Welcome home campers! You asked for it and you got it! Your friends and debauched neighbors from Barbie Death Village are once again, as our gift to Black Rock City, offering our J Resort (formally The Sands Regency) Hotel Deal for 2023. This deal is for all burners not just Barbiebarians coming to or leaving from Burning Man. Here are the details (taxes and resort fees are not included; all casinos charge them):

Monday, August 21 to Thursday, August 24: $55
Friday, August 25 to Saturday, August 26: $159
Sunday, August 27 to Thursday, August 31: $55
Saturday, September 1 to Tuesday, September 5: $159
Wednesday, September 6 to Thursday, September 7: $55

You must call (866) 386-7829 or (866) FUN-STAY and ask for BARBIE23. We have taken down several floors of rooms and each room sleeps 4 (12 if you're sponsoring the orgy). The J Resort has a free sauna, large 15 person jacuzzi, steam bath, ice machines on every floor, large outdoor swimming pool, and ample free parking. There is even covered free parking you can use for the duration of the week if you're carpooling to the playa. There is also a free shuttle to and from the airport and the J Resort is five short blocks from the Amtrak station.

Never let it be said that Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro (a wholly owned subsidiary of Barbie Death Village doesn't unselfishly give back to the burner community. You my friends are indeed welcome. See you on the playa!

Has anybody taken advantage of this yet? Enquiring minds want to know.

I think I have some friends who want to. How early are rooms available on the deal?

Oh, duh. Never mind. I'm not myself today. That leaves the question though...who am I?

It’s the Jands!
Where locals wear jorts and go to jamble

Oh yeah! They changed the name. Is Mel's Diner still there? That was the best part of staying there after the burn, before the trek home.

I’m not sure,I heard it shut down but that may have just been due to construction.

Per their website, it is permanently closed

Mel's Diner is now at Boomtown. But closed? No, that can't be right. More likely they hadn't just yet opened it and it defaulted to the 2022 site. PM me if problems persist.

The Jands did a lottttt of changes inside and out. I really don’t think it’s there anymore. But you can catch a burger at Boomtown

As far as I know, I was under the assumption the deal is open now. If that is wrong PM me and I'll try to take care of it.

Just giving this another little bump so it's not "out of sight, out of mind".

You guys are the best! Thanks for your efforts.

Just called last night and used your amazing discount code - prices as listed - thank you so very much for this gift!! <3 XOXO Emily

Emily, I am very pleased that you're happy. Be sure to drop by Barbie Death Camp 6:30 and E. Just ask for Doc and I'll spring for a cocktail.

that Doc Pyro.
Does the giving never end?
What a peach!

Just got back from the J Resort this morning and they already have 35 rooms booked. My goal is to try and get 100. I am going to post this on the Burning Man 2023 Facebook page. Hopefully they won't automatically take it down. Since we don't make a profit from this and it really is something to help the burner community, maybe they'll let it fly. We'll see soon enough I suppose.

Thank you for doing this. My husband and I are thinking of booking for Sat night pre-gate, but noticed on the Jands (heheh love the snark) website the nightly rate is 142.00 - any idea why the difference? If no idea than will book with the group rate to hope in the future you all can get a lower rate.

Also please no snark, is the J Resort safe to leave a packed SUV in the parking lot overnight?

Thanks

It should be safe people have been parking packed rv’s, cars, etc for years there. They may have even improved security. And I thank you for keeping “The Jands” a thing

I stayed there about a week ago.
A little construction noise during the day, not bad and none at night.
Room had been remodeled as had the lobby/ entrance area.
Mel's is gone.
Food in the buffet has improved but chicken was rubber. Other restaurants where expensive but I'm a cheap SOB.
Parking lots where torn up, construction in progress. Enough for patrons now but I think they will need space for Burners. They might be finished by late August.

They’ve got extra parking lots along Ralston St (backside of Jands)

Thanks for the updated info.

There are still a few rooms available! Just letting you know.

This is now filled and no more rooms are available. Anybody need a ride on Friday to the playa? I have a box truck and should be able to help. Looking at mid-morning. I will stop if Indian Tacos are available in Nixon! But you will need your own WAP.

Does anyone know if Barbie Death Camp will reserve rooms for 2024?

I've been working on this with the J Resort. They said they'd get back to me sometime this week. Keep your fingers crossed. It will be renamed (assuming they allot me the rooms) the Doc Pyro Reno Hotel Deal since I have changed camps (Kindergarten Kamp, 6:45 and C). As soon as I know anything, either good or bad, I'll let you know.
