Junies in Vegas 2008

[faithmd 14]

If it's a weekend (Fri-Sun) I'll come alone as my DH works Tue-Sat. Whatever works for the most people. But weekends certainly are more expensive in Vegas.

I agree with beardpa about gambling being better on w/e's, but I am a penny or nickel or quarter slot kind of girl. I HAVE to stay away from the tables, I LOVE BlackJack...

as a professional travel agent for 18 yrs in the same office, I will advise you that February is a no no--to many holidays that are taken advantage of by teachers--presidents day/valentines day. oh and don't forget thanksgiving/xmas....and don't forget fall break and the Jewish holidays....you MUST book air at least 6-8monthes in advance and there are very few if any that give group rates--they don't need too!!!! I suggest everyone who wants to go gets their own airfare and stay in a hotel that is just off strip...they have good transportation and the price will be right!! Any more question?? Feel free to send me a pm...Pam

The Gold Coast is on the other side of the strip and is very reasonable in price. The rooms have recently been renovated and are very clean.The hotel has a bowling alley, bingo hall and they still have $5.00 tables. They also have a shuttle to the Flamingo, which is on the strip. I believe April is prime season in Vegas, so we are going to pay premium rates anywhere we stay.

Well, Captain Dan has brought up the issue about all of us meeting. I have looked up again and it much cheaper to go during the week instead of the weekend. I think if we are going to do this we all need to decided if we want to go and when and how many of us wants to share a room and who doesn't need too. Harrah's seemed to be the cheapest and is mid strip and is on the monorail. I think this is our best bet. It is still available too. Not many of them are. I think most flights for us would be cheaper during the week too.

Thank you for doing all that legwork, Rhonda! You are da bomb!!!!

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to go,:cry but I hope lots of you can, and you will all have cameras!!! I want to see this soiree for sure!:mad:

Hugs,

Toni

I'm still DEFINITLY going! I'd prefer to go as cheaply as possible... so during the week is perfect for me... but overall I will go with the majority here. I just need to know minimum of 45 days in advance to secure my days off from work.

As I said before I can also share a room with who ever else is going alone... haven't heard from BeckieT in a while, but we'd talked previously about sharing a room.

What month are we talking about going? Has it been decided?

i was looking at the first week of April. I figure it will start to get hot there but not unbearable.

[VegasGrace 1]

Count me in.

Hey...just thought of something... ya'll want to do a fundraiser? I do these all the time for schools and teams around here and have done a few in other states. I'll even match profits (luckily I own my own business) so this will be a non profit thing for me. I'll donate my time.

I am off work from march 12th till april 9th I really hope we could go during that time because work will be really hard to get any other time off till may.

[Suzzzie. 3]

Hey Dan, I'd be willing to go during that time frame. It would really be perfect for me!
