This is what I found on the FAQ. My understanding after today ( the 19th ) is when we should start receiveng the Hotel confirmation. If I do not see something by Monday I plan on just calling the Hotel to confirm.

An email acknowledgment of your conference registration will be sent to you after you register. You will receive final confirmation, including your hotel reservation, approximately four weeks prior to the conference date.

I just spoke with a Venetion Hotel reservation clerk and she told me that no reservations have been submitted from Vmworld but today was the cutoff  and they will be getting them soon. Once this is done confirmations will go out. This goes inline with what we were told from the start.  Hopefully this is the case and I'm not trying to find a Hotel room at the last moment. With all the rooms in Vegas I doubt this would be a problem but I want to stay close to the conference.

same issue here with staying at TI

How does it reflect badly if they are doing as they said they would? This is Las Vegas, check in times are VERY flexible. Even in some strange situation that you would not be able to check into the hotel, VMWorld will have a baggage storage area where you can keep your bags if you come directly there from the airport for a nominal fee of a few dollars per bag. I was able to do this for EMC World a few months ago as my flight came in during the early stages of day 2 and I did not want to miss more than I already had to.

Relax and enjoy the conference, and Las Vegas. No need to be stressed out about something like this.

I called the Wynn on friday and verified my room with them.   Booked it like everyone else that registered for the conference.

I had to book my hotel room at the Venetian through the Venetian's website. I couldnt book it when i registered for VM World, and when i call The Venetian (some time before August 15th) i was told that there were no more rooms available at the VMWorld rate.... I have to admit im a little irritated.. But its not my dime.
