Exclusive Venue And Lodging Arrangements
Secured
In very
exciting news, the organizers have secured The Grand Pacific
Palisades Resort & Hotel as the official venue and lodging
of BricksWest 2002. This hotel is the closest hotel to LEGOLAND
California (right across the parking lot...a 5 minute walk), and the
nicest hotel in the area. By special arrangement, BricksWest
attendees will receive at least 25% off the normal room rates during
the event, and the more BricksWest folks that stay at the hotel, the
lower your nightly room fee will be. You will want to join us in the
hotel for ease of attendance to games and conference sessions,
early, late and after-hours activities, and the breakout social
gatherings which always happen at events like this. More information
will be available soon via our "Venue" link at the top of this
page.
