Affiliate Summit West Hotel Rundown
I asked Tovio to write this up for us. It is a guest post on hotel options for ASW.
Also, to prepare for Vegas, please watch this video on how to give a lap dance.

Now that I’ve recovered from PubCon, I’m looking forward to Affiliate Summit West, which takes place in Las Vegas January 16-19. Whenever I find out about a conference in Vegas the first thing I try to figure out is which hotel I’m going to stay at. ASW takes place at Rio, so I started my search based on that location for 4 nights stay starting January 16th. Unfortunately Rio is already sold out for Saturday, so that won’t be an option. Here are some options to consider:
Gold Coast and the Palms are close enough to the conference to walk. Gold Coast is the closest hotel and has some great rates – from $216 for the four nights, but it’s a pretty basic hotel and casino and is off the strip. Unless you have a really tight budget I wouldn’t recommend it. The Palms, which is across the street from the Gold Coast and Rio, is oriented toward a younger, hip party crowd and I found rates starting at $596 for the four nights.
If you want to stay at a really nice Strip hotel with short taxi rides (and who doesn’t), try Caesars Palace or Bellagio. These are both high-end hotels that will be a bit pricier for the four days – Bellagio starts at $706 and Caesars from $685. For more budget-friendly Strip options, I would go with Monte Carlo ($417), Luxor ($360), or Excalibur ($289). These are all comfortable hotels that are really good values.
The place I have decided to stay is ARIA. This high-end hotel’s grand opening will be on December 16th and it will feature not only luxury, but great technology in the rooms. I can’t wait to stay there. They have a “Winter Special” with rates from $786 for the four days, and offers a $75 resort credit. Vegas offers some great deals on hotels and you’re sure to have fun no matter where you stay.

Tovio is not sponsoring Purpose Inc for Affiliate Summit, this is simply a post of info. None of these hotels gave me a dam cent for this either!
Hey DK and Tovio
Not sure where you heard that the Rio is sold out on Saturday. It is wide open with our rates and can be booked online. All of the booking information and related discounts can be found here: http://www.affiliatesummit.com/10w-travel/.
In most cases it makes a whole lot more sense to stay at the conference hotel for many reasons. But, the reasons I like most are that I can sleep in a little later and just roll downstairs instead of having to wait for a cab at wherever I’m staying. I also like it because you get handed a lot of conference swag and it makes it easier to dump off when your room is close. Lastly, it will save you a bunch of money on taxi costs and the additional networking that goes on in the lobby/bars after conference hours can’t be beat. 🙂
If you need any information about the Rio definitely let me know. I look forward seeing you there in January!
ReplyNo cents back from the hotels but lot of apreciation from your readers for the info.
Any clues in which hotel could people bump into you?

ReplyMissy, the article is all Tovio!
I bet? but not sure that he was aware of the http://www.affiliatesummit.com/10w-travel/. Thanks for the update!
I agree that it is much nicer to stay at the hotel where the event is.
Considering the fact that you’ll likely be in your room all of 3 – 5 hours/day (sleeping), the Gold Coast is actually a pretty decent option. I stayed their during an ASW show and although it was a bit below what I normally like, it was convenient. I definitely would not stay there if my plans included meeting people to discuss business partnerships and co-ops, etc.
ReplySeveral sites will not allow you to check-in at the RIO on Saturday (expedia, delatavacations, etc.) which is likely why the author thought it was sold out…
Guess i’ll need to roll in to town Friday 🙂
ReplyI will be there
Can’t wait! 🙂

ReplyIt is really hard to keep me out of the Wynn. When I am throwing events in Vegas, other than their crappy cell phone service (T-Mobile) and weak wireless card (Sprint) coverage when I am in the rooms, I just love the place. When I run events in Vegas, and am moving at turbo speed, their customer service just kicks butt. Andy Liu got me to be a big fan of the poker room there too as well as the Mirage, more to come on this later 😉
Reply@purposeinc:
I agree. I have played Poker at the Wynn numerous times and its really nice. I will be staying at the Wynn for Affiliate Summit.
Great Place, Great People..just awesome.
Hey DK, have you had a chance to meet Jade from the Wynn? She does their Twitter Account really cool girl: http://twitter.com/JadeEmily
ReplyI’d love to meet Jade. In fact I am probably going to do an event at the Wynn after ASW so if you could, put her in touch with me. 🙂
Replywill do. I just sent her a Direct Message.
ReplyThanks Tweet Find! (Literally) 🙂
ReplyI found a really good deal at Wynn resorts new building called encore.
Since my wife is also attending she wanted to stay on strip. However the real is a pretty short cab ride from my hotel.
I’d love to meet up with anybody who’s staying at the Wynn or in general. feel free to contact me on twitter http://twitter.com/bradgosse
ReplyStayed at the Gold Coast for Saturday, but left because I didn’t RSVP the next night. I probably won’t be going back because of the lack of anyone even near my age bracket. Next year I’ll give the Palms a go…it was an awesome looking hotel, but it was all booked up when I tried to rent a room :'(.
ReplyLol I loved Neil Patel’s demonstration of giving a lap dance. That girl really seemed to enjoy it. Last time I was in Vegas I stayed at a crappy hotel across from the Hard Rock. It was horrible, but I was there for a show, so it wasn’t that horrible sine I didn’t really hang out there that much anyway. I have been to Caesers Palace and that place is awesome. They have a serious mall in there with a bunch of high end stores. It’s fun to window shop.
