NSSF has learned that last week the Nevada Attorney General’s Office arrested an individual for allegedly running a hotel room reservation scam on unsuspecting SHOT Show exhibitors and attendees.
According to the Attorney General’s press release, Todd Harrington, through his company HDMC Group LLC, entered into agreements with several businesses between March and December 2010 to secure hotels rooms for various trade shows, including SHOT Show, but allegedly never made the hotel reservations as promised leaving these businesses out a significant amount of money and without a place to stay.
NSSF applauds the Nevada Attorney General’s Office for its actions in protecting tradeshows and their visitors. The SHOT Show continues to remind its exhibitors and attendees to exercise caution when dealing with unofficial third-party travel companies and housing providers.
Deals that sound too good to be true likely are. For peace of mind and easy access to the 2012 SHOT Show, book your hotel rooms with the show’s headquarter hotels — The Venetian and The Palazzo Hotels — directly through the SHOT Show website or by calling 866-587-4708 or 702-414-4100 (International).
Alternatively, exhibitors and attendees can book rooms through the show’s official hotel and travel partner onPeak online or by calling 800-388-8104 or 312-527-7300 (International) for the lowest guaranteed room rates at other area hotels risk-free.
