Travelers Conference?

Published

Is anyone else going to the Travelers Conference in October? I just registered and thought I would post info about it here in case other nurses don't know about it. I went for the first time last year and had a great time. I was only considering traveling this time last year and went to the conference to get my questions answered. It was extremely informative and I decided to start traveling shortly after. Everyone there was very helpful and it was a fun atmosphere where I was able to meet other travel nurses and a few others like me who had never traveled. I am really looking forward to going again this year. Plus, it is a great excuse to go to Las Vegas and get free CEUs. They have a Facebook page (although I dont know the link) but they do have a website with more info at travelersconference.com. if you are interested.

Anyone else registered?

Yeah! It is great to hear so many of you are going! I am really looking forward to it. What hotel is everyone staying at? I think I am going to spring for a room at the ARIA so I can be close to the action. (slightly expensive but WAY more convenient than going back and forth to another hotel)

I also saw on their website that they are have an inspirational speaker coming. It peaked my interest so I read a bit about him. Wow! I think he is going to be great...Really looking forward to his talk!

I also have quite a few tax questions to get answers to...yikes!

I had so wanted to spring for the ARIA! It is really is a good deal through the travelers conference website- $169, I think. However, I decided to stay and hit Lake Mead Fri night and stay there Sat and Sun, so I found a room at Flamingo for $58 Wed and Thurs nights.

Wow! $58.00 is a great price! I also just checked on the Monte Carlo which is right next door and walking distance to the ARIA and the rate is only $84.00 / night. Huh...now I am torn! I am waiting to hear from my friend who is a traveler and also going to the conference. May split a room with her.

I think the normal rate for the ARIA is over $200 a night so the conference rate is pretty good.

I'm also looking at the Monte Carlo... looks nice. Amazing how Wednesday and Thursday is 85 and then Friday is 160! Eeek!

OK - I know of another nurse that is going and is looking for another female to share a room with at the Aria. Anyone interested in connecting with her?

No kidding! Found the same thing.

So I finalized my plans for the Aria. Couldn't resist - it will be a vacation. Also - the conference gets started early so I want to be able to crawl out of bed and make breakfast time (8 to 9am) there with everyone. Totally worth it!

I looked at the Monte Carlo and was scared off by the reviews. Sometimes, I find that I do too much research (I could have been a travel agent if I didnt go to nursing school)! Regardless, it was enough for me to settle at the Aria - ahhhh.

Can't wait!

Anyone get some good flight deals?? I am in the Bay Area now and got a GREAT deal with Virgin America from San Francisco.
