OK....FINALLY have a hotel solidified. Several of the hotels were either too small to accomadate us, totally booked, or had no discount for our dates. I found a great hotel, good rates and they can accomadate our group. Its located just a bit outside of downtown Lexington. From what Chris tells me this is a brand new hotel and in a great area. The location works really well for everyone coming in(it's really easy to find) and for moving a large group of cars in and out.
The hotel is the:Hilton Garden Inn Lexington1973 Plaudit Place, Lexington, KY 40509Tel: 1-859-543-8300 Fax: 1-859-543-9872
Directions: From I-75 North/South: Take Exit 108 "Man-O-War" (West) and travel .3 miles. Turn left at first light, Pleasant Ridge, and left on Plaudit Place. Located next to Arby's restaurant.
From I-64 East/West: Merge to I-75 South, take Exit 108 "Man-O-War" (West) and travel 3 miles. Turn left at first light, Pleasant Ridge, and left on Plaudit Place. Located next to Arby's restaurant.
From Bluegrass Field Airport: Turn right onto "Man-O-War" Boulevard and travel 15 miles, turn right onto Pleasant Ridge, and then an immediate left on Plaudit Place.

Reservation/Pricing Info
The room rate for a 2 bed room is $69 / night. If 2 or more people stay in a room this rate is very inexpensive for the hotel we are staying at. I have a block of between 40 - 60 rooms reserved. I can drop or raise this # at any time PRIOR TO THE CUT OFF DATE* depending on our needs. If we have a significant increase in the # of rooms we will be using then the rate will obviously be slighty lower. I also have a block of 10 rooms reserved for anyone staying for the entire weekend. If I need more than that please let me know ASAP.
Rooms can be reserved beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 13th. To reserve a room, just call the hotel with the phone # I provided above and reserve your room under the "NICO Club Group" to get the discount I have negotiated. I believe all of our rooms will be grouped closely together. :ylsuper
*CUT OFF DATE*The cut off for reserving rooms at this hotel is Feb. 27th, 2004. I know this isn't much time, but considering the size of our group this isn't that bad. At that point I must release all the remaining rooms for anyone else that may want them. As a warning, almost every hotel in this area is already booked 100% solid and you won't get the discount at another hotel. There must be a large event in Lexington on the same weekend. So please, please don't hesitate. Go ahead and book now.
