UPDATE: 3:05 PM CT — Rooms are still available at the Sheraton and Westin. The only room format not currently available is one-king rooms at Westin. King rooms at Sheraton, as well as two-bed rooms at either hotel are still available. At our latest check, there were also rooms still available at Harrah’s.
Host Hotel Link: Harrah’s (Sun Sept 1 – Sun Sept 8)
Arriving earlier than Sun Sept 1? See below for more information.
One other note: The booking website for Sheraton and Westin lists two different distances to the airport. This is an error. The two hotels are across the street from each other, connected by an enclosed over-the-street walkway.
If you haven’t already done so, see read below for important tips in making your reservations.
MONDAY, JULY 8 — 3:00am CT
At noon CT on Mon July 8, NAGAAA will post the links to the host hotel group booking blocks. The links will be posted exclusively at myGSWS.com.

• Dates outside of the NAGAAA room block (Sun Sept 1 – Sun Sept 8) must be handled directly with Harrah’s. The NAGAAA room rate will not apply for days outside of our official room block.
• In our preparations with Sheraton and Westin last week, however, we discovered a bug in the reservation system, appearing to add fees for triple or quad occupancy. The website may be confusing…
• The solution: Book your rooms as DOUBLE OCCUPANCY, even if three or four people will be staying there.
• Then, when you get to Kansas City, the front desks at Sheraton and Westin will work it out at no extra cost.

Where is the list of teams? It’s Aug 21…shouldn’t that be somewhere already?
The list of teams has been pushed out on the NAGAAA Facebook page. 207 teams this year!
