RESERVATION INFORMATION SHEET

We were very successful in finding a great venue for our World Event, and also negotiating for competitive room rates and free (self) parking for our lifters. Our venue criteria was based on location, cleanliness, room rates, ballroom size, and amenities and we hit a homerun with the Golden Nugget! This hotel has something for everyone. During the negotiation process, we had to commit to filling a certain amount of room nights in order to receive a discount on the ballroom rental (which otherwise would be thousands of dollars). You may be able to find room reservations from an online source for a price that is a few dollars less, but please know that ANY RESERVATIONS MADE THROUGH ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN THE HOTEL WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE REQUIRED QUOTA. Reservations must be made directly through the hotel at (800) 634-3454 (mention code: GSAIPLW) or online through the Golden Nugget/IPL Worlds site at http://goldennugget.com/specials/eblasts/IPL_Nov.html We have been able to keep the costs of the entry and crossover fee's, t-shirts, and late fee's down (in comparison to other federations), but again, that is due to your support to the event. Please fill out the form below and return with your entry form, so that we have accurate information.
