Event Details
The Marine Embassy Guard Association will hold its 2019 Annual Reunion from April 25-29 2019 in Tucson, Arizona. It will be held at the Radisson Suites Tucson located at 6555 East Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85710.
Tucson and its environs are rich with a deep-rooted history and a culture grown from a landscape that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. In fact, the area we call Tucson is one of the oldest continually inhabited areas in North America. Explore untouched corners of the vast Sonoran Desert. Look up to the sky and see a million twinkling stars. Experience colors, flavors, sights and sounds that you once could have only imagined. Learn about Tucson’s aviation history at the Pima Air & Space Museum, the world’s largest privately-funded air museums. Walk through the Desert Museum with its desert habitats and a myriad of plant species. Ride a tram through the magnificent Sabino Canyon. Come join us in Tucson for the 2019 MEGA Reunion.
We will be staying at the Radisson Suites Tucson, April 25-29, located at 6555 East Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85710. Situated about six miles from The University of Arizona, Radisson Suites Tucson places guests less than five minutes from Park Place Mall and the city’s well-known Restaurant Row. The room rate is $114.00 plus tax per night based on single or double occupancy, including a daily Breakfast Buffet.

Make your reservations NOW, you may cancel your hotel up to 72 hours prior to arrival and not be charged. It is always best to make your reservation directly with the hotel and not a central hotel-chain call center. You may request specific room types when you call to make your reservations (handicap accessible room, etc.). The hotel check-in time is 4:00 pm. Please, do not expect to get into your room before then. They will ask you for a deposit or credit card number to guarantee your room reservation. The hotel is holding rooms until they sell out or March 19, 2019, whichever comes first. Don’t miss out on getting a room type of your choice. For those who choose to extend their stay, the group rate is available up to 3 days before and after, based on availability.
