Vegas in January, Agenda, Next Steps

[TheGh0st 9]

I'm hoping to go but have just started working my husband over.

He's a bit sick of all things band related and a gathering of bandsters would not be his idea of a fun holiday. On the other hand he has been acting a bit jealous of my new body so my going alone might bother him even more.

I'll keep you posted.

Cool, we look forward to seeing you are both or you...

Hey all. I just found out my company will be attending a trade show in Vegas the following week. This might be an opportunity for me to convince work to let me go and then convince my husband to let me go early. But that aside. I think you all should be able to take advantage of the discounts available for people stating they are attending the Trade conference.

Check out worldofconcrete.com

I tried the link and it didn't ask for any proof that you were attending the show it just assumes if you can find the website you must be going. It also gives some instructions on how to get reduced airfare to Vegas.

One word of caution - these trade show hotel rates usually get booked FAST.

Not that I need a reason to go to Vegas

Me & DH normally go every beginning of February for our 'when we met'(which was in vegas) anniversary and my birthday. I might be able to convince him to go a little early next year..

That would be a lot of fun, and we've never stayed at TI.

That would be awesome!

I dont think I will be able to attend this, but for anyone that is interested I just got back from Vegas.

We stayed at TI and loved it. It was very clean the rooms were nice, especially compared to NY, NY where we stayed last time.

We also did the hoover dam/ethel m tour and found that to be really good as well.

Just make sure you all behave at the Ethel M factory. Thier chocolate is excellent.

Thanks for your response. I'm not a prude but I was actually just a little put off by TI's webpage skin pics they have plastered across the top of their site. It helps to hear your comments.

No insult to the powers that chose TI. Its just my own stupid body issues I'm still dealing with on this journey.

I know what you mean about body issues, etc. FYI about choosing TI, as a group we rated our top 6 picks and did a weighted measure with everyone's opinion. TI won.

So there wasn't ONE particular reason it got picked over any other, just overall it was preferred.

HTH. and hope to meet you in Jan.

Like I said = No complaining here. Just my own head issues. From being at Vegas Last Jan I remember thinking the front of TI looked great and was well located, combine that with Gaffer's comments as well as it being one of the more reasonably priced hotel's on the Trade Shows site I linked to before, it would have probably been my pick as well.

Though this is still all acedemic for me as husband is in NO current mood to consider this trip. Right now if I just look at him cross-eyed he threatens pulling the plug on my PS in 4 weeks. Still I'm hoping to turn him around before Christmas. I'll probably even go ahead and reserve a room online. After all, worst case, I can always cancel it later.

Hey Julie, Sandy and I are thinking about it, not sure if we will stay in hotel or pull our trailer and stay at an RV resort, we are only about 3 hrs from LV. Anyway I will let you know as soon as we can make up our minds.

[OH Juli 15]

Awesome! I hope to meet many banded folk there! Cool, cool, cool!

Believe me the whole Sirens of TI thing is a little overblown on the website, but really I thought the hotel was pretty classy

Sounds like you guys will have a great time.

Hi folks! Just wanted to report in that I just returned from Vegas and a stay at Treasure Island. This was my 7th trip to Vegas and have stayed at a different hotel each time...from the Luxor to the Bellagio. We loved Treasure Island! It's a wonderful moderate hotel with a fabulous location. The casino is a good size -- not too big, not too small with friendly dealers. You can easily catch the tram over to the Mirage (sister hotel) next door for the REALLY big casino experience. The Venetian is right across the street and the Fashion Show Mall is across the other street. I can't imagine a better location.

We went to see Rita Rudner at Harrah's one night and she was excellent. But the absolute must see show is the Cirque de Soleil show "LOVE" based on the music of the Beatles. LOVE

Mystere, "O", or Love are all excellent 5-star-plus shows. LOVE was just soooo cool and very, very upbeat because everyone is singing along with the music and the theatre is very intimate. Just awesome!

[OH Juli 15]

I'm so excited!

One thing's for sure, Ghost, you can't go to Las Vegas without seeing a lot of skin everywhere!!! Even our room key had a naked lady on it (back view). There are vans that drive around town with ads to 'bring the ladies to you'...i think it's got a bedroom in the back! LOL Taxi's are carrying some ad that have 5 ladies bent over wearing thongs. Lovely. Nope...I don't recommend going to Vegas if you're easily offended.
