Tuesday Afternoon Activities

You’ll have the opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow Vasioneers outside of the office during a variety of activities Tuesday afternoon. Scheduling details will be available closer to CKO.

Travel

Flights

Employees are responsible for booking their own flights. We recommend booking as soon as possible and at least two weeks in advance for the best rates. Flights are available into both Las Vegas and St. George–we ask that you compare rates and select the most reasonable option in coach class only.

Transportation

Rental cars are only available if there is at least double occupancy per vehicle. Attendees must coordinate shared rental cars themselves, we will not be assigning groups. Single travelers flying into Las Vegas can book their individual reservation on the St. George Shuttle from Harry Reid International Airport to Vasion HQ. Travelers will then have to take an Uber or Lyft from the shuttle drop off to their hotel. Visitors are responsible for coordinating ground transportation to and from the office throughout CKO, either by rental car, another employee with a vehicle, or Uber and Lyft.

Hotels

A block of rooms is reserved at two neighboring hotels. Individual attendee reservation information will be sent closer to the event, including which of the following hotels you’ll be staying at:

Hyatt Place

1819 S 120 E, St. George, UT 84790

Holiday Inn

* Both hotels offer a complimentary breakfast.
