Subject: Oireachtas fees

What's with the wristbands for Oireachtas? A larger family with multiple dancers wants to save a little bit of money by staying off site. That makes sense because dance is expensive, and traveling is even worse! But now an alternate location is not a real option because you get 4 wristbands per room, and extra wristbands are $100 per person per day. You can't leave the kids and forgo a day of wristbands because they are kids. So now you have to get 2 rooms (even though the website says they sleep 6) since the extra wristbands are the cost of a room. Also, the Grand has 744 guest rooms. Hopefully we negotiated to get all of them, because it's going to be insanely expensive if you sign in at 9:15 and all the rooms are gone! Oh!! But you can only get one room for your family of 6, even though we just learned that you need two rooms since the cap is 4!

Please, would you share where you got all that info. Don't see specifics on the WRO website (NT) -- No name, 17:05:57 08/19/23 Sat
- Some of this is on the syllabus, and some info is from WRO answers to questions on social media, and I also called the hotel. -- No name, 18:00:23 08/19/23 Sat
Hard to believe the region needs to do this. Hotel sells out every time. It’s not that big to accommodate everyone (NT) -- Hope this is an error and quickly corrected, 18:15:51 08/19/23 Sat
The rooms will sleep 6+ as they are mini suites with a separate bedroom and sitting room with couch that converts to a bed (NT) -- Nice location, 20:01:22 08/19/23 Sat
Travel IS expensive, and that’s why my partner and non-dancing kids have never been to an out of state feis let alone a major.. -- No name, 20:39:01 08/19/23 Sat
The hotel is not all for block. I reserved a room ago to be safe. (NT) -- No name, 21:29:59 08/19/23 Sat
- It you are not in block then . What are penalties if you do not book in block (NT) -- ??, 06:50:14 08/20/23 Sun
  - Per the syllabus: $100 per person usage fee. Per social media: a facility fee -- ...., 07:20:26 08/20/23 Sun
Buy your “wristbands” from office supply or craft store. Solved. (NT) -- Eff u clrg, 07:49:58 08/20/23 Sun
- Brilliant. Besides, how many door wristband police can they get to enforce it. Just another money grab. (NT) -- ., 21:40:55 08/20/23 Sun
  - Per the syllabus, competitors will be cross checked against hotel reservation list (NT) -- But will they actually follow through?, 09:58:56 08/21/23 Mon
    - But why? How does this even make sense? What's the purpose? (NT) -- No name, 21:14:09 08/22/23 Tue
- Clrg doesn’t run this event. Our WR Schools do. (NT) -- Staying at host hotel is fun!, 05:42:56 08/21/23 Mon
  - Unfortunatly there are not many other hotels in the area of the resort so I don’t know where people will stay (NT) -- Been there, 07:40:15 08/21/23 Mon
    - There are several hotels fairly close on Baseline, some of which include breakfast. Not really walking distance, especially with all the gear. (NT) -- Works if you have a car, 18:29:51 08/21/23 Mon
      - Yes remember from years ago it’s off a busy Highway and has a long driveway etc sort of.Ike the Gaylord in Nashville . So you need to drive or Uber from a neighbor hotel (NT) -- Dm, 22:05:12 08/21/23 Mon
    - There are tons of hotels in the Phoenix area. (NT) -- No name, 08:17:50 08/22/23 Tue
      - It's not an easy walk from any other hotel. Tons of traffic. Worse if you're carrying gear. We've rented a car and had the flex to eat elsewhere and stay for less. Paid dancer reg, NOTpaying for parent entry (NT) -- NOT paying for resort fee we're not going to use., 17:20:08 08/23/23 Wed
        the grand is not so grand when you have kids running wild, dancing above your head when trying to sleep (NT) -- staying elsewhere, 15:14:15 08/26/23 Sat
