NFBC Room Block Now Available At The Mirage: BOOK NOW!!

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:44 am

Okay, we finally have our room block for the NFBC Las Vegas live events at the Mirage. We have a limited number of rooms each day set aside for us at this point, so book your rooms ASAP because you're not going to find a better deal in Las Vegas for March 23-26.

Click on the link below, pull down to Attendee and then select the dates that you want to stay at the Mirage. Then pick the kind of room you want:

https://book.passkey.com/go/FNFBC0323MI

Our room block is for Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, but I see there are special prices for NFBC attendees before and after those dates. Here's the nightly price per room before the Resort Fee or taxes:

Thursday, March 23rd - $95 (it is also $95 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 20-22)
Friday, March 24th - $195
Saturday, March 25th - $315
Sunday, March 26th - $95
Monday, March 27th - $95
Tuesday, March 28th - $125.80

This is going to be one of the busiest weekends of the year in Las Vegas as Taylor Swift is playing at Allegiant Stadium on Friday and Saturday night, while T Mobile Arena will be hosting three Sweet Sixteen NCAA games that same weekend. Hotel rates are high everywhere on the Strip, so if you want to stay at our host hotel AND at a good rate please secure your rooms NOW!!

You do NOT have to stay at the Mirage to compete in our Las Vegas live events. If you have better arrangements, that's great. But this is a great price and all of our events will be in the Grand Ballroom of the Mirage Convention Center. We also are going to host the Friday Night Midnight Madness party/draft in a special restaurant/bar on the casino floor that should be EPIC!!! You'll easily be able to stumble back to your rooms after that one!! :lol:

Join us for our 20th anniversary drafts and auctions in Las Vegas at the beautiful Mirage and stay there with us. But take my advice and book your travel plans early and your rooms even earlier. Prices will just go up and up and up the closer we get to March.

Here's the Las Vegas Schedule of Events for March 23-27:

Thanks all and I'll see you there.

Beautiful! I am booked!

I just checked in with the Mirage and we already have over 160 room nights booked for our NFBC Weekend March 23-27. We have reserved less than 300 total room nights, so don't delay if you plan on coming to the Las Vegas live events. Our room block is affordable and available right now.

We have close to 40 rooms reserved already on Friday and Saturday, which is more than half of the rooms we requested for those nights. My goal is that they will keep rooms available through February 15th even if we go over our room block, but you never know. They are discounted for us and there's no guarantee that we'll have more after we reach our goal.

If you know you're coming to Las Vegas, secure your flights and rooms NOW!!! It's going to be a crazy weekend in Las Vegas. Thanks everyone and I'll see you there.

Okay, try this new link for the Mirage room block:

https://book.passkey.com/go/FNFBC0323MI

Our room block is for Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, but I see there are special prices for NFBC attendees before and after those dates. Here's the nightly price per room before the Resort Fee or taxes:

Thursday, March 23rd - $95 (it is also $95 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 20-22)
Friday, March 24th - $195
Saturday, March 25th - $315
Sunday, March 26th - $95
Monday, March 27th - $95
Tuesday, March 28th - $125.80

The Mirage officially changed ownership on December 19th and thus our old link is no longer working. Use this one now. Thanks all and we'll see you in Las Vegas in three months.

Okay, I heard from the Mirage yesterday and we have topped our goal of room nights at the Mirage for our group. All of the rooms that we requested to hold for our event have been reserved and in fact we've gone above that total.

The Mirage will allow reservations under our room block through February 15th at the discounted rate that they have offered us, but don't wait much longer to secure your rooms. There's no guarantee going forward that they will have rooms available for us, so book NOW if you know you're coming to Las Vegas. Again, this is an extremely busy weekend in Las Vegas and it will be near impossible to find affordable rooms on The Strip last minute.

