Viva VX Vegas...

[AndyC]

I 've been checking out these hotels and it's tough to cough up almost $500 for 2 nights. I've been to Vegas several times and found the hotel is a place to sleep for a few hours and shower, that's about it. Anyone want to share a room and split the cost on one of these higher end hotels. If not I'm just going to book a room at about half that for the 2 nights.
See ya in Vegas,
Andy

Well the more I look at the hotel rates I think I am going to have to stay off the strip and take the bus around. It looks like El Cortez (sp) is a very cheap place to stay and has descent review, just in a not so good part of town. Plane tickets are $360 and with hotel for 6 nights it will run me $640 total (includes airfare). That is definately in my budget. I think I am going from the 22nd-1st. Planning on spending a few days at the poker/Hold'm tables before everyone gets there.

Okay, I've heard from a number of you going and I want to make sure we can contact each other once we get into town. Email LisaK or I for our cell phone numbers and give us yours.

Got some nice goodies from Isuzu that I will bring along and pass out when we all meet.

[Anita]

Oh yes, just in case some didnt see the other Vegas thread, on Friday night we are planning to have dinner at a great restaurant off the strip.

Del Frisco

If you want want to join us please email me or Lisa K. We need to get a head count for the restaurant.

The Del is pricey but well worth it. More budget-minded restaurants will be planned for the remainder of the weekend.

Just wanted to let everyone know I will not be attending this event in hopes for attending Moab '06

[Nerfzooka]

I'll be there. I live there.

I know the times, locations and nausea factors of all the local roller coasters. There is a new one at the top of the Stratosphere tower that teeters you over the edge. Wanna try it?

Noon Saturday the light will be favorable for a group picture at the "Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Anyone with or without their vehicross interested?

[Anita]

Looks like we are going to have quite a group out for this. Dont know how many VX's will be in attendance but a pic with the sign sounds great. I sent ya an email with various questions.

I am hoping Lampster would be willing to take the VX's there for a little off road fun. More emails will go out to you all about details on whats up for us.

[Nerfzooka]

Get you and your VX in this picture! Lighting will be optimal at noon Saturday. Hey! a night picture would really glitzy, but I haven't got a flash big enough.

[Anita]

Sounds great! Why dont we meet there at 11:00. That will allow time for stragglers. For those who wont have VX's, take a 8x10 size pic of your VX along with you to Vegas. We will have a kind-of-a line up.

What is the address and directions to that sign?

[Nerfzooka]

The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is on the median of Las Vegas Boulevard (a. k.a.the Strip)south of the big Casinos (Tropicana Ave.), north of Sunset Ave, near the Mc Carren airport. Be prepared to jump the curb to get near it.

[Moncha]

Here's the Gallery for your pics..
Wished I was going.

[AndyC]

I just got thinking, I don't have a 8x10 of my VX They are all digitals in my computer and currently my color jets are messed up.
Well I'm heading out in the morning for Arizona so I'll see everyone Friday.

Andy

PS I'll look around for a bit but need to get some sleep since it's going to be an early morning trip to the airport.

[Anita]

Andy,

Be sure to email me or Lisa your cell# so we can hook up on Friday.

[SilverBullet75]

My Fiance and I want to join you all on Saturday morning/afternoon. Can't make it to dinner on Friday. Anita, I think you have my cell number. Something went wrong when I tried programming yours in my cell.. can you PM me w/your number? Is there a breakfast still planned for Sat. morn? Off-roading?

[Anita]

Jim,
I think that the VX's present will be the Vegas owners'. Lampster talked of knowing a few trails so I PM'd him about taking the off-roaders early morning on Saturday if he is able. Then we would meet for lunch and a photo op at the Vegas sign. I was happy to see weather forecasts for next weekend as dry... at least for now. I PM'd you my cell#.
