    Flying in solo from Fresno! Anyone familiar with the area that can recommend a reasonable hotel within walking distance to the venue?
    Thank you :)

    The closest within walking distance would be the Springhill Suites Denver Downtown, but it's not cheap. There's a bunch of hotels in the downtown area about 1-2 miles away, but again because they are in a downtown area they are a little pricey. If you're just looking for a basic bed and shower there's a Comfort Inn in downtown Denver that is probably the cheapest.
    Thank you I prebooked at hotel VQ about 1/2 mile from venue 3/5 stars and only $100 a night...i have until oct 20 to cancel..
    Lots of people saying that the VQ hotel is ok to smoke... but on the website its non-smoking rooms.... any info?
    I am also looking (at multiple hotels on multiple websites) for a hotel that isn't directly in, what i would call, midtown. The prices are within my budget (esp since I plan on staying 4 nights) if I move just a bit out of downtown. It may be a wee bit further to meet people; but hardly an inconvenience.
    As far as smoking rooms, I did a search with the filter of smoking rooms and also balcony rooms (i also did one for indoor pools :D ). In NJ, it's near impossible to find one, and I wasn't sure of the Colorado policies. I found 10 hotels with balconies, some a bit further away. I read a guest comment about a downtown hotel (can't remember which) that said they called and requested a smoking room and were accommodated and treated extremely well. So I'd either get a balcony or call the hotel directly, that's my best advice. :)>-
    Thanks... i'll try finding those Hotels with balcony... seems trivago or hotels.com don't have the "balcony" options...

    Are we going to organize a pre-pre party? Seems like this is the show most people are traveling in for i would think we could take over a bar pretty easily on Wednesday night? Any thoughts?

    I'm game. And I don't drink (well I drink or I'd die, just not alcohol anymore), so I can be the designated 'remember your room key and hotel name' person. :))

    Brooklyn's would be a cool place for a pre-party! It's literally two minutes from the Pepsi Center

    Maybe do Brooklyns one day and one of the larger Breweries downtown the other day? Like Breck or Wyncoop or even the Viewhouse (its massive and pretty cool). . Just a thought if we speak to a place and can confirm like 50 people i would imagine they would hook us up with a special or something. The problem is knowing if people will really show or not

    I have a question; i have absolutely no problems going to bars, etc. but do any locals know if they serve non-alcoholic wine? Or if they're BYOB. If not, I'll still have fun - but it's nice to have a 'special' drink at such occasions. Non-alcoholic beer i don't really drink; I liked good beer way too much back in the day. But maybe the breweries may have something interesting. Just a thought - I can always google or call; but if someone just happens to know off-hand. Thanks. My plans are for either 18th to 23rd or 19th to 24th.

    All of the bars will have non alcoholic drinks.
    As for non alcoholic wine ...isnt that just grape juice?

    Also, as far as I know none of the local breweries produce a non alcoholic beer.

    non-alcoholic wine is wine that has been fully produced and then they remove the alcohol, leaving .00001% which is les than is in vanilla extract (much less) and i eat cookies. :D Ariel makes the best non-alcoholic wines, they've won awards pitted against regular wines. There is sparkling cider but it's way too sweet. Just think of de-caf - it's regular coffee and then they extract as much of the caffeine that they can (though i drink regular coffee).

    Thanks, I'll take a look around google when i can; otherwise, i've been doing this for almost two decades, so i'll be fine.

    Confirmation is key in this. But I live the idea if a get together at Wyncoop.. We have to show it off!! That place is bad ass insane!

    I haven't been to Brooklyns but when I was at the Pepsi Center last year I saw how close it is to the venue. You'd probably walk farther to find your car in the parking lot.

    Nice!! I was at night two. Was blown away by the sit-down affair at the start!

    True story- I had asked a friend to get tix for night one since I was on a school field trip. I thought she'd get two. She got one, so I gave my ONLY ticket to this guy I worked with because I thought I had two and said I'd bring him with.
