Problem 1: Conventions are big business. Use your favorite search engine to find upcoming conventions in your state. You may be surprised at how many you find. Next, select a convention that interests you. This convention will have hotels where you will be able to get a special rate for the convention. For this assignment, the convention should be at least 4-6 months away. If rooms are already sold out for the convention, select another convention.
- What is the name, dates, and website of the convention?
- What hotels are listed on the convention page?
- What are the hotel room rates offered for the convention?
- What, if any, amenities or deals does the hotel offer for convention goers?
Problem 2: Select one holiday week during this term (Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, etc.) Be sure to include 2 - 3 days before and after. Go to the MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel & Casino website or the Bossier City Casino Hotel - Horseshoe Bossier City website with those dates. What is the rate for each day during the selected date range? Is the rate the same each day? why would the rates vary from day to day if they do?
