Just stay away from May long weekend (the Canadian one, May 20th being the holiday) and I'm good. Although it's getting pretty warm in LAS in May, isn't it?

So this would seem to leave May 11/12 as the most likely weekend, am I right?
For those of us who are interested in attending this ... can we nail down a date?
It would be cool if we could also pick a common hotel for the out-of-towners.
