I just talked to Palace and here's the deal. Ratt, you must have been looking at Palace's website. Our total allocation for the friday and saturday night is:
Tower 140
Courtyard 180
Total 320
and right now, we've got 50 courtyard rooms (and 96 tower rooms) booked. All of the courtyard rooms that haven't been reserved are allocated to AMVIV, so the hotel website shows no courtyard rooms left. If you call and use the AMVIV code "PCIMVIV", you can still get a courtyard room at the group rate.
And yes, every hotel in Vegas offers non-smoking rooms. It's becoming harder to find smoking rooms these days than non-smoking.

It would be a lot harder to get that published in the Journal of Public Health.

Last time I asked about 1203, they weren't renting it at all, but they had had people offer several hundred dollars per night to stay there. It might be available by March.

It's not March yet.
But it IS getting closer.
Tell your Peeps to be careful at AMVIV, it's REAL close to Easter.
We have to work out what everything will cost, if there are any runs with fees involved that we can pre-pay, stuff like that, before the registration can go live.

I'LL BE BRINGING MY 'PEEPS' THIS YEAR... WOOT!
I am planning to be in Vegas in March sometime, no dates yet. I'll keep these dates in mind, I won't have my MINI with me.. it's just too far, but I'd love to see everyone else's, so I might stop by.
One of our biggest challenges with AMVIV is finding fun runs that can be done in 1/2 a day from Vegas. We're in the middle of a desert. There are a few great full-day runs, but a lot of people don't want to leave Vegas for a full day run when there is so much to do here. And even then, you're doing 100 miles of interstate to get to the 30-50 miles of fun roads, then 100 miles of boring roads back again. It's a problem.
I think that over the last 2 years, (this year was the 1st time we'd added new runs since 2005), we've taken people on most of the good, doable runs in the area. We've found a few other good roads to drive, but there isn't room at the end of the run for all the cars to stop for pictures. There are a couple of those that spring to mind. We're probably going to mix up the schedule and do runs from all prior years, and we're always looking for places that will work as an AMVIV run, but I don't know if we'll have any genuinely new runs this year. If AMVIV4 was your 1st time, there will absolutely be some runs that are new to you.
