thank you for your reply. No I am not a part of the convention, but I found a room for a day later in the Aladdin Hotel for a 110 euro a night on another site... it's called www.lastminute.com I suppose that's a great deal during this period. Normally I always book my rooms througt PL or Hotwire, but this time I wanted to be sure. So I choose the safe way.
