Hey everyone!
I hope I can be a help to the Wildcats (especially after your big win against KU)! My wedding is the same weekend as the Big 12 Tournament in KC and I have some extra rooms in my room block at the hotel. We are at the Westin in Crown Center and our group rate is currently $125 a night. You can get a room with two full size beds to hold four people or one king size to hold two people. The hotel offers a shuttle service, but it's located pretty close to the Sprint Center. Rooms will be available from March 11-18, so you can stay all week if you need to! Here's a link to the hotel website if you just want to look at the location, rooms, etc.: http://www.westincrowncenterkansascity.com/
If anyone is interested or has any friends or family traveling in from out of town who might want to a room or two, please let me know! I'll post a link if enough people are interested, or you can directly message me and I'll send it out that way. I have a lot of K-State fans very near and dear to my heart, so I hope this helps someone out!

great scoop! can I get an invite to the reception?
-
lol, depends! Will you buy us a gift from the registry?
-
Pets allowed?
-
Looks like yes!:
Pet Policy
The hotel accepts dogs that weigh less than 40 pounds for no additional charge. Guests with dogs over this weight limit are billed a one-time, non-refundable fee of $50 per stay. Upon arrival, we'll offer you a Westin Heavenly Dog Bed and a welcome amenity with information and supplies for your pet. Guests with dogs will be required to sign a damage waiver upon check-in.
Here's the link to that: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/announcements.html?propertyID=1039

Guys, you can do that or just stay at my place downtown for free. I'll probably stay at my girlfriends that week, so you guys can do whatever you want. Just make sure to clean up after yourselves. #1cat

-

But of course!

As far as I can tell from the website. If you'd like, I can contact the hotel and ask about cats, snakes, hamsters, etc. etc.!

how many starwood points do you have? I have 131k.
-
No, he's a dog. I just don't like Trooper mixing with other types of animals. Please confirm this place is dogs only.

I don't have any, alas.

You could probably live in the wedding hotel Dylan-style for like a year for free.

Just called. Dogs only.

call and ask if they will make an exception for one ferret as a one time deal.

I believe you! My dad also has that sort of deal but I'm not enough of a world traveler to build up the points.

If sd and his ferret are there, Trooper and I are out.
No disrespect to sd; it's more about the ferret.

Aww, ferrets are all right. But no ferrets allowed at the hotel.

Hey all,
I'm going to hop off for just a bit, but I'll be back on in an hour or so! Please feel free to PM or email me if you'd like a link to sign up for a room and get our group rate! We are more than happy to give rooms to your friends and family as well. You could have a block of purple there! Also, some rowdy wedding guests, so we'll probably all get along. :)

Can I bring my glass potato?
-
AppleJack got his name back! :D
-
i dunno, guys. sounds like a trap.
-
Can I bring my glass potato?
JFC. Can we get a complete list of who's going to be in this hotel and what weird crap they might be bringing so I can know if this will be a safe environment for Trooper?
-
AppleJack got his name back! :D
:Woohoo:
-
groman, is it a requirement that we be going to the Big 12 Tournament to get one of these rooms? My mom said she would drop me off and buy me a weekend pass to LegoLand (right around the corner from the Westin!) if I found a place to stay for the weekend.
-
Do you have anything at the Marriott?

It is absolutely not a requirement! We just don't have enough guests to fill our rooms and thought that a lot of people would be in town for the Big 12 Tourney that weekend. But yeah, anyone who needs a room is welcome to have one!
-
Do you have anything at the Marriott?
No. :( Sorry. I actually did contact that Marriott but they didn't back to me. Jerks. I know the Westin is a little further away than the downtown hotels, but it's still pretty close!
-
I'm gonna drink so much soda in my hotel room :excited:
-
i dunno, guys. sounds like a trap.
IT'S A TRAP! But not really. I have a wedding website and everything! I'm just afraid to post it out in the open with trolls lurking about and such. :)
-

Haha! Go for it. Would you like me to send you the link to the group rate? I can PM it to you.
-

Err...I don't know. What's a glass potato and is it legal?
-
groman are you a Cat's fan? :ksu:
-
groman are you a Cat's fan? :ksu:
My favorite Big 12 team! That's why I'm trying to offer you guys the deal first. I'd prefer not to have any KU fans lurking about. ;)
-

As of right now, nobody, except the guests for my wedding. So it looks like you're safe.

