Nashville- Are the Hampton Hotels Having Chirstmas in July?

I just found a great deal surfing the internet the last weekend in July in Nashville. The Hampton Inn Vanderbilt and Hampton In and Suites Elliston Place is givign away a $69.00 rate. I called the hotel to verify if this was possible- rack rate is $159 and they said they made a mistake but would honor the rate for all that called and asked for a $69.00 rate.

Go to there website at http://hamptoninnnashville.com or call the hotel direct at 615 329-1144 or 615 320-6060. I would love to hear your feedback if they did honor the rate.

Nashville to Host the 2018 World Cup!

If this statement was released by the Nashville CVB or Mayor Dean I think the city would riot! Not really, but you would have a lot of very excited business owners as the reported economic impact to Music City would be that of 12 Super Bowls. That's right, 12 Super Bowls.

This would be the Biggest Shot in the Arm our beloved city has ever received and YOU can help.

Support Nashville's Bid for 2018 World Cup
You can help Nashville in their efforts to win a hosting bid by attending the World Cup Final Game at the Nashville "Watch Party" that will be held at LP Field on Sunday July 11th @ 1:30pm.

The offical Watch Party kicks off at 12:30pm this Sunday at LP Field, with game time at 1:30pm. Admission is FREE, rain or shine! You and your family can watch the World Cup Final on the Jumbotrons and on televisions in the Club Level of LP Field.

There will be music, games for kids, drawings for big prizes, and the first 1,000 people will get a free Nashville Sounds ticket. Parking is Free in Lot R.

"The crowd needs to look like Nashville. Young, old, multi-cultural, music fans, sports fans - representative of the diverse community that we are," stated Butch Spyridon, President of the Nashville CVB.

This is a huge opportunity for the community of Nashville to rally after the flood and have a positive impact on the future of our city as the reported revenue that comes along with hosting is $400-$600 million.
