    Hello,

    I am going to be visiting las vegas at the end of July. I see one cannot order a dell product to a hotel address. Is there perhaps anyway around this? It would be too expensive to ship the laptop to where I come from, so that is not an option.

    You can differ Billing address to Delivery Address. You can get your delivery everywhere you want, theorically, the reciptionnist of your hotel should call your room for you to pick-up your parcel.

    You could try to have it shipped to any address in your area, and then have the carrier hold the shipment for you at their location rather than try and deliver it. You'll have to go pick it up at the carriers local office, but might be a way around your issue. You'll have to show photo ID when you pick it up, so make sure the name you ship to matches your ID.

    On second thought, you could also probably have it shipped to either FedEx/Kinkos, or a UPS Store address and they'll hold it there for you. Not sure how that works, but I believe its possible.

    When I ordered my M14x R2 recently the carrier was FedEx, I had NBD shipping. Not sure if Dell uses FedEx for all packages, but you should call and confirm the carrier.

    Hope this helps
