Sorry, but I will be unable to attend. I will be in SYD & LAX until late on the 5th.

Here I come! In town July 2-5. It's always cool at the Wynn poker room, you know. :D :D :D

Wynn could be arranged. Good coffee shop there, Terrace Pointe Cafe.

Mike

I'm there 30 Jun - 5 Jul; posted in the "When are you coming to LAS?" thread.

My wife and I are in July 3-6 for the Buble concert.

We'll be there but why the Wynn? Is there really going to be a big enough game for flyertalkers? :cool: We'll be at Bellagio. 30/60 LHE. Unless the list is too ridiculous. Kind of gave up on finding any action at Wynn but maybe there will be something going to change my mind, so tell me about it...not going to sit in a coffee shop on a big poker weekend, I know, I'm a terrible excuse for a human being.

I'll be in town for the 4th weekend - not sure what my plans will be as I'll have an out of town friend with me. But I'll keep an eye on this thread & try to meet up as I can. May want to post in the CommunityBuzz as well?

Im gonna be there from the 3rd-6th @mandalay bay... Always playing craps and a little blackjack... Im 27 years old so when i get to vegas it gives me a chance to be young again haha, anyways should be a good weekend...

Yeah, I was going to PM you, but then I read this post (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/10758931-post10.html) and got a little nervous. :D

Hope to see you there!

Ask him to do Buble in a bubble. Hope to see you there!

Always a problem, aren't you? ;) I'm open to suggestions, but these Las Vegas Dos always get ugly if we don't assign a restaurant, so I picked one at Wynn, since Brian was the only one who had posted. Hope you can be there (or wherever we end up?)!

Ooh, a TB member, score! It has been cross-posted.

Young again? I'm 36, what does that make me? But we'll have you anyway.

Mike

Current suggestion is Terrace Pointe Cafe at Wynn, which is a nice coffee shop. For those who aren't Vegas regulars, coffee shops are like Starbucks; they're generally nice restaurants. This one is no exception and is definitely open on the 4th.

I'm suggesting we meet at 10:45 for brunch, since typical FT timing is A15, meaning that we won't all be there until 11, anyway. I'm open for suggestions, but the 4th is approaching quickly, so please get them in, I'll monitor this thread and we'll go with consensus.

In terms of attendance, if you are on this thread and didn't indicate a "maybe," I'm taking that as an indication that we will likely see you there. Looking forward to a great group!

Mike

Yeah, I'm always the problem child. Which is sad considering most of the people who see me in Vegas have graduated from asking me where I'm staying to asking me where I live or worse, if I want to buy their condo. But it isn't practical to plan an event around me. The chances of me being awake at 10:45 AM (eek!) are pretty remote, sad to say. Someone has to be the bad example...I'll keep an eye on the thread and if I show up I show up. I think the chances are huge that every waking hour I'll be at the tables and brunch will be bad cappachino and some trail mix.

Fair enough. But I did enjoy your blog.

Time and location are adjustable. At this point, I'm just trying to establish a roll call.

Mike

That early on the 4th may be difficult for me. I have a buddy flying in on the 3rd late night & we'll be going out. That said, even though I'm a local now, I'll be staying at NYNY (I'm not high class enough to get Bellagio or Wynn comps) for free July 4-6 (hangover on the 5th will be spent at the pool with dark sunglasses on checking out the other guests). I'll check with my buddy to see if he's down - if not, I may roll solo.

ps, Mike - bringing a TB member doesn't make it a high class event when it's this TB member! ;)

I thought it was your 'magic @ the dice table' that made you a legend, bhatnasx. :D:D

Would people rather do something in the afternoon, such as a late lunch? We're flexible, although we should probably get something nailed down soon (Yes, I'm anal.).

Mike

For those interested, the rental car rates for that weekend just plummeted.

I'm not kidding - the car rental rates I could found went down more than 50% today, and I was able to switch to the Avis promotion with 5,000 bonus miles. ^

For what Avis location and for when I have not found any change myself

Thats all i will be playing as well... cant wait to get down there

We're paying $152, all-in, for 7/2-7/7 with Dollar.

BTW, please check the list at the top of the page. 11ish at Terrace Pointe Cafe for brunch is the current plan.

Mike

May I recommend a concert at MGM Grand?


Or next Saturday, July 4th, when hip hop pioneers MC HAMMER and VANILLA ICE will each perform live at Wet Republic. That’s right, you read that correctly: Hammer & Ice. Performing Live. 4th of July. Dust off those old parachute pants, get down to Wet Republic and let’s party like it’s 1992!!!


:D

OK, my arm has been twisted, I'm in!

Great, see you there!

I don't think I can make it, as the Bellagio has been opening a new 30/60 limit hold em game in the morning around 11 to 11-30 AM and by showing up there at that time, I save a lot of waiting. None of you guys want to play 30/60? Easy game... :cool:

(And no, you wouldn't catch me anywhere but the baby pool tables. :D :D :D )

Not to my knowledge, there isn't, sorry.

I'm not there because my friend generated a situation - I'm back at the hotel I checked out of yesterday ...

Totally spaced it! My apologies!

Just got back from SYD - hanging at the reLAX lounge in LA. How was the DO?

The DO was fun and intimate - five of us. We successfully forced the Terrace Point Cafe to serve breakfast after breakfast hours, although I was ready to channel Michael Douglas in Falling Down if necessary. :D :D :D

Those of you who missed have had the absence noted in your permanent record.

That waitress was definitely old school!

Remember Sunny, if you're not at lunch, you are lunch.

I would have much preferred to be at lunch, rather than needing to go to MGM to remedy a problem (then the ATM to effect the remedy to the problem ...)

There's no problem so big, that a natural nine can't solve. :D
