I checked the place out today and started negotiations with the business manager.
Very nice hotel! A complete rennovation was finished last year. There are a few suites available, but mostly you get a choice between two queen-size beds (family) or a single king. (Garrett and mickey.)
The rooms are very nice. They all have individual climate control, two-line phones with voice mail, HBO, movies on demand, two sinks/vanities, small refrigerator, in room coffee maker, hair dryer, full-size ironing board and iron and data ports for high speed internet access. (Extra $10 per day for the internet access. Bring your laptops! There are ports for LAN, USB or modem, depending on what kind of hardware you have installed.) Some rooms are adjacent to the atrium swimming pool and hot tub area. Others are available with outside balconies or atrium balconies.
The atrium/swimming pool area is really cool! It's a long "T" shaped corridor, 4 stories high, with live trees and lots of nice patio furniture for casual hanging around. The pool is at the end of the atrium. There is also a hot tub.
There is a full service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch and dinner entrees are rotisserie-style. (Sp?) Room service is available.
There is free underground covered parking along with your room.
There are 4 ballrooms available, all in a row, and they can be opened up and combined into various sizes as needed for the big Awards Banquet on Sunday night. As many as 500 people could be accomodated for this. We'll need to get some numbers finalized as soon as possible so we can book the appropriate ballrooms. At the moment they're all available for that night. We have the choice of plated or buffet style meals. (I figure we'll go with the cheaper option in the interest of economy.) An almost endless variety of menu items are possible, so we'll put it to a vote or something later. Please e-mail me privately if you have any particular dietary needs and I'll see what they can do to accomodate you.
The hotel, being newly rennovated, is fully ADA compliant so you'll have no trouble if any member of your party is wheelchair bound.
A full service bar is available if you're so inclined. In Utah hard liquor can only be served in "private clubs", but every guest of the hotel gets a free "club membership." Kind of goofy, I know, but trust me: You can get just as smashed in Utah as anywhere else. You just need to know the ropes.
This will be the headquarters hotel for the GTG. The sales manager told me he'd sharpen up his pencil and try to get a group rate as low as possible in order to encourage as many members to stay there as economics will allow. As previously discussed there will be other options available for lodging, ranging from tent sites to the Stein Eriksen Lodge if you really want to get crazy with your lottery winnings. As a guess we're looking at $80 to $100 per night, single or double-occupancy. Families will be a bit more, obviously. Sounds like a lot to me, but then I'm a Motel 6 kind of guy. (Which will run you $40 to $50 per night down in Salt Lake. Spend the extra money!)
This place looks like it should be the best thing going in Park City for our needs. Start saving up your milk money! It's a very cool hotel. You'll like it.

p.s. Fully equipped exercise room, Mtn. Bike rentals available on property, and the free Park City town shuttle buses stop at the hotel, so you can get back to your room after an evening of bar-hopping on Main Street.
