Vegas Baby! — 2009 Convention Headed to South Point

As announced at this year’s SCCA National Convention in February, the 65th Anniversary Convention will be held in Las Vegas. SCCA formally announced today that the event will be held February 19-21 at Michael Gaughan’s South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa.Located minutes south of the famed Las Vegas Strip on Las Vegas Blvd., the South Point features 1350 rooms with more planned in future phases. It features an 80,000 sq. ft. casino, a 16-screen movie theatre, 64-lane bowling alley, live music and more than a dozen restaurants. “Michael Gaughan’s South Point is a perfect place to hold the SCCA National Convention,” SCCA President and CEO Jim Julow said. “Whether you are into casino activities or not, there is plenty to do outside of our planned activities and no city has more travel options across the nation. Not only will we have a great, insightful agenda planned for attendees, but, together, we’ll celebrate the Club’s 65th birthday in style.”As is generally the case with hotels in Las Vegas, room rates vary based on the day of the week. SCCA has locked in a $90 room rate during the week (Sunday through Thursday). The rate rises to $140 on the weekend, for an average of $115/night for the typical four-night stay which remains consistent, or even less, than recent Conventions.To reserve your room, click here or go to http://www.southpointcasino.com/index.php and use the SCCA Convention group code of “SCCA09”.
