I'm lonely, and I need new clothes, plus it's never too early to start planning this summer's Vegas Bash/Clothing Exchange. We should do it earlier this time when the pool Water is still warm. Lots of pool fun this time!

I would suggest Labor Day weekend, but I think hotel rates go up for holidays. FEEDBACK, PLEASE.

Same as last year. We'll all meet for dinner at Buca di Bepo Friday night, then party at my house on Saturday. This year's theme is salad Bar Buffet, potluck poo-poo platters, and appetizers. And Carol's famous margueritas will be our yearly tradition (I hope she can come!)

Sorry,

But I have to withdraw from either weekend

I won't be able to go ... just not going to be able to financially swing two vacation trips that close together.

I would love to come & meet everyone. I hope I can scap enough together by then. Just think Trish if my insurance hurries up - you & I both could be through our mushies by than. Thank God for the margaritas. Anyone a big Texas Holdem player? or Craps- I love them both. Would also love to get a little sunshine on my face.

Hey....I've never been to Vegas!! PLEASE let me know when you confirm a date!!! I would love to go!!! Will start saving my money from all the money I save on less food lately!!! YAY!!!

Does everyone agree that we still have time before setting the date in stone? I look forward to seeing every one of you! Francesca, bring your darling sister!

I'll most definitely be there again. We loved Vegas!!! Next time can KC and I just stay with you though Lisa?

OK either date is good for me. I will most likely drive in but not sure just yet. John might be on the road then but can't say for sure. I will be in VEGAS baby. Can't wait to see you all again. This time we need a HUGE GROUP PIC. Meant to do that last time. SHESH!! Too much margaritaness. YUM YUM

I'm going to put it on my calendar but can't commit until later. I want to make sure I've got the ging before I say for sure.

I had such a blast last time...but this time I'll leave the party pooper sister and friend at home...that is if some of you will go out on the town with me one of the nights!!!!

Penni- I think you and I could get into a LOT of trouble. Who else is up for a night out?

Last time my sister, friend and I went to the 9 Fine Irishmen Pub in the New York New York Hotel and I have seriously never had more fun. I think I got three guys phone numbers in one night. I think that's more than I've gotten in like ten years total.

And then I made out with one of the guys on the nickel slots but who hasn't made out with a stranger there?

I guess I stay true to the whole "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Ahh...sweet memories...

As a travel agent.... would you all mind if I popped in and gave some different quotes on rooms???? Actually, the Stratosphere is going to be cheaper than Excalibur. Excalibur was cheapest 4-5 years ago but now they aren't "new drumming up business". Harrah's is also known to have great rates. If I can have your permission, I would like to do some searching of my own and give you guys some good prices????

Let me know.

Okay, with or without permission... I had to do a quick search.... and the Riviera (which is middle of the strip and a GREAT location for walking either up or down the strip) is only $92.04 a night (standard, double occupancy). And I bet I can even do better than that in a group rating. As some of you know through chatting with me, I am a police officer but I am also a travel agent part time and have been in the travel business for about 8 years now. So let me know if you need my help.

I have surprised myself at how much I am looking forward to this weekend in Vegas. I've long had a fear of crowds and a walking into a room where I don't know anybody is welll... not something I generally want to contemplate on a social setting. But I feel like I've gotten to know so many of you, I don't think I'll freak out too badly...
