[Crypto-chi] Man-in-the-Middle Attack?

Hey All,

So I was looking into attending B-Sides Las Vegas which is at the
Tuscany hotel. I tried accessing the following URL over Tor to inquire
about room availability:

https://www2.tuscanylasvegas.com/smsworld/wc.dll?smsWorld~Availbox~&wsi=port

I get a certificate error: sec_error_unknown_issuer

I tried accessing the site using several different Tor circuits and got
the same thing.

However, I tried the same URL outside of Tor and get a certificate
signed by GoDaddy.com. Is this a man-in-the-middle attack or is there
some legitimate reason for this?

Thanks,
eviljoel
