Viva VX Vegas...

VEGAS Get-together

February 25-26, 2005

Have you wanted to go to Vegas for a long time but needed an excuse? Would you like to meet VXer's from other parts of the country but cant go to Moab?

A VX owner meet in Vegas may be the answer! Whether you live close enough to drive or have to take a plane, it will be a great time to meet old friends and make new ones, all sharing a common thread - the VX.

We could try to find a hotel we can all stay at or you could stay wherever you wish. Perhaps the VX'ers living in Vegas may have some ideas on things to do & places to gather. We need ideas! (Anyone with connections to hotel deals out there?) ;Dr;

More details as we figure things out.

At the very least, we will spend some time hanging out, gambling, eating and laughing together while enjoying a great weekend vacation.


.... thank you very much. ;Dp; ;Dr;

Sweet! I need to start saving up that vacation time now. Man I love that place!

I am such a gambler, my buds and I have poker night here at least 2 times a week! Any locals in Vegas wanna see if there is any Hold'm tournament's going on around that time? I will be staying in a very cheap room somewhere, Motel 6? Last time I stayed at Terribles and well.... I don't wanna talk about it, I'm not going back.

Woot! We're there! Anita, you're the best! ;Dp;

[Randy]

I want to go!

[Tone]

Wow, Vegas is PAST (farther than) Moab and there is this interest? Wildness.

[Vasha13]

I'm in too - (barring unforeseen circumstances)! Don't know if I will drive or fly - leaning towards flying but not sure yet.

IF I win BIG in Vegas I will make it to MOAB.

[Anita]

Jennifer, it would be great to see you again.

It will be fun!

[Vasha13]

It will be good to see you too Anita! I have never been to Vegas before so I am definitely looking forward to it!

[Lisa K]

I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to this trip.

I have a suggestion for dinner, either night. It's a little pricey but very worth it....Del Frisco's steak house. It's a standalone restaurant - not in any casino...food and service are fabulous, beautiful atmosphere, it's got a cigar lounge AND...they have the coolest James Bond table that opens up kind of like a flower to expose a hand-painted bottle of wine for each James Bond movie.

Anyhoo, just a thought - I'm in for just about anything. Who's up for riding the coaster at NYNY?? ;Dp;

[AndyC]

Huumm I've been to Vegas several times and never rode the NYNY roller coaster. I'm game if I can sit next to you

When I was there in September I stayed at Sahara a couple nights- wasn't to impressed just OK. Then stayed at the Crown plaza Atrium. -- wow. It was excellent.

The steak place sounds great. I was amazed with the resturants that we found when we were there.. Great meals in all.

Well I guess I'll mark it down on the calender.
Count me as a fly in

Lisa,

The Dal Frisco has probably the best steaks anywhere. And yes, the place is really quite something to experience. I would vote for going there on one of the weekend evenings.

[AlaskaVX]

I am definately down with the roller coasters cause well, we don't have any here and last time I was in Vegas my freind told me he would puke on me if we went.

As for all these nice restaurants and whatnot, I will sit there and drink with everyone, but there is no way in hell you will see me eat a $50+ meal! I'm a cheap *** the whole way, I'm going to Vegas for the FREE DRINKS, gambling, oh and 1.99 buffets! Last time I think I stayed at a roullete table for 8 hours and finished off 24 redbull and vodka's. I have to make my money one way or another and if loosing $100 gets me 24 redbull and vodkas then I can consider myself up. I'm a good drunk though don't worry

[Anita]

No problem wit dat. There will be other outings planned. We will make sure you have all your money in hand to gamble it away !! ;Dr;

[Joe_Black]

Well we're all anxious to get our reservations and flight booked, so any ideas on a place to stay? A centralized room-hopping den of VX madness for the weekend or each denizen on their own? ;pg;

Hey, how about all who can't bring their VX with them bring instead a color 8X10 for a group shot!
