We are moving the highly popular Las Vegas GT to a hotel, which should make everything simpler and more relaxing for the participants. Just remember it’s best not to stay up too late the night before! The Las Vegas GT will feature separate tournaments for:

• Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament
• Warhammer Grand Tournament
• The Lord of The Rings Grand Tournament

September 5-7, 2008
Treasure Island Casino & Hotel
3300 Las Vegas Blvd South
Las Vegas, NV 89109-8916
702-894-7111

Schedule
We will post an complete schedule of the event as it approaches.

Tickets
Tickets will be $150. Tickets will be available for sale starting May 5. Once they are available, tickets may be purchased from direct services at 1-800-394-GAME.

Please Note: The ticket cost is an increase of $25 on last year’s event. This increase has unfortunately had to be added to go some way toward covering the significantly higher “catering bill” that is apparently the only way to “rent” convention space in a Las Vegas hotel. The good news is that this increased cost to you will be offset by the provision of up to three meals over the weekend. Full details are still being worked out to ensure you get the best deal possible. Keep an eye on this site for details as they become available.

Accommodations
We have a block of rooms put aside for you folks to book on the Friday and Saturday night. The Room Rate is $199 for single or double occupancy. We will provide a promotional code as soon as we can, but if you are booking in the meantime you can call Treasure Island Hotel Reservation Department toll-free at 1-888-503-8999. In order to get the group rate you MUST identify to the Hotel that you are participating in the Games Workshop Grand Tournament Event.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
We are currently in discussions with Treasure Island to ensure that our Room Block Rate is the same or lower than that advertised on the Treasure Island site. If you do find cheaper rooms at Treasure Island then by all means book them. All we ask is that you contact us at chrisg@games-workshop.com an let us know that you have booked. We can still count your booking against our room block and we stand less of a chance of losing anything on the whole deal.

Non-Players at the Event
Many of you have asked about the presence of those not playing in the GT. We are fine with partners (husbands, wives, boyfriends, or girlfriends) and children coming into the hall, but these visitors must be careful to not interrupt the gaming in any way. This means no tactical suggestions, no moving of models, no rolling dice, or anything else that might delay the game or distract your opponent. In addition, we will probably set up an area where family members could sit down and do a bit of hobbying.
