Question

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT TRANSPORTATON?WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT TRANSPORTATON?

Answer

We can't wait to party with you! But we also want to ensure your safety in getting home or back to your hotel. So please keep this in mind; because of the fairly remote location of the venue, UBER or LYFT may not be readily available at the end of the night (10pm). If you plan to take any of these services to the venue, we strongly recommend scheduling your pick-up ahead of time. However, please keep in mind it is not a guarantee. We recommend carpooling with other guests where available, or for those out of town we recommend renting a car if it is an option for you!
