Long but interesting to read. This is the communication between myself and the owner of the tropics. I hope you find it interesting to read. !!!!!!!!!!! From: rory snyder [mailto:[email protected]] Roger, Sorry about the issues with myself and your new bar/rest tenants. I just wanted to provide what was promised to the people who came out to Palm Springs in 112 temp's. I am sending you a link if you want to check out some of the photo's http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=35619&forum=17&start=300 Thanks again for all your help. I am interested in doing it again next year if possible. But maybe mothersday weekend or late May.....it was Caliente out here. If you are interested. At that point the bar/rest should be operational so I can just run the show and send the business there way. Please let me know. Your crew including Tom Law were nothing less then AWESOME and made the guest feel at home Thanks again, Rory ************************************* Rory J Snyder mix-o'logist: one skilled in mixing spirits 949-463-6087 ************************************* Rory "WILDSVILLE MAN" Snyder Response From: roger@@@@@@@ Hi Rory, I am glad the event went well for you. We have no interest in an event in May as I have said many times. If you want to do the event again next year we have availability starting June 10 going off into the summer. We would need a guarantee of a full sell out and we would sell our 90 rooms at @@@ each plus service fee and tot tax. We found that the sell out of the weekend was not good for us because, with the property sold out Friday and Saturday in a block we suffered on the Thursday before and the Sunday after where would normally have guests staining for tails into and out of the weekend. We also sold out most weekends in June last year anyway. We have no requirement that you do business with the restaurant next year, but would prefer that you worked them into your package somehow. Thanks Roger. [ Edited by: Wildsville man 2010-06-16 19:21 ] Response by me RE: Tiki Caliente 2 Big thank you!!!!! Is the rate your giving me going up because your rates in general are going up? or are you looking to take a little more profit from the show? I believe you should make some profit besides the sell out but anything after June 10th they know they can go to the travel lodge or motel 6 starting in the $50-$70's range which controls my price adjustment up. So I can only raise the price so high. This year we got the rooms for @@@0 plus taxes which came to @@@@ a night. Both being good prices but I have people coming from the coast which is 70's-80's temp and we were 112 degrees. Harder to sell. Is it possible to get Mothers Day weekend or something else at a higher rate? or are you just not interested in May in general for the Event. I do have plan's of doing it yearly,but I did bring it back this year to help out the guy's from the Tropics Rest/Bar and we see how well that worked out. I am in talks with the Travel Lodge because of them having 150 rooms but Caliente is still my number one choice. So let me know what is possible. I enjoyed working with you again and just want to know any options before the wheels start turning for next year. It takes about 7 months to get this going and when it starts I can't change things that quickly. Thanks, ************************************* Rory J Snyder mix-o'logist: one skilled in mixing spirits 949-463-6087 ************************************* Response Hi Rory, If you can do it at the Travel lodge you should do it there. Thanks [ Edited by: Wildsville man 2010-06-16 19:26 ] |
