The Embassy Suites is an all suites hotel, about a mile from the Las Vegas strip. Each suite consists of a bedroom, bathroom, and separate living area. There is a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave oven in each room. The rate is $105 per night plus applicable room taxes. Room tax is currently 9%. This rate is available from 3 days prior to the meeting through 3 days after the meeting. This rate includes a full breakfast, plus a complimentary cocktail hour in the early evening. A credit card is required to guarantee your room. Reservations can be cancelled 72 hours in advance without penalty; later cancellation will result in one night's room charge. Please make reservations directly with the Hotel by 30 August, 2001, in order to ensure availability; after 30 August, reservations will be accepted through 8 October at the meeting rate on a space available basis. Please refer to WG4-COBOL when booking your room. Please book your hotel room early if you plan to stay past the meeting dates. After our meeting, Las Vegas will be hosting COMDEX, one of the largest meetings in North America, and rooms will be at a premium. Power outlets will be available for laptops in the meeting room. Additional information on the hotel is available at http://www.embassylasvegas.com Meals: The Embassy Suites provides a free cooked-to-order breakfast featuring pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, and omelets. We will also have coffee, beverages, and snacks in the meeting room. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel, and many more within a 5 minute drive. Transportation: Flights should be made into Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). The Hotel is approximately 1 mile north of the airport. The Embassy Suites provides a complimentary shuttle from the airport to the hotel. The Embassy Suites also provides a shuttle to and from the Strip, which is the area with the major casinos. If you are driving from McCarran Airport, take Swenson St. north, go 1 mile and the hotel will be on the left. Weather: You may need a light coat or sweater. The average high temperature in early November is 67°F (19°C) and the average low is 42°F (6°C). There is very little rain; however it may be windy. Local Attractions: Hoover Dam: 30 miles south of Las Vegas (an easy Sunday drive) is the Hoover Dam. The dam visitor center is open daily from 8:30 to 5:45., and there are tours that descend into the dam and into the generating plants. More information on the tours will be found at http://www.hooverdam.usbr.gov/service/index.html Lake Mead Recreation Area: Created by the building of Hoover Dam, the Lake Mead Recreation Area provides swimming, boating, lake cruises, fishing, and other water sports, as well as hiking and wildlife photography. The lake is at the intersection of three of the four American desert ecosystems -- the Mohave, the Great Basin, and the Sonoran deserts. More information can be found at http://www.nps.gov/lame. Information about lake cruises can be found at http://www.lakemeadcruises.com. Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park: In 1855, the first permanent non-native settlers to the Las Vegas valley were Mormon missionaries. They built an adobe fort which now serves as a visitor center. These settlers lived here by farming the area using diverted water from a nearby creek. This park is currently under development to include more historic interpretations and re-created features. The park is open all year. Located in Las Vegas at Las Vegas Boulevard and Washington Avenue. For more information contact: Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park, 908 Las Vegas Blvd. North, Las Vegas, NV, 89101, (702) 486-3511. Kyle Ranch: Once part of a large ranch, what remains of it here is acknowledged as the oldest standing building in Las Vegas. It is located just off Losee Road on the northeast corner of Carey Ave and Commerce Street in North Las Vegas. The unassuming stone and wood ranch house and nearby white shed date back to the mid 1850's when the entire valley was little more than a railroad stop and ranching predominated, rather than gambling. If you visit the site, please respect all nearby areas marked "private property" and "no trespassing". No admission charge. Lake Havasu/London Bridge: Brought over stone by stone and reconstructed in 1971, Lake Havasu's London Bridge forms the central focus of a modern "Old English Village" on the shore of the lake. Dozens of gift shops, antique shops, and cafes line the shore of this man-made lake north of Parker Dam. Boating, fishing, and many other water sports are available. This is also the well known site of numerous televised water sports tournaments. Additional Info: Call the Lake Havasu Tourist Bureau: 1-800-242-8278. Red Rock Canyon: Just 15 miles outside of town to the west is Red Rock Canyon. A large patch of native, brilliant red sandstone makes this a unique, natural sightseeing spot. You often see desert wildlife including burros, wild horses, and bighorn sheep wandering amidst the washes, Joshua Trees, and numerous small canyons once inhabited by ancient Indian tribes. Often used as backdrops for magazine ads, "Red Rock" (as it's affectionately referred to by locals) provides a number of nice picnic spots, places for rock climbing, 4-wheel driving, hiking, and spectacular views along the 8 mile scenic loop, which is readily accessible by car or bicycle. A four wheel drive, ATV, or hardy hiking shoes are recommended for some of the more isolated dirt trails. Tours are available at the visitor's center at the main entrance. Stop at the visitor's center BEFORE you head into the park "loop", as once you get into the park, it's one-way traffic ONLY for 12 miles. Admission: $5/carload/day or $20/annual. (702) 363-1921. Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours: Too numerous to list, a number of tours of the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead provide a stunning and beautiful afternoon. Shopping: Many of the large casinos have extensive shopping areas that include every type of merchandise one can think of. The largest ones, at Caesar's Palace, at the Aladdin, and at Bally's may be entered without going through the casino areas. There is also the Fashion Show mall, separate from the casinos on the Strip, and two large outlet malls within five miles of the area. Imperial Palace Auto Collection - 3535 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas - Visit over 200 antique and specialty autos as well as classic cars. This display is constantly rotated from the hotel's immense collection to keep the interest of repeat visitors. See John F. Kennedy's "Bubbletop Limo." The collection of Duesenbergs is second to none. Make sure you stop by the gift shop for those souvenirs for home. Daily 9:30am-11pm, Admission: $6.95 Adults, $3 Seniors & Children 5 -12 (Las Vegas Leisure Guide note: Bring your AAA club membership card or catch the wandering hostess at the antique car display out front of the hotel and you can get in free), (702) 731-3311 or (702) 794-3174 Las Vegas Natural History Museum: 900 N.

COMDEX: One of the largest, if not the largest, Information Technology show in the world is COMDEX, will be in Las Vegas from November 12th through November 16th, 2001.