Here's the details again and please use this link to reserve your rooms at the Mirage:

https://book.passkey.com/go/FNFBC0323MI

Our room block is for Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, but I see there are special prices for NFBC attendees before and after those dates. Here's the nightly price per room before the Resort Fee or taxes:

Thursday, March 23rd - $95 (it is also $95 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 20-22)
Friday, March 24th - $195
Saturday, March 25th - $315
Sunday, March 26th - $95
Monday, March 27th - $95
Tuesday, March 28th - $125.80

Thanks all and I look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas for our 20th anniversary season of live events.

Congrats to everyone who planned ahead and got their rooms booked in Las Vegas early. This is going to be a crazy busy weekend in Las Vegas with the two Taylor Swift concerts at Allegiant Stadium and the NCAA Sweet Sixteen round of games at T Mobile Arena.

We have already exceeded our room block by 50 rooms, so a LOT of people will be staying at our host hotel. That makes it fun as you'll be bumping into NFBC folks down by the sportsbook or sports bars around the sportsbook or even at the restaurants. This should be a lot of fun.

Our room block is good through February 15th and thankfully the Mirage is honoring our room block prices even though we've exceeded our room total. Get in soon if you want to compete in March and stay at the Mirage because after February 15th the prices will go up and availability could be tough. Thanks all and enjoy.

Here's your LAST CHANCE to secure a room at the Mirage Las Vegas at our discounted room prices. We far exceeded our room block and the Mirage took our discounted code off Registration over the weekend.

However, I made a call yesterday and asked them to keep it up for at least another week and they agreed. Rooms are very limited at the Mirage for March 23-27, so if you plan on coming to Las Vegas PLEASE secure your rooms shortly. Las Vegas is going to be wild that weekend and finding a better deal somewhere else is not going to be easy.

We already have more than 100 unique NFBC members staying at the Mirage, which is FANTASTIC. We have filled over 300 room nights, which means that wherever you go in the Mirage that weekend you're likely to bump into an NFBC member. Around the huge Mirage sportsbook are restaurants and small bars, so it's going to be a fantastic venue to hang out with fellow NFBC members before and after drafts/auctions. Can't wait.

Oh, and we do have a Friday Night party planned at the Portofino restaurant that people will be able to sign up for shortly. Stay tuned for more details of this party and the Midnight Madness Draft.

But our room block won't last much longer. We've exceeded our room block and I know that after February 15th all rooms will be at the rack rate. Take advantage of the discounted rates now and SECURE YOUR ROOMS AT THE MIRAGE!!!

Here's the details again and please use this link to reserve your rooms at the Mirage:

Our room block is for Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, but I see there are special prices for NFBC attendees before and after those dates. Here's the nightly price per room before the Resort Fee or taxes:

Thursday, March 23rd - $95 (it is also $95 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 20-22)
Friday, March 24th - $195
Saturday, March 25th - $315
Sunday, March 26th - $95
Monday, March 27th - $95
Tuesday, March 28th - $125.80

Thanks all and I look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas for our 20th anniversary season of live events.

Okay, I talked with the Mirage today and they are out of available rooms at the discounted rate for March 23rd to 26th. You can still try today, but the rooms won't be available much longer if at all. It's a busy weekend and we went beyond the number of rooms they had set aside for us.

Good luck securing rooms for that weekend. It's going to be insanely busy. If you need help with anything let me know and I'll do what I can, but it's going to get tougher and more expensive going forward. Good luck everyone.

Okay, there's good news and there's bad news involving the Mirage for our NFBC draft dates.

The Good News: We far exceeded our room block and have close to 130 unique NFBC individuals staying at the Mirage. That's damn cool. I think you'll have a chance to bump into an NFBC player somewhere throughout the hotel, likely around the sportsbook and sports bars around that area. It's great to have so many people staying at our host hotel and I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

The Bad News: Our room block has now ended, but you can still get rooms through our room block code. It looks like available rooms have gone up slightly in price, but the code is still working. If you still need to secure a room at the Mirage, do so now because they are going to sell out for that weekend pretty soon. My sales rep said there are limited rooms left at the Mirage for that weekend.

Thanks all and I'll see you in Las Vegas in five short weeks.
