32 HOURS OF NONSTOP FUN
Have Fun All Night
Planning on having fun all night at LIL-CON? Book a room in the con block of rooms at the Best Western PLUS for a discounted rate, or stay at any number of the surrounding accomodations, at their regular rates.
Get the most for your money and buy a Weekend Pass and enjoy the all night activities. Coming from out of town? The event is being held in the conference center of the Best Western PLUS in Lockport, NY so you can book a room for the night. There’s even a pool!
Of course! Keep in mind that you will not be allowed to re-enter the con without your pass, so don’t forget it!
Gaming will be round-the-clock and there will be some Panels and Entertainment through Midnight and beyond for the night owls, but you’ll need a Weekend Pass to stay past Midnight.
Yes! When you book your room, you let the hotel know that you are going to the convention so you get the special rate!
Those who stay at the hotel will get access to the pool and work out area, as well as complimentary breakfast from 6AM to 9AM.