Hi Groman!
I am interested in staying in this hotel for the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City. I'll be driving up with my wife from Frisco, TX Wednesday evening so I'll need to stay in the hotel Thursday-Saturday night. Is this possible? We are Kansas State fans I promise. Although sometimes when my wife gets cranky she will root for Texas because she wants to make me mad. Yuck! Hate Texas!
OK so I don't have any idea what "PM" means? What do the rooms look like? I am a special case because I cannot see my wife going to the bathroom. I know its weird but that's just how it is. Can you find out if any of the rooms have a second bathroom that might be hidden? She can use the bathroom and I will use the second one. If I have to get a second room to get the other bathroom I can but I'll have to put it under a fake name or have one of you guys register for it (you can use my debit card). Do you think that's possible? Oh and you can get a king size bed, we sleep in the same bed. Are there any Taco Bells close to the hotel? My wife pretty much exclusively eats Taco Bell. We won't bring our dog George either. He can stay with my wife's parents.
OK sorry for so many questions. Just let me know what the hotel says!
Thanks,
-Larry T
-
Groman - did you call the hotel and ask about glass potatoes?
I'll need to know by this evening at the latest. If they allow glass potatoes then they'll likely allow dulcimers.
Trim - would Trooper feel comfortable around dulcimers?
-
call and ask if they will make an exception for one ferret as a one time deal.
Hey, that's a nice marmot, man.
-
Dibs on officiating the wedding. Don't worry Grogan, will be a classy affair. Do you like magic? I can sprinkle some of that in if need be.
-
If Steve Dave feeds his marmot johnsons, I'm not going anywhere near this place.

Means private message! I sent you one.

Do they have bunk beds in this hotel? If so I'm totally in!
My birthday is that weekend so I'll probably just bring my Xbox One(Yup, Christmas present) to the room and me and all my buds can game it up without mom and dad telling me to go to sleep at midnight.
Can you send me the link so I can have my mom book the room? Also we will probably need 2 rooms so my parents can stay next door and make sure we don't throw flour bombs out the window(all tommy's fault we got caught at the baseball tournament last summer).
DIBS ON TOP BUNK!

"Look what I found, a diamond ring. Considering its such a special day, you would think the bride would take more pride in cleaning out her ears" [Pause for laughter]

well this thread is certainly a pleasant surprise and groman is easily in the top ten percent of posters on this board after reading his work here.

Pretty sure no bunk beds, but there is an option where you can add a suite to a regular room that has plenty of couches and a TV and stuff!

OK I don't know how to check my messages. Where did you send it? To my email? Wish this was easier like Facebook!
You are the bride? OK this might be a little nosey but do you poop in front of your fiancé? Is it always room clearing quality stuff. My wife is horrible. I can't stand it. Do you have any tips? I didn't live with her before we got married so I had no idea she was this ripe.

this actually does not shock me. although we only have like five other female posters, they are all really good as well. also, the larrysthompson guy is a sock and not a very good one at that. ignore him and welcome to the board.

we really should get the bride and groom a gift
-

-
matching dvd net shirts?

or maybe a dvd net shirt for bride, and a shirt of the shirt for groom, or vis versa?

Hi groman! First off, let me start by congratulating you on your big day. Stop by Tubby's in aggieville sometime (with or without your fiance) and I'll buy you a drink.
Also, you may want to sign up for the 7-day free trial at my website too so that you can post this information there. Most of my posters aren't nearly as affluent as the crowd here so they are very likely to jump on such a fantastic offer.
In lieu of ordering something from your registry, I'd like to offer you a free year's subscription to gopowercat which will include the print version as well. Once you sign up for the free trial, simply post a topic to the attention of GPCwallace and let him know that I've approved your free year. You're all set!!

Awww shucks. No kids allowed at the wedding. Seeing as we have an open bar. But the hotel does have a shuttle that can take you other places around town!

great call not allowing kids at a wedding with an open bar groman. the horror of alcohol and someone under the age 14 or so in the same building is too much for me to imagine. chills.

Groman, in case you didn't know, Rick daris is a sheriff.

You should really consider letting everyone bring their children to your expensive open bar late Saturday night reception. It's hard to find sitters

Do you have anything at the Marriott?
No. :( Sorry. I actually did contact that Marriott but they didn't back to me. Jerks. I know the Westin is a little further away than the downtown hotels, but it's still pretty close!
you are still downtown, no worries.
