We have reserved rooms in the Embassy Suites Hotel, which normally come with a breakfast, so it's my understanding that we will not be receiving FIRST Currency for breakfast at the venue. I have e-mailed THS to clarify why we are paying the same price for the package as people staying in the more expensive Omni hotel, who will be getting $24 worth of breakfast currency. I also asked if the "reasonable rates" for food that FIRST has asked for, will be available for purchase with regular dollars, or only available with FIRST Currency.

To give you the historic answer, how it's been in the past, it would be yes and no. I recall a few years ago when other teams could pay a event fee and attend the party, but I believe that last year in Houston this was not the case.
For the food, I never paid US cash for it, but I do seem to recall price lists at the 2000 nationals.
So I really can't give you a good answer, other then FIRST has gone both ways on the party.
