Hey guys, let's as many as can get together somewhere, Vegas was a suggestion, and finally meet each other.

Any thoughts?

I would help organize the event.

hotels.com is only 82.00 a night for the Sahara

Penni have you called any ofg the hotels to see if you can get a group rate? Sometimes this works if you have a certain number of rooms going to be booked. Just a thought.

Michelle: I was hoping ot have a number to tell them first. I need to know who is committed to going. Then once I get a rough number I will call them and see what I can get.

Count me in...maybe you should do a thread "head Count For Vegas..or something like that to get as many of us to reply and committ.

Sorry I was gone for so long but now I'm back & can make some calls.

For those really needing to save a buck, I'll gladly check prices and availability on some of the small motels along the Strip (decent rooms but no casino attached.) Just let me know. Everything is within walking distance, plus there are few free trams that transport from casino-to-casino. Also, the bus comes on the Strip every 10 minutes, so transpo is no problem.

I personally like the long drive from either San Diego or The San Fernando Valley. Perhaps it seems shorter to me since I've done it quite a few times though. I love blasting good music and getting lost in the drive. You could rent an economy car for about $20 a day to save mileage on your own. If any husbands are coming that are of the "caveman" variety and grunt in the garage about Unions, pipes, welding, tools, then Chris will be perfect company for them.

If anyone wants to stay longer, we could drive to Kingman, AZ (an hour away that takes us across the Hoover Dam) to explore cool abandoned mines at the historical ruins in Cerbat, AZ. Don, you could even bring your detector! I love playing tour guide!

I'm New here, but I know no one that has been banded, so it would be fun for me! You can count me in!

A thin friend of mine told me that when her son was young, he was obsessed with fat people. He wanted to BE fat!!! I loved that story.

My 4 yo son said " Mom, I wish I could be fat like you so that all of the kids can jump on me. That would be fun!" He also loves fat people.

If you visit this site and are interested in attending the OCtober Vegas BAsh then please go to the board entitled "Head count for October Vegas trip"

THanks

now that I know that this is a go I will check in on flights today. We get a discount through a company called Frontier - I guess they are trying to make a name for themselves and are offering a 45% discount on fare. I will check it out tomorrow and see what the rates are. I will let everyone know tomorrow.

IF you are or have responded here to say you are coming in October please visit the Head Count thread so we can get an accurate number.

I will close this thread in a few days. So please go to this board to respond.
