Hi everyone! This is Phil (Feldman) with the 4/30/2000 hotel ads from the L.A. Times Sunday Calendar section. They include listings for Las Vegas, Jean, Primm, and Laughlin.

If you like these posts, plz let me know and I'll keep them coming.


*** New hotel ads this week: Desert Paradise Resort

*** Former ads expiring this week: Tropicana, River Palms (Laughlin)

All the ads quote rates for Sunday thru Thursday occupancy. All say "subject to
availability" and specify that convention periods, weekends, holidays, etc. may be higher. You know the drill. I'm only quoting ads that specify a price (though I added a section at the bottom for non-price ads), and will give the phone number and any
"perks" mentioned in the ads. Also, the given price is PER ROOM (not per person) based on 1 or 2 adults sharing a room. (Many ads state that an "adult" means 21 years of age and older. If you are under 21, check with the hotel to see if you are eligible
for the quoted rates.) And, of course, you must add tax to all the rates.

With each post of mine in this newsgroup, I'll also include the ad(s) from previous
editions of the Times Calendar section if their expiration dates are still active. I'll list the last date each hotel's ad appeared in the Times. The first ads you see listed each week will be the ones from the
current Calendar section.

All dates are quoted in "U.S" format: mm/dd/yy

You do NOT have to live in the Los Angeles area to take advantage of these deals. When you call for a room reservation, simply tell the reservationist that you want the rate quoted in the Calendar section of the Sunday Los Angeles Times. You can be calling from anywhere in the world...
