SInce we are no longer at Harrah's Casino for the show the room rates are unfortunatly no longer viable.
Not too impressed by Harrah's. "Oh, that deal we made, we were uh wrong about the legal aspects, so we want to just drop it and you go fix our mess on your dime."

If anyone has successfully booked the Hilton Garden Inn at the discounted rate, please PM me. Apparently I'm doing it wrong...
Nope- rate is not active yet. We booked a room at the $339 for King Room and had them note on the reservation that we needed the rate for the New Orleans Pipe Show...I'll be calling Monday to rebook under the discount rate...An important thing is that if you do it this way, any changes have to happen 3 days in advance, so you would need to call back in by Tuesday to take advantage of the rate....
And Be AWARE!!! When we called Harrahs, they said all the group reservations had been cancelled, so it seems like if you show up willing to pay the extra at Harrah's, you may not have a reservation...They didn't notify us- we found out when we called to cancel...

We got stationed down here in 1989 and I retired in New Orleans in 1993. While my wife worked in New Orleans until she retired two years ago, the only time I went into the city was to pick her up from work or to visit the WWII Museum. There is a reason for that and it's called the crappy way the city crooks - I mean political dictators - run the place.

You got that right, HappyMac. Save our monuments!
Looks like Delacroix in the background of your photo?
See y'all Friday in St James Parish.

Glad you survived Katrina. Good luck with the local politics. I saw enough during that time to distrust most city administrations.

I'd like to ask a favor of someone going to the New Orleans show. You can pm me. There's something I'd like to have that's available only at the show, likely under $20. I'll remit funds before you ship...
