i've never been to vegas and would love to go, and i'm big on hanging around with strangers from bulletin boards. i've done it a few times and i haven't been raped and murdered yet. well, only that once, but i refuse to dwell on the past.
need a little more lead time, though. if this BB is like most others you'll find people are from a wild range of different places -- i've hung out with bulletin board cats in new york city, london england and the east coast of canada. it's fun but you gotta plan it. and i might be wrong but big get togethers just dont happen -- i've seen it happen exactly once. and it happens because one person who lives in a tourist-friendly place offers their house and lets everybody sleep there. otherwise it's hard to get people to pay for a plane ticket AND lodging just to meet a bunch of people they've never set eyes on before.
then again i hear a lot of things are legal in vegas that aren't legal other places so...
