[La_madam 20]

Im going Teresa..wouldnt miss it for nothing!

[hagerteresa 3]

Sweet!!! I didn't want to be the only one to show up! Hey, I wanted to go look for that new book by Jesse A. but I can't find the thread that had the book title and the authors full name. Any ideas? Thanks T

[MeganA 35]

Has anyone picked a hotel to stay at?

I think it would be fun if we could all stay at one- then we could hang out at the pool together and compare scars. :-)

Hey ladies, shhhhh. I mentioned this get-together to my husband, casually, and asked him if he ever wanted to see Vegas. He said "maybe."

Hey, it's not a NO!!

Does anyone know how long a drive it is from San Diego? Maybe I can piggyback a visit to my brother...

[donali 57]

Count me in!

Alexandra, it's about a 5 hour drive from SD to Vegas. You may want to check out flights from here, though - I think you can find some pretty cheap. It's a boring and tedious drive... I'm going to try and fly, but keep me posted in case I drive - you're welcome to tag along with me if I drive.

Teresa, here's the link to Jessie's book: http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/...n=0-595-31114-8

I am sooooo happy people are going to come. I love chatting with you all everyday and just can't wait to meet everybody in person. Alex I so hope you can come. It just wouldn't be the same without you. I am so excited!!!!!! Anyone seen Lisa lately?

Thanks for the link info on the book Donali. I finally found the original thread that mentioned it. I still have a border certificate and their online store said they carried. I of course wanted it NOW so went to the local store but they didn't have it. I will have to order it from online. Oh-well sigh.... T

Too cool Alexandra!!!!!

I did talk personally to a booking agent for about 7 rooms. I even mentioned the Excaliber. She was sapose-to get back to me.. no responce in 4 days?

Viva Los Vegas...

[hagerteresa 3]

I think Penni was going to work on the room aspect too. Not sure what she has found out. Where is Lisa? I thought they were only camping for the weekend but I sure haven't seen her on the boards since the week started... T

Hey guys, was waiting to get a head count of who wanted or thought they might be able to go to Vegas. Once I get a number then I can call and see about room deals.

I live in Los Angeles area and I am thinking about flying myself. IT is a long and boring ride for sure.

Southwest has great deals if you get them early. I just checked from Los Angeles / Burbank and it is $92 one way so that would be about $200 roundtrip.

American Airlines:

from LAX is $165 roundtrip (nonstop)

from San Diego is $399 (no nonstops)

I will look at hotels and see what I come up with for prices. What is the range of prices you guys are willing to pay?

How many of you are going?

[hagerteresa 3]

I'd be willing to share a room with somebody to help on cost. Is this a leave your husband at home trip? I probably only afford my own ticket to get there so I think I'll leave him home anyway. Somebody mentioned at one point that they can get discounts on tickets thru her office. Who was that and how can we take her up on it? Thanks, Teresa

[Vera 7]

Count me in. Definitely will share a room with any ladies. My cap will be $80.00 plus tax a night (sharing a room) I'll only spend 2 nights Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th.

I was goofing off and found TripReservations.com, what a list.. Choices include north strip, south strip, off strip etc...Where's Lisa? maybe she could suggest an area? I'm game with whatever you choice.

Sahara has rooms for $95 per night. Looks nice.
