I live in Vegas. Your best bet would be to get a hotel a little off the strip. The local hotels are always cheaper, but just as nice.

If you can, check out the Santa Fe, the Texas, the Fiesta, Arizona Charlies, and the Suncoast. (These being some of the more popular ones.)

Let me know if I can do anything.

Donkeypuncher · 07-22-2003, 10:56 AM

I'm running a marathon at the Grand Canyon the weekend before, so the timing isn't ideal - I'll stay on the fence for now but for the record, I'll always lean towards 'yes' when Las Vegas is involved. Too bad we sold the house in Henderson. (sigh)

Gotta stay on the Strip. Just gotta. And if we're meeting at Rio, Voodoo Lounge is the shiznit. The Pink Taco in the back of Hard Rock is a cool hang, too. For that matter, let's all just stay at the Hard Rock and meet out at the pool. That place definitely has a TFP vibe going for it... hahaha.

I know a shooting range not far off the Strip that has automatic weapons. All kinds of fun for those so inclined.

Don't miss "death by meat" at Yolie's at least one night.

Find the secluded bar at the top of the Venetian and win a prize... every friggin' time.

Don't forget to take home a skull mug from the 'Island... yarrr!

This is an awesome idea. I'm going to try and make it happen around my work schedule!

Ganguro · 07-23-2003, 03:49 PM

there another local for the "off stip" idea..

ZërØ¢ØØ£ · 07-23-2003, 09:34 PM

Ganguro, your from Vegas?

uber · 07-23-2003, 11:15 PM

Actually, the Suncoast is pretty new, and is only a 10 minute drive from the beginning of the newer strip. Another couple city blocks and you're in the heart of Vegas. Plus, being as the Suncoast is fairly new and out of the way, there isn't much traffic between it and the strip, so it's relatively painless getting there.

Just a thought.

yippiekiyeh · 07-24-2003, 11:44 PM

Vegas is always fun, I'd definitely like to find a few friends for gambling and night life!

furious · 07-25-2003, 03:33 PM

I condemn you all for living in the United States.

In fact i command you rollback all previous plans and budgets and use the national funds to move Vegas closer to me.

Keep me informed of progress.

Thraeryn · 07-26-2003, 09:48 AM

OK. Jin says the drive is easily doable from Houston, and it's on a weekend, so we're gonna throw our hats in the ring for a "maybe, we'll see if we're not flat f*cking broke at the time".

(I say that she says the drive is doable, and she points out that she drove from Pittsburg, KS to Winnipeg in a day. I point out that I went from Atlanta to Pittsburg, KS in a day. . . . Between the two of us, we could probably drive to Cuba.)

Halx · 07-27-2003, 08:40 PM

Excellent, more people!

wflol · 07-28-2003, 01:24 AM

no can do, busy with work

Minx · 07-31-2003, 02:16 PM

Looks like we are perhaps building up a bit of speed!
Thraeryn...we'll look forward to seeing you & your sweetie there!

KeyserSoze · 07-31-2003, 10:30 PM

Do any of oyu know how many are going to be there?? I may have a connection in the MGM.

Halx or whomever get me the info on a head count and I will make a call and see what I can do for you all.

HiThereDear · 08-04-2003, 11:54 AM

Anyone driving down from SF? Does anyone want to? Or I could drive. Either way, any SF people up for a road trip to Vegas?

Halx · 08-05-2003, 04:41 PM

Ok.. we got 2.5 months ... still nothing solid except the dates

ZërØ¢ØØ£ · 08-05-2003, 06:50 PM

heres a few suggestions

BBQ & baseball, shows, golfing

Ganguro · 08-07-2003, 05:45 PM

i second bbq.. baseball..eh.. i dunno..
shows, strip clubs, shopping!

Halx · 08-07-2003, 09:46 PM

umm where can you bbq? And is that advisable in late october?

ZërØ¢ØØ£ · 08-09-2003, 12:50 AM

there are several parks that we can goto that have grills and shit, and it will be a bit cooler in october

Diablo · 08-09-2003, 05:28 AM

I wish I could join in, but I can't. I'll be busy with school and stuff.

cheerios · 08-12-2003, 03:41 PM

fall bbq's are fun, hal.

just brign sweatshirts. dunno about baseball, but shows sounds cool, i think. i"m honestly not sure what there is to do/see, but i've never been htere, so y'all had better show us a good/cheap time

Ganguro · 08-13-2003, 08:24 PM

i'll show you guys a good and cheap time.. cant get any cheaper than hanging out with Peutetre and I, but we'll try to show you some stuff you'd guys like..

cheerios · 08-14-2003, 04:14 AM

LOL

lookin' forward to it.

...told a co-worker "goin' to vegas!" and she's like "ooh, you're getting married!!" I'm like... umm... no? not that I knew of, anyway! :P

Ganguro · 08-14-2003, 01:01 PM

got the same reaction from my mum
me: "we're moving to vegas in june ma"
her " oh im finally going to have grandchildren!!"

ewww...

Allright so let's take a head count.. Who is definately going?
(no disrespect to you fence riders.. but i'd like to see offically who is going, and how many to expect)

Halx · 08-14-2003, 01:10 PM

i think we've done this a couple times.. 11 people are definately going... i've talked to a few people down here who really wanna go as well.

rogue49 · 08-14-2003, 01:50 PM

As things get closer to the time...people schedules will change,
shit will happen...so some more should be able to come,
others will have to bow out.

A good measure will be this weekend's get-together
The D.C. one ended up with about 10 or so.
The impromptu NYC one had 5
So with the Chicago one you might start seeing a pattern.

At the most, I'd say you'll end up with 20 or so.

Thraeryn · 08-15-2003, 06:45 AM

Okay, here's a thought that I can't believe no one has brought up:

October 24-26 is pretty darn close to Halloween. Acceptibly so, I believe, to have (as one of the "events"?) a costume party. Seeing as there are only so many people definitely showing up right now, I imagine it'd be small enough for someone in the area to actually host. I should have made some Sculpey devil horns for Jinya and I by then, so we'll be ready.

Actually, this suggestion doesn't just apply to Vegas. Anywhere there are concentrations of TFPers, it'd be cool to have a sort of concerted party night. Let's hear what you think!

floonine · 08-18-2003, 02:22 PM

howdy do, I would like to go to vegas too. no preference on nothin.

hehe, i didnt even see this reply earlier, anyways, vegas is my hometown

what kinda cd's you talking about?

btw i'm definatly going as long as i dont get duty that weekend(which i shouldnt)

~springrain · 08-19-2003, 07:53 AM

costume party? *grinning*... i love it!

do we have any idea where most of us will be staying? i've heard some votes for the Luxor... which is fine with us... just wondered if there were any others...

ZërØ¢ØØ£ · 08-19-2003, 01:52 PM

i'll be staying at my parents house

rogue49 · 08-20-2003, 06:16 PM

I'm planning on coming...I'm buying my tickets later next month.

Got to keep the tradition going, meet faces, greet hands.

Besides I need a good vacation in Vegas.

Maybe I can get my best friend to come see me there, she loves Vegas.
It fits her style.

Okay, the reality is that Jin and I might not make it. Plane tickets that work around her school schedule are expensive, and driving would take 24 hours there and 24 hours back.

Makes for a sucky trip.

I still think we should have a concerted TFP Costume Night on the 25th or so, though.
