Q&A
1. Who is invited?
The WestJetters and Friends Las Vegas Invitational golf event is open to all WestJet employees and their friends. If you have more than a foursome, that’s ok too! Please provide us with your guest list, and contact emails, so we can forward all relevant information to them.
2. What is the cost?
There are two separate payments required for those playing golf. The first is to our event treasurer ($150CDN) to cover transportation between Planet Hollywood and Badlands Golf Course each day, prizes, and, of course, $US exchange rates! And the second is to Badlands Golf Course ($201.50US) for golf, breakfast each day, and open bar after golf. If you wish to take advantage of the room rates we have secured at Planet Hollywood we will provide our unique reservations link so that you can reserve your room for $108/night for November 7th, 8th and 9th, $128 for the10th, $208 for the 11th and $220 for the 12th based on single or double occupancy.

We have a limited number of rooms guaranteed at this rate so book early to be sure you get one at these rates.
