Being that these conferences get extremely expenses when you add up the airfare, shuttle/rental car, hotel, classes, conference, meals, booze, ... I spent a little time looking for deals and I found a sweet deal on a hotel that is less than .5 mi from the Ft Worth Convention Center.I booked my flight via Expedia for $79/night at the Park Central Hotel. The published rate is $89/night. Use the coupon code "10AUG" to save $10/night.Four nights hotel at Park Central Hotel with all taxes and fees = $371.56.Four nights hotel at the Sheraton Hotel they recommend with all taxes and fees = $913.00.Total Savings = $541.44P.S. You're welcome to thank me by buying me a 'drink' when we get out there ;)
For those that are considering staying here, I've been informed that the reviews are less than stellar. I had to throw that disclaimer out so that nobody comes hunting me down when they find out this place isn't the Taj Mahal. You're saving money for a reason.
If you're staying at the Park Central Hotel, let me know. I need someone to accompany me for my morning & evening walks to/from the convention center =)

.....Sharing that info with us........PRICELESS!!!! Thank you Kyle.
Another tip is that you really don;t need a car while you are out there. Rather than renting a car for $35/day (for a Pinto), take the Super Shuttle from DFW to your hotel. The published rate is $17 . Use coupon code 'YUS68' to save $3 each way making it only $14 each way.
Five days rental of a Pinto = $175
Two Super Shuttle rides = $28
Total Savings = $147
P.S. I love starting my day with a Starbuck's Iced White Mocha ;)
