Turning Stone Help! Please Look

[eDoNkStEr]

Okay guys so here's the deal. I have never been to Turning Stone before but I am planning on going up with a buddy for a night either on the 31st of August (friday night) or on the 1st of September (Saturday night). I was just looking to get a room online but the only problem is I can't find a room for any less than $400. Doesn't this seem a little to steep> I would like to stay at one of the hotels that belongs to Turning Stone if at all possible. GUYS please help me find a reasonable room!

Also I understand they offer the poker room rate for $85 bucks or so but I would like to make sure I have a room secured before I get to Turning Stone. Just for kicks can someone explain to me how exactly the poker room rate works?

Thanks

Edonk

i think they are running some major tourneys up there last week and this week. If this is the case, you're boned.

Those are finished.

Turning Stone has a property located a couple miles down the road called The Inn at Turning Stone. They provide free shuttle service between there and the casino. I would look into this as I think nights there tend to be less than $100/night.

Basically you just have to play four hours per night, although verification of your actual play time is pretty lax.

1) Call the TS Poker Room at 800.386.5366
2) Press 4 to book a room at the poker rate.
3) Tell the clerk that you'd like to book a room at the poker rate for 08/31.
4) The clerk tells you that the poker rate is sold out because you waited way too long to book a room on a holiday weekend.
5) If for some reason the poker rate isn't sold out for that date (about a 2% chance), she will book your room reservation. Your room will be "guaranteed", no need to worry about them taking it out from under you.

Also, if you are going no matter what and need a cheap place to stay, search Expedia for hotels in Rome, NY (about ten miles away). Most are pretty skanky, but it's a bed, a shower, and a locked door.

That's memorial day weekend...that's why the prices are so high

Edit: I meant labor day

Whenever a thread says "... Please Look!!!!1!" I know I shouldn't.

In the future, it would be helpful if you title the thread something like "Need help finding cheap Turning Stone hotel 8/31"

Just find a cheap hotel a reasonable drive from the casino. Since TS doesn't serve alcohol, its not like you'll have to drive back to the hotel drunk from free casino drinks.
