Rick – that’s terrible. There isn’t a :facepalm: large enough. I heart our fear-mongering government.

“Mitchel” – I don’t know how you’ve determined I bashed the Rio here, as I just said they didn’t contact us.

Missy is at LeadsCon and I don’t know if she is even aware of this situation, yet.

Anyhow, we signed for multiple years there based on feedback from Affiliate Summit attendees and the hotel rates they said they were willing to pay.

Fortunately, the pricing has come down all around Vegas since then, and we were able to upgrade the hotel while still staying in the range people said they’d like to pay for a room.

Mitchel,

This is about what happened as a result of being at the Rio, which seems to have nothing to do with either Shawn or Missy. It is okay if you have a certain amount of animosity towards them, however, this does not mean you twist the whole purpose of this thread. Let’s work together to spread the word that something as important as persecution due to being different sends a wrong message.

I love how Shawn and Missy have jumped on the Rio bashing bandwagon. If you knew it was such an awful place (and it most definitely is!) why did you sign a contract to hold Affiliate Summit there for years?

I’m all for making a buck, but you can’t put dollars ahead of quality like you did by getting in bed with the Rio and now that your deal is done say “Yeah we hate it too.”

Sorry to hear about your experiences Ricky. Yet another reason that the Rio truly is the worst hotel in vegas.

Its sad that in 2010 people are still so ignorant. Sorry that happened to you Rick. Not sure what the detective expected you to say anyway. Have a safe trip back.

Ricky – I’m really sorry this happened to you … count another person out for the Rio.
