel is directly next to another it is still a long walk.

I usually do this when I stay at the Rio (which I do not prefer). I get the shuttle to the strip and visit the casinos I enjoy.

Hope this helps

Mr. A,

are you going to be displaying at this years Tequila Fest?

I know it isn't for another 5 months, but any members planning on attending? I really want to go this year, but I need to rework some other travels to make it.

Yes, planning on going to LVTF. Not sure of my involvement yet, but I'm trying to get all of that figured out.

I did check on prices through orbitz last weekend, and it is a great time to book a flight and hotel in LV. The LVTF gets a decent price for the Rio to pass along, but you can beat that price all day long right now.

I have had tickets the last 2 years, so I expect they will give me a stack again for Tequila.net members.
