Lake Mead Tigeowners Reunion

[chpthril]

This is what scares me about going through a 3rd party site to book.

chpthril, nearest town is Searchlight, NV - may be hotels up there, but I wouldnt recommend it - its about 13.5 miles. If the hotel booking doesnt pan out, we may end up looking closer at a houseboat.

I called cottonwood cove. They told me to call tomorrow afternoon to verify they received our reservations. I know when I have booked at some resorts they reserve a block of rooms for booking sites. I have gotten rooms before through booking .com when the resort said they were full. I am positively hopefully.

Thanks for looking into it further xpjim1 - let's hope it works out.

I know Searchlight is close but can't speak to the quality of hotels....Laughlin is the next bet or Boulder City/Henderson. The camping is a good option and a few of us will have our RVs there for a little base camp as discussed in my last post. Hopefully this works out with space to accommodate everyone!!

Laughlin would be the closest. The motels I have seen in searchlight look very sketchy

[Bad05]

Agreed!!

Great post Dave, I posted as well. I also tried to post to their FB page but was not allowed to for some reason.

Ok, its official, no rooms at cottonwood.

Back to Temple???????

temple is wide open on phone with them right now

I would definitely like the motel by the lake. I read reviews on the el Rey and bv motels in searchlight which were not that bad. Really did not want to drive the 15 miles after hanging on lake and with Tigeowners afterwards. Need to get a consensus quickly. Keep temple bar or cottonwood.

I received notification from Forever Resorts (via booking.com) that they are full, so the booking.com effort failed as well. I personally would much rather stay at Cottonwood if for no other reason than the water level and launch ramp. Sadly, my wife said her dry camping days are behind her. Hmmm - that houseboat option is looking more and more attractive. I vote Cottonwood, even if we have to drive 15 miles to the launch every day.

Maybe we can look into their trailers as well. We met a guy out there a few trips ago that has one. I can reach out to him to see if he would rent it or know of any others that do. That is right by the launch ramp behind the hotel there.

You may have heard it in the movies, "If you build it, they will come". Well, I'd like to put a little spin on that tonight. Offshore Marine wouldn't build it, but if someone else is interested in building it, would you be interested? O.k., O.k., I'll get to the point... We have an interested sponsor (dealer) if we can show enough interest in holding the event a little further down river. In Parker, AZ at https://www.bluewaterfun.com. The good - The dates remain the same (Sept 18-20), the Hotel is on the water (dont make reservations just yet though, I'm talking to the group sales rep tomorrow for good rates), there are plenty of rooms available, they have a wakeboard park, and the following weekend they are hosting the http://www.wakesurfchampionships.com/location.html. The bad - a little further out than some of you are willing to drive - that's the only downside I can think of. My plan - make sure there is enough interest on this thread and firm it up tomorrow afternoon. If I see enough "Im interested" posts, I will start a new thread to attract more attention to the event for those from So. Cal... a title with something real deep and well thought out - like "Parker AZ Tigeowners Reunion". Let me know ASAP.

[Dan and Christy]

We're good with Parker. Might be nice to have a dealer give a crap about the people who keep them in business.

I'm good for that weekend and good for Parker, I'm excited that I'll be able to make it this year.
