“Indianapolis has two dates every owner should know by heart: the Indy 500 in late May and Gen Con in August. Both fill the city and can be priced a year ahead. Conventions and NCAA events add more, and Colts games fill autumn weekends. Between events, weekdays depend on business travel.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Indianapolis books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Indy 500 weekend as the top band, opened a year ahead with long stays.
Price Gen Con week as a second top band for homes near downtown.
Add NCAA tournaments and big conventions as premiums.
Add Colts home games for nearby homes.
Set weekday corporate rates between events.

Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
College basketball tournaments and spring conventions fill downtown; I price tournament weekends as premiums and keep two-night minimums near Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The whole month of May builds toward race day; I price qualifying weekends above ordinary May and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays near the Speedway.
Summer concerts and the Brickyard weekend lift some dates; I price those as premiums and keep other summer weekdays on business and leisure rates.
Gen Con fills downtown for several days; I price homes within a walk of the Convention Center highest and set minimum stays that cover all four convention days.
Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Indianapolis needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
If you own an Indianapolis home, I review how your Indy 500, Gen Con, convention and weekday pricing work together, check your position against the right comps, and build a plan with you that earns from events without leaving weekdays empty.
For Indianapolis hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you: event dates loaded a year ahead, minimum stays for the big weeks, and weekday rates between events, with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com kept consistent so event guests see one price.
Indianapolis hotels balance conventions, sports, racing and business travel. With my five-star hotel revenue background, I help with convention group pricing, event-week controls for the 500 and Gen Con, and weekday corporate rates that keep rooms filled in the quieter weeks between the big events.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
A year ahead. Many race fans return annually and book early. Alaa prices it highest with long minimum stays.
Yes, it is one of the busiest weeks of the year downtown. Alaa prices it as a top band.
Busier than usual, with qualifying weekends and practice days bringing race fans, but race weekend itself is the peak. I price qualifying weekends above normal May dates and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays, so the month earns rather than only one weekend.
Yes, both bring large groups to downtown in autumn. The National FFA Convention fills hotels in October, and marching band championships bring families in November. I price those dates as premiums, allow group bookings for larger homes and set clear guest limits so families and chaperones know what fits.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Indianapolis, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Eastern Time (UTC-5).
