BOOK the Orleans!

Thought I would make that announcement a little "bolder" ha!
Mom/Marilyn and I will be there from the 7th to the 11th - come join in on the fun!

Tentative Schedule

Friday 7th November: Arrivals
Saturday 8th November:
Morning: Spa for those that would like to join
Evening: group dinner
TBD on location and head count of who would like to join in.
This is typically the ONE meal we all get together
Sunday 9th November:
Morning: group breakfast for those that would like to join
Church: for those that are interested in attending church in Vegas, we'll have the breakfast early enough (or late enough) to accommodate.
Evening: departures for some, but I'm here for two more days!! Anyone else wanting to stay with me, I'll be there until the 11th with Mom. The more the merrier.

I have heard a lot of folks comment that they don't have a holiday on the 11th. It's typically a government holiday, so I understand quite a few won't be staying more than the weekend.

For those that are staying longer, comment away and we'll plan something fun to do on Monday!

Hotel news and schedule.

Ok, I have heard back from all places now - we're "on our own" because we're less than 10 rooms. So - book away! Majority would like to try the Orleans - so let's go for it! Book away!

Show Tickets

I just checked the Venetian website for Blue Man Group tickets and there are no shows scheduled for the month of November. According to the site, tickets are available 120 days out so I don't know if they are just not scheduled yet or no show period. Bummer, I was looking forward to it. The tickets run $91 - 132 so I will have to pick between the spa and a show. Are we still considering a spa day?

Any other shows people may be interested in?

I did it! I did it!

I booked our flights for the trip to Vegas!

I guess the decision is made on the Scrapping as well since I won’t get in early enough to do the scrapping in St. George.  So – next up, I have to book the flights to SLC for the one in September!

 

I’m getting excited!

Now – to finalize the hotel… that will be the kicker!

 

Shows

Who's up for a show this year?
Any suggestions on what show you would like to see?
I would like to see Blue Man Group maybe this year.

Room Reservations

Well, I have called a few places.

I have left messages at the New Orleans about group sales, no response - AT ALL.

Frustration.

So - I'm still working on the place.

We all know the time:
The weekend of November 7th (Friday) - 11th (Tuesday - Veterans Day weekend) or some time frame there - in.

Gail, Janet and I have been talking about doing the Scrapbook Expo in St. George that weekend as well. I go out there in September for a long weekend and scrap and visit... but with flights and gas prices climbing so high, this may be a stretch for me this year. We're still hashing out the details on that one. We have also talked about moving the location to Mesquite Nevada for lower prices, but not sure that the everyone would want to travel the extra 80 miles - for those of us flying into Vegas as well as those driving up from California. I am going to see what they would do for a few suites in Mesquite compared to Vegas... although Vegas is hurting right now for tourism too - so you never know - this is the week for me to start making calls again. I was too early for them to even talk to me about reservations at a few placed. ;o)

I'm sure I'm still aiming for Vegas, but if these hotels don't start to cooperate, I may have to pull a few more hairs out. I could very well be bald by the end of the week from work alone :op Hum... more options for wigs and new "do's"... there's a thought!
