Often, the easiest day of the week to "cash in" on your frequent flier miles is a Saturday, so you might consider staying Saturday to Saturday. You may have to miss the tail end of the convention that way, but you would make up for it by having extra days earlier in the week. As mentioned, the convention has grown to the point that activities are taking place during much of the week. The club's room rates would apply, as the Riviera extends the offer both before and after the show itself.
