"Interested in a gathering" established that Vegas is the destination of choice for LBT to meet.

So it's going to happen in Feb next year.

I'm thinking the first weekend of the month.

Chimboree are you still on board for helping coordinate this? Lori Ann? Others?

We can work as a group to set the details and get this ball ROLLING!

OHyeah.....I am sooooo there if I can manage it with school!!!!!! Will it be on the weekend????

I am so totally in. Provided I can put some money away for the occasion lol.

I really want to get this going. Come on LBTers...let's do vegas.

hi

i'd be interested to go. i can also help out to organize if you have a job for me

let me know

I'm started to recruit volunteers to organize this event. Send me an email at juligirl01@sbcglobal.net

Mark your calendars for February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

If you have a favorite place to stay in Vegas and want to suggest it, please tell us on this thread.

If there is a "MUST DO" activity you think would fit the group, add that as well.

Thanks everyone!

I'm definitely interested!!!

Based on location and price, I can recommend Bally's, Flamingo or Harrah's. If you want more upscale then Paris or Mirage. If you're not worried about location and more interested in value, then I'd suggest Luxor or Golden Nugget. The Luxor or Bally's is probably a good choice based on all factors considered. If folks will be bringing their kids along, I'd suggest New York New York.

I do know from previous calls that the Harrah's chain (which includes Ballys, Paris and Caesar's Palace & others ?) requires 21 rooms for a block. Otherwise you get the usual prices as found online.

I sent you an email. Count me in!

Consider me there! :whoo: I can also help with arrangements if and when you need me. My recommendation on where to stay would be Bally's. It's reasonably priced and centrally located. Although, since we probably won't be doing much sleeping or spending time in the room, we could go even cheaper, and then I'd suggest The Gold Coast.

I'm in. Flamingo is usually pretty cheap and right on the strip.

Hey Planner People

Thanks for the emails!

I'll create a group after a few days so we'll all be talking to each other.

I'm looking for us to all get into a chat room next week Monday night to wrap our hands around this.

I can do anywhere from 7-10 pm EST. Tell me what works for you. I could do later on Tuesday too.

Thanks,

Juli

I have your email on my list! I'll be sending out a group email on Sunday. I'm waiting until then to see how many more volunteers pop up. Though we have 6 already! Which is amazing.

I expect we'll be a group of 30-50 people, including spouces...easily we can get a block of rooms.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

Hello Las Vegas Bound Bandsters:

I am really excited about this trip. Juli, I sent you an email and would love to participate or lead wherever the need be. I live in Atlanta, Georgia and was banded on May 24, 2007. I think this trip would be an excellent reward for all of our hard work....it hasn't been exactly the easy but been worth it every step of the way. Juli, let me know what the next step is and I look forward to seeing everyone in February 2008.

Love to All....
