Outside contractors, production companies, etc. and their employees must enter the resort through the Resort associate entrance or the Resort’s loading docks. Upon entering the building independent contractors will be issued a visitor’s badge from Resort Security and will need to sign in a logbook indicating name and company. Upon leaving the Resort they will be required to turn in their visitor pass, sign out and exit through the Resort’s associate exit or either loading dock. Smoking, eating and drinking is permitted in designated areas only. The Resort’s Employee Cafeteria is reserved for Resort Associates only and may not be used by outside personnel. Use of the public bathrooms is also restricted. Outside personnel may use the associate bathrooms located near all ballroom areas in the back aisles. Smoking is only permitted outside security. Fighting, creating disturbance, horseplay, disorderly conduct or the use of abusive language is a violation of resort policy and will result in immediate removal of the individual(s) from the premises. Theft, attempted theft, misappropriation of property or aiding of such acts will also result in immediate removal from the property with possible criminal prosecution. FIRE ALARM SYSTEM Our Resort is equipped with a laser beam system in all ballrooms that when broken will activate alarms. Resort Personnel must be notified prior to using any lifts or raising any equipment higher than 15’. Please contact the PSAV Audio Visual Department by dialing 210‐865‐4421 or by using any house phone and dial O for the operator. The Event Technology Department will coordinate the sensors being temporarily deactivated with our Engineering Department. They will need to know what room or rooms will be used and the approximate times the sensors should be deactivated. Using Lifts and or raising equipment over 15’ should not commence without express permission from Event Technology that the sensors have been deactivated. Failure to follow this procedure inevitably will set off the alarms and could cause a great disruption for anyone in the ballroom area. Once the work has been completed, please again call the Event Technology Department to have the sensors reactivated. Please also note that it is our practice to reactivate sensors on a regular basis unless specifically directed not to do so. Never assume that the sensors have been deactivated because they were off yesterday. When in doubt, please call and verify. Foreign substance, not heat or smoke activates the fire alarm system in the Hotel. Programs in which equipment such as fog machines, laser shows, special effects, etc., must have written and stamped approval by the Bexar County Fire Marshall three (3) weeks prior to the event. Submit all drawings to event manager who will submit to the Fire Marshal for approval. Only water based fog/haze machines are to be used inside the resort. Oil based is not allowed. Any use of a water based fog/haze machine requires a fire watch – this includes rehearsals. If a diagram requires the blocking of Exit Doors, Fire sirens/strobes, etc. it must be indicated. Exact requirements to meet approval for this are available through your event manager . Should the activity in the ballroom require the use of a "Fire Watch," additional charges will apply Additional information is available upon request. Page 1 of 12 (2020 Production Guide)
