Just a thought. I would book air as soon as you get a decent bargain and also a car if you require it. I would book the room as soon as the club posts the link to the convention rates at the South Point. Why book through the club? You get a good price and if the club doesn't come up with enough room nights this nice place will be gone after the contract is up. I am a fairly new member myself and have been to the last two conventions, both at the South Point. This is a nice place for a convention and I have started staying here other times as well. Compare this to the Riviera where is was for a few years prior and there is no serious comparison.

Hint on the car-book early and check rates a couple times a week and when they drop re-book the car. I usually go with either Dollar or Alamo.

Last year the South Point reduced the original room rates once during the booking time so you can book through the club with confidence. I have been waiting myself till the rates come out which I would think will be soon.
