Sorry for not sending out a meeting 196 notice.

I was assuming Craig would do it ;->

Fairfield is no longer offering two queen beds on our group rate, so
you're stuck with one king bed.

Use

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/LASFI?groupCode=JTFJTFB&app=resvlink&fromDate=10/7/11&toDate=10/17/11

This will default to October 7-17, so change the dates if you're
arriving later or departing earlier.

Or you can go to the general reservation page:

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lasfi-fairfield-inn-las-vegas-airport/

Use group code JFTJFTB (King) at the bottom of the reservation search
panel on the right side of the page.
