FAQ Fellows & Residents
For the best experience, we recommend staying at the Wynn Encore for the duration of the event – that puts you in the best position to network with your peers and the event faculty. It also saves you from having to negotiate the notoriously long Las Vegas taxi queues. We’ll even transport you to and from the Cadaver Lab.
THE ROOM BLOCK IS NOW FULL (We have a room block available at a discounted rate – available on a first-come, first served basis. If you wish to stay at another location that is your choice )
The regular price for rooms is $1,200 per night, however they are available for $599 for Wednesday. $199 Thursday and $559 Friday.
The $1,400 reimbursement for travel/ accommodation recognizes the high cost of staying in Las Vegas. This is a higher reimbursement than last year – in recognition of the higher accommodation costs.
Contact [email protected] if you are interested in sharing a room with another fellow or resident.
