    Las Vegas Gathering

    A casual conversation between a few VX members has become a plan to hook up and enjoy a Vegas weekend. Details will form slowly. Many of us will not be bringing our VX's as we don't envision it as a VX meet. More vacationing, hanging with friends, meals, cocktails, gambling, and be free to do-what-you-want time. Loose and fun.

    At this point, the following people have made their reservations/travel plans, with a few maybe's. So far, the yes's are staying at the Mirage where we got a decent rate.

    DATE: 1/14-1/16, 2011

    VXKAT
    VX Crazy
    Jay Dunford
    LDub (maybe)
    Scott and Laura (maybe)

    Care to join in the fun?

    Hotel rates in Vegas are as fluid as the cocktails we drink on friday nights. At one time the Mirage was $104 a night, but for the time being they have jumped to $144. Hotels.com show pretty good deals at other hotels on the strip.

    A few weeks ago I found Mirage's own website had the best price....$108 for "Deluxe room" (NOT premium strip view, that was $124).

    We're not driving the VX, more social event pretty much.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    Sorry gang, we're gonna have to miss this one...

    Only been working the new gig for about 90 days & they've expressed an interest in bumping me up the food chain soon after the first of the year.

    I made sure to negotiate time off for Moab in May, so I hope to see all Y'all then...

    Larry, Hope the upcoming promotion is a good one. Congrats.

    We will miss you, damn it, but we'll always have Paris (oops, I mean Moab).

    Thanks Anita, we were really looking forward to finally meeting the infamous "Red Diva"...

    HOWEVER...

    It sounds like we may be seeing you out Moab way in the next yr or two?

    That'd be SWEET!

    I had to wait to respond on this 'til I knew what the heck was going on. It was a maybe until:
    I received 2 subpoenas for January on a couple of the Homicides that I worked from the beginning of 2010.
    I used what extra time I had gathered to attend my grandmother's funeral in Phoenix so, if I use any more I'll be tapping into my Moab reserve.

    I wanna go so bad but, the "gods" are against me.. I better take the hint before something really bad happens.
    You all have fun and take lots of pictures and we'll gather again soon!

    Dave and I are planning a nice dinner at Bally's Steakhouse one of the eves. We don't really gamble so we drop our wad on a nice dinner. Been to this place twice before... steak, King crab legs...YUM!
    https://www.ballyslasvegas.com/casin...se-detail.html

    Anybody is welcome to join us. With people arriving Friday, we could do a later dinner, like 800pm. Or Sat eve any time.

    Anybody interested? Thoughts?


    Also, any of you in the "Maybe" category coming for sure?
    Gill, CeCe, RallyDude, Mark, Jo, JHarris, Knigh7s, circ?
