Hotel Blocks
Below is the listing of available hotels for overnight tournaments. Nickel City families can secure rooms for tournaments by following instructions listed. Families are responsible to pull rooms by stated deadline to ensure availability and rate. We cannot guarantee rates or availability after booking deadlines have passed.
Hotels block information for all tournaments with an overnight stay are listed below. Additional details will be added as they become available.
Any player that will travel to a tournament with a teammate but need separate rooming arrangements, please notify us by email so the player can have a spot in a "player room". NCV staff will secure the room on behalf of the players but players will be responsible to split the room cost. You must notify us at least 24 hours prior to the room block closing to ensure a spot in a player room.
