• Book Online: https://book.passkey.com/go/SH10ST5
• Book via the Harrah’s call center: 888-516-2215 (8am-2am EST, 7 days a week)
  • Group Name:  NEW JERSEY SHADE TREE FEDERATION 
  • Group Code:  SH10ST5
  • All callers will be asked for this code but can also book by saying ** Shade Tree Federation**

• Don’t get tricked into booking outside of group! The “unseen” fees & charges can total up $50-100 extra  tacked onto your bill depending on the options you choose when reserving and parking, effectively cancelling  out promotional “savings” sold to the public. Stick with the group as we’ve negotiated heavily with the venue to  be placed in the priority, Waterfront tower rooms, receive complimentary self-parking, and cut that pesky  “resort fee” by 65%! 

•  All hotel reservations, even when placed within our event group’s special discount room block, are an  agreement between the hotel guest and Harrah’s Resort. For further information on accommodations or help  with your hotel reservation contact Harrah’s Resort directly.
