Westend what do you do for Hilton that is going to take you to Williston? Are they building a hotel out there because of the Oil Boom?
AFAIK, there are major hotel chains with new buildings going up in Williston and surrounding area. Some of them are rumored to be booked 3 years out with corporations reserving the spaces. One of my BIL's is servicing the hotel building contractors with temporary heaters and air conditioners. He is grumbling a lot because he has to stay in Bismark, ND when he visits. It is a two+ hour drive each way to Williston so his days get long when he calls on his customers.
Snap, there's an idea, park the Cowboy Hilton closer to town and rent it out to him and his cronies at exhorbitant daily rental rates. Muuhahhahha.:W
FWIW, I plan to visit and may be staying near the Bakken, depending on what I find up there for business opportunities. A lot of construction businesses from my area (MN) are heading up there for the guaranteed work and the premiums on pricing.
