I want to leave the convention to get food/go to my hotel room/etc, can I come back in?
Of course! Your badge is valid for re-entry, so you can skip the registration line and go straight to the bag check at the venue’s entrance. We do not offer replacement badges, so make sure you don’t forget your badge!

How do I book a hotel room for Anime NebrasKon?
If you go to our hotel room reservation page, you will be able to select a variety of hotel rooms to book from.
If I can’t make it to Anime NebrasKon, can I cancel my reservation?
Yes, you can cancel your reservation at any time. If you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, there is no charge for canceling your reservation. If you fail to cancel your reservation at least 24 hours in advance, the credit/debit card you used for the reservation may be charged for the equivalent of one (1) night’s stay at the hotel.
How many days can I book my reservation for?
The room rates for all hotels are valid from the Thursday before con to the following Monday.
Will rollaway beds (cots) be available?
Rollaway beds will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The hotel(s) have a limited number of rollaway beds available for use and when they run out, they run out. For this reason, we strongly recommend that attendees do not rely on being able to get rollaway beds when figuring out sleeping arrangements.
Can I wait to get a room on the day of the convention?
No. Although some reservations are inevitably canceled, the odds of being able to get a room at the hotel(s) without making a reservation in advance are effectively zero.
Will you be partnering with other hotels?
Yes! Because we sell out the entire hotel each year, we’ll be partnering with other hotels in the area to ensure Anime NebrasKon attendees get discounted rates.
I forgot to reserve a room and the con is only a week away! Help!!!
Sorry, but we can’t help you out there; if the hotel is full there’s nothing we can do. We encourage you to try one of our partnered hotels to see if you can get a room nearby.
Who can I contact if I have further questions about the hotels?
If you have further questions about our partnered hotels, please do not hesitate to contact our hotel team at hotel@animenebraskon.com.
