Yep, that is the problem (I have edited my previous post). There are still non-smoking rooms available for Thursday and Saturday, but not Friday.

We booked through Hilton Honors, got king non-smoking for all three nights. No crawling through windows for me!

Thanks to those messages about asthma!

My asthma isn't bad really, but I never know how bad a smoking room will be and the effect it will have on me... so, I stay out of them. I can handle smoke in restaurants (but always take non-smoking seats), etc... and heck, I've been known have a cigar with the guys every now and then too. It's not bad, it's just hard to predict "how bad" it's going to be.. so I keep it simple and stay away when I can. If I'm awake, I can tell when it's getting to me and I can get out of the situation... but when I'm sleeping, that's a whole different situation.

After seeing Kim's post I went on my corporate travel site and looked at rates... I pay a few bucks more on the first night (April 30th), but it's the same rate as the NEO discount after that, so I canceled my smoking room under the NEO block and got my own non-smoking room.

We're booked!!

Talked to Natasha - she remembers us...well!!

I took one of the smoking rooms - I've sniffed tons of 2nd hand smoke in the bar - little more can't hurt.

I wonder if I'll be requested to sign the "I promise not to have a party in my room" waiver in May?

I posted on the Sky side but looks like all the action is over here!

Ihawk & D2... Sign me up!!!

Middling all weekend... T2TR virgin!

I booked today... double queens. Non smoking for all three nights. Natasha assisted me. As soon as I said I was with the car club she said April 30th and I said yep!

The only thing is that the room is not within the block of rooms, this is fine by me because I am still in the same hotel. So I think there are still rooms available just not within the original block.

COUNT ME IN Not sure at this point if I'll have a NAV or not, but I plan to come early and stay late

We'll find a place to put him

If you cross your fingers when you sign it, it doesn't count. i think that was a Supreme Court Decision.. "Spanky versus Alfalfa".

Actually, the only potential issue in not being in the "block" is the potential of noise complaints (especially if we have a FBH overdose). As long as you don't volunteer your room for "hallway bowling" or relocate the rootie fest there, it should be cool. We can be a bit wild; however, the hotel folks seem to get a kick out of us and work with us (They love Druid). They just have to stay responsive to their other customers.

Even if Rooties do hurt the brain a bit, it is not like we light ourselves on fire and run through the halls tripping fire alarms... On the other hand... having people enter and exit via the window in the meeting room (along with a pizza delivery)... I just consider that respect for the hotel patrons with a general "what the hell" approach to life....

T2TR virgin? Welcome my friend... I remember my first... Changed me forever...
