Revision as of 18:34, 12 June 2011
The Eleven Eleven Club's 2011 event will be a once-in-a-century experience. While annual meetings of the past have been fun, memorable, and profitable, this year's extravaganza at the Atlantic City Harrah's Resort promises to kick it up not just a notch, but all the way to eleven. So, save the date... Friday, November 11, 2011.
What you need to know
While each guest may feel the need to customize their visit, we recommend the following game plan as your basic guide to optimize your experience with us.
- Friday, November 11, 2011 (11-11-11) creates an iconic date triple that happens only once every century. Take the day off from work. Arrange for overnight baby sitting and pet sitting. Don't short-change your visit by getting stuck in rush-hour traffic on Friday evening. Clear your calendar.
- You'll need a place to sleep. Book a room (soon!) at Harrah's or one of the neighboring casino hotels (prices as of June 11):
- - Harrah's offers rooms as low as $293.86 (including taxes and fees)
- - Borgata offers rooms as low as $259.66 (including taxes and fees)
- - Golden Nugget (the former Trump Marina) offers rooms as low as $152.06 (including taxes and fees)
- We have reserved a 1,255-square-foot Waterfront Corner Suite that will serve as our base of operations for the entire group, from 4:11 PM Friday until 12:12 AM Saturday. We ask for a $33-per-person "hospitality fee" to help cover costs for this spacious visiting area, hot foods, bartender, games, and souvenirs.
- Bring your own beer, wine, and/or liquor. We will provide the wet bar, ice, refrigerator space, soda, mixers, cups, cherries, lemon and lime wedges, salt, blender, etc.
- Bring an appetizer or snack (at least 11 servings) that does not need to be heated before serving. We will also order hot foods via room service. We plan to serve food between 6:11 PM and 8:11 PM.
- Obviously, bring your $11 for the community bet on black eleven at 11:11 PM, down on the casino floor.
- Bring your swimsuit. The main indoor pool at Harrah's is adults-only and environmentally controlled for year-round comfort.
Who gets to sleep in the master suite bedroom?
The Waterfront Corner Suite comes with a king bed master bedroom and a master bathroom that are worth fighting over.
The Eleven Eleven Club president Trent Van Doren has foot the bill ($1,032) for the master suite and the adjoining two-bed room, which will be sublet from the Van Dorens by the Kohses for $294. We're estimating the rack-rate value of the master suite bedroom/bath at $400, so that leaves $338 as the net value for group use of the community space in the suite that evening. About $20 of the $33 "hospitality fee" will go toward covering that $338 balance, with the remaining $13 helping to defray costs for the food and bar amenities. (Should we have a surplus of guests covering all costs, the overage money will -- at the vote of the guests -- either be refunded on a pro-rated basis or pooled together to add more money to the 11:11 PM roulette bet.)
There is one pull-out queen sofa-bed in the suite's community space. Contact Trent at roulette11@aol.com if you are interested in subletting that space, and the club will adjust the hospitality fee calculations accordingly.
The Waterfront Corner Suite closes to club visitors at 12:12 AM on Saturday. Check-out time is 12:00 Noon.
