GTS Travel & Hotel

GTS Hotel Reservations are open!

Beat the annual rush! Make your hotel reservations for GTS 2008 now and lock in the GTS rate of just $127/night. That gives you one of Bally's spacious 450 square foot rooms, complete with luxuries like high speed Internet access, a dual-line speakerphone, and more.

As a GTS attendee, you get the special show rate from Tuesday, April 15, through Saturday, April 26. Arrive early and make GTS part business, part pleasure!

To reserve your room for GTS 2008 online, you can go to our personal reservation site through Bally's by clicking the link. Stays longer than 7 nights must be booked through the call center below. Stays less than 7 nights are available to book online.  You can scroll down the dates on the default page or you can choose from the calendar that is located on the right hand side of the default page of the website.

Or call Bally’s Las Vegas at +1 800-634-3434 (or +1 702-967-4111). Ask the reservation specialist for the “Game Manufacturers Association 2008 Trade Show” rate, convention code SBGMA8.

Very important - We have had two calls from people who are saying the reservation agents can’t find our code or event name in the reservations system. As there are 200 reservation agents, we are trying to track down WHO is making this error. Our contacts have verified – again – that our info is in there correctly so this is very, very disturbing. If are having this problem, we need the name of the reservation agent you spoke with, approximate time of call, and number called from. This will enable our Bally’s contacts to pull the recording of the call and figure out what the problem is.

Reservation deadline is Friday March 19, 2008. Bally's accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diner's Club.

Questions? Contact Jodie Ramsey at Ops(at)gama.org or +1 614 255 4500.

And now, the fine print... 

  • All reservations must be guaranteed with a deposit for the first night's guestroom and tax charge.

All reservations are non-refundable regardless of cancellation date. 
  • Bally's will add an early check-out fee of $50 plus tax to an individual's account if they check out prior to their reserved check out date. You can change your check out date for free at any time before arriving or during the check in process.
  • Check-in time is 3 p.m. and check-out time is 11 a.m.
  • Each guestroom must have at least one registered guest 21 years of age or older.
