>>Anyone out there able to get a better rate at Miami than the conference rate of, I think 159.00 per night?
>The Ramada .3 miles from the conference site has government rate rooms($75)

Not too bad, but I plan on staying at the conference site this time. I will use my meal money and mileage to help offset the cost. By the way the gov't rate at the conference site was 99. I think most hotels limit how many gov't rates they give, so I guess I got in under the gun.
