You may have learned that Caesars Palace is offering special flex rates over the dates of our convention. Please be aware that these rates do not include the $29 per night resort fee, which is added in later. Also, the rooms—Classic Rooms—will be renovated after our convention, so they may not be of the quality that you may expect from Caesars. TLPA's room-block rate, however, does NOT have an additional resort fee and is for rooms in the Palace Tower. We wanted to be sure that you are aware of these differences so you can fully enjoy your stay.

Check-in time is 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m.
