<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Unfortunately no, hotel work is done under fixed contracts and there are no "trades" possible for rooms in exchange for work.  Much of the hotel work also includes moving the pianos as well with the exception of the lounges, show rooms, and restaurants.  Airline packages are largely connected to hotels either because the hotel is a major stock investor in the airline or because they have a contractual agreement for packages. The chapter would love nothing more than to pay the way in full for guests but unfortunately that would exhaust our financial resources in a real hurry.  So far our outside guests have been friends who were willing to visit Las Vegas to have fun and willing to take a few hours of time to give a chapter presentation during their visit.  We in exchange have offered some personal gratitude such as dinner and a free tour or whatever as a thank you.  We could possibly arrange for a free place to stay in a local tech's home.  Hopefully this would be appealing to someone who is looking for some fun while hanging out with some fellow techs for a while.

If I the hotel could pay my way, including the air fare and lodging, I would be more than happy to take the time to come to Las Vegas. I would guess there are other PTG members who would do the same Willem</blockquote> </html>
