Out of curiosity, about how many of those 500 cars did you sell during the show?
Most times I sell 50 to 200 cars a show.
 I also sell my 3D printed and laser cut stuff.

For a bucket list experience, one might want to stay at the Hotel Bethlehem.
https://www.hotelbethlehem.com/

I checked the rates for the nights of the convention.  Cheapest is $244/night.  Might be a bucket list for other reasons but not for the NSE convention for reason mentioned above and other reasons.

You need to book through the NSE Convention portal to get the convention rate.
 Here the link

I was quoting Point353's suggestion of Hotel Bethlehem, which I checked to be $244/night for those nights as the convention.  The price is not Wind Creek ($170 plus tax).

And I speak from personal experience, Rodney has a ton of fun doing it!

The days of miles of collector only pricing are Loooooooooong gone. Prices down., selection up, from ALL manufacturers. Speaking of which, one of the very best things at the convention is getting to talk with manufacturers about whats coming, what they should bring out, and what problems you have with their products. This is the largest concentration of N Scale Manufacturers all year.

The other amazing thing at the show are the layouts, which are operating all the time. Make friends, run a train, see some amazing techniques demonstrtated, and take in a clinic or two. Saturday can be a great day.

Yes, the room sales are for convention registered folks only, and we can't change that due to hotel security reasons, but there are bargains galore both in the rooms and in the Swaparama,.

Just checking so I don't have egg on my face in a month. If I only plan to visit the public show on Saturday I don't need to do any per-registration I just pay at the door correct?

George,

Will there be/is there an app for room sales similar to the one we had in Nashville in 2022?

Correct; if you're just going to the public show, you can pay at the door.  Per the convention website, it's $10 for an adult ticket.
