I went this year for fairly reasonable. I only went for 4 days though.

It depends on what you want to do at WPPI. Are you going to do a bunch of the classes or just the trade show along with the free shows?

I dont know where you are flying from, but airfare is a big portion of the cost. Figure $200/night at any given hotel. 2009 WPPI will be at the MGM. There's a special for $179 a night.

Transportation along the strip isnt too bad depending how much you go up and down it. We walked quite a bit and only spent maybe $75 on taxis.

I'm from Brazil. And yes, I'll go mainly for the classes. Anything cheaper about the hotel :)? Is this price for person?

Thanks

Well you'll have the WPPI membership fee, along with the fees to attend the classes. I really dont know what you're looking for exactly.

Visit www.wppionline.com (external link) and contact them for more information.

I was able to bring my wife as my guest at no extra charge.
