I will be willing to start to look into going to Vegas for a gathering. First we all need to decide when we want to go. I was thinking that a weekend or a long weekend would be the best. I have never been there so I will need so help on where to stay. Most places give discounts on groups of twenty or more. Please post on when will be the best time for you to go and I will try to figure out when is the best for most of us.

I'm a local and for some reason, the Excalibur seems to have the best rates for the money.

well hubby and I have mulled it over and over and over and as it stands now we won't be joining you all in Vegas :-( I'm sure you all will have a blast!!

I'm with you Holli... I don't think that I'll make it this year either. :smile2: Financially I just can't do it. I have a bunch of friends going in May and they are all bugging me to go, but I just CAN'T! Between trying to get my credit cleaned up and finishing my degree... I just don't see a vacation in my near future...

Well, been hearing about a Vegas trip....and it doesn't seem like it's happening.

Am off to Vegas this weekend, will leave Friday. Staying on the Fremont

dinner Friday night will be at Arizona Charlie's

off to the Excalibur

then to the Stratosphere tower

El Cortez for the trolly to First Friday

Then Fremont Experience til I get too tired.

Saturday is Breakfast at the Orleans followed by a beauty package. Then lunch at the Suncoast then to the Venetian for the Grand Canal Shops. Then a makeover at 2 then more shopping.

Dinner at Margaritaville then the Masquerade show at the Rio, followed by the Bellagio for the garden, chocolate fountain, and water show.

Then back to the hotel.

I plan to bring straws and a 'cup' in my bag to carry with me throughout the day. Plenty of napkins...just in case.

I'm sure I'll have fun at the buffets but know if I eat more than 3-5 bites I'll be sliming it up.

Y'all if you are in Vegas this weekend let me know. I'd love to meet another bandster.

I would still like to go LV. I don't get home till the 12th of March but anytime after that I will go. Anyone else want to go? Or even if anyone wants to meet up somewhere else that's cool to.

Hey everyone!

Dang I need to visit on here more often... I wanna go to Vegas!!!

I am playing on my cell phone Internet waiting to get my windshield replaced in my car & just found this thread. I havent looked through all the pages yet but I will tonight! Have any plans been made? Fill me in on all the details!!!

Mkusmile78@aol.com is my email address, www.myspace.com/mkusmile78 is the link to my myspace page!

Had a blast! So busy for the weekend didn't even have time to do everything.

Learned something I never knew before:

Don't take the taxi. Used to be it was such n such from this hotel to that...but now they charge $2.50 for each red light they wait at...no kidding. Sitting at flamingo road going south....I saw 20 cents charged every few seconds.

It's a new fare, not only miles but time, too. So if you have a taxi that stays in the right hand lane, or stops at a yellow light when others go thru til it turns red...

yep, it costs!

Never again!

Tip: all hotels/casinos have FREE valet parking. Just pull right up, get your ticket, and have fun on the block. When you are ready to go, just present your ticket and go to the next block...FREE PARKING.

I wanted to pop in and wish all of you junies a HAPPY BANDVERSARY!!!!
