Accommodations/Travel

Q. How do I make Hotel Reservations?

A.

Conference attendees are responsible for making their own room reservations. Trimble has arranged for a special conference rate of $209.00 per night at the Mirage Hotel. You can book your room one of three ways. Either you can register for the hotel at the same time you are registering for the conference via the conference website at here, or by calling or faxing the hotel reservation department directly. Make sure to mention you are with the Trimble Dimensions 2009 User Conference to receive the special conference rate.

If you are planning to arrive a couple of days prior to the conference or stay a couple of days after the conference, the hotel will extend the special conference rate to all attendees, subject to availability and confirmation by the hotel.

Website: Mirage Hotel

Hotel Reservation Department: Phone 1-800-499-6311 or 702-791-7444; Fax 702-791-7495

Rates cannot be changed at check-in or check-out if you forget to mention you are with the Trimble Dimensions 2009 User Conference at the time the reservation is made.

It is attendee's responsibility to submit a credit card number, or a deposit equal to one (1) night's room/suite rate, plus tax as a guarantee, at the time the attendee makes the reservation. Room reservations not guaranteed will be automatically canceled by Hotel within fourteen (14) days of the reservation date. Hotel must receive written authorization from Meeting Group in order to confirm transfer of room deposits or attendee's name changes. Attendee's credit card will be charged the one (1) night's room/suite rate plus tax at that time. Refunds will be issued on individual attendee's reservations canceled at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the confirmed arrival date. All guaranteed reservations will be held until 6:00 a.m. on the day after attendee's confirmed arrival date. Attendees must pay the balance of all room, tax and incidental charges upon check-out.

Last day to make a hotel reservation at the Mirage and be guaranteed the special conference rate is Wednesday, January 21, 2009.
