Hi All, Count me in as a fly in. I will come in Friday morning (9 am) and leave Sunday afternoon (3pm). Where are we going to stay?

I didnt think that all who are coming may have the same budget when it comes to hotel cost. Depending on where you stay costs can be dramatically different.

Lisa and I will be at the MGM Grand. Lisa found a decent rate going through Expedia.com. Nothing on the strip is going to be cheap. FOr those who just need a place to drop off their suitcase there is always Terribles.. which by the way has the $4.99 prime rib with everything. $1.99 will buy you are great meal there anytime.

More to come. Vegas baby

It will be great to see you again Larry! Jennifer and Lisa B you better come too. We must have a strong showing of the lady VX owners!!

OK so who's staying where while in Vegas?

I see Anita and Lisa are at the MGM, anyone else going to stay there?
When I was out there in September we all stayed at different hotels, but it would be cool if a bunch of us were at one.
I'm game for any place where there is a group of VX'er

I was checking Expedia.com out and they're pretty good to deal with.(done it several times before with no problems)

Hello All,

I've never been to a VX meet and greet before, but it souns fun. Ever since Anita mentioned it, I've been thinking of some good places to meet. As others have mentioned, not everyone will be staying at the same hotels, and even if they were, the parking garage doesn't make for a cool backdrop for photos. I have three basic suggestions. 1). Red Rock Canyon. It is a State Park located 30 minutes straight west of the strip that offers gorgeous views of the city. Because it is a state park, there is no off-roading, but there is a 13 mile scenic loop with many areas to pull off and park for a group photo. 2). Mt Charleston. Mt. Charleston is about a 45 minute drive and it makes you forget that you just came in from the desert. Off-roading is limited there as well but they have lots of snow and pine trees and the world's best hot chocolate up at the lodge. Elevation is 9,000 feet, and if you have never been, then its worth the trip. 3). My final humble suggestion are dry lake beds. We are surrounded by them. Many have trails, and flat smooth areas as well, and there is all the room in the world to do pretty much whatever we want. I taught my mother how to drive on one of those lake beds and was greatful that there was nothing around . I'll be happy to answer any questions if I can. I look forward to attending.

Lampster,

Thank you for the great ideas for some off-road fun. I think that we will have a mix of owners with and without their rides. So perhaps for those who come with their Vx's, a trip out can be planned for Saturday morning. As far as a photo shoot of all of us, I think it would be a good idea to find a place to meet in town, line up what VX's are there, take pictures and then let the VX's go on their run. THe VX-less of us can turn to more mundane things to do like gamble, check out the car museum, or liberace's house..

Oh, and some great news. I contacted Isuzu America and they are going to be giving us some great VX goodies. Next week I am going to pick the stuff up, so I will have a better idea of what we got. Sounds like there might be enough to pass on to other meets. We shall see.

Keep tuned in...

Put me down as a 'maybe'

But, I hope so!

just waiting to see where everyone is going to wind up. Since I will be by myself, I kind of want to be in a hotel where there are other VX owners. What time are people getting in Friday night?
