HOTEL RESERVATION:
WORLDCOMP'08 will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is
a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000
rooms. It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle
service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational
attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy
River, wave pool, lighted tennis courts, health spa, nightly shows,
a number of restaurants, ... The hotel is within walking distance
from most other attractions (recreational destinations, Golf
courses, ...).
You are to reserve your hotel room directly by calling Monte
Carlo Resort at 1-702-730-7000 or 1-702-730-7777. Make sure that
you mention the Group Code "XWRLD8" (XWRLD8 is the keyword that the
hotel will use to handle the reserved block of rooms for the
Congress).
You should reserve your room as soon as possible since our block is
very close to being fully booked. There are also many other hotels
nearby.
