The FT Las Vegas Mini-Do 2016 - July 2016 (or even June!)

A little interest has been shown for a Mini-DO in Las Vegas. At present a small number of FTers are going to be in the Vegas catchment area during the first week or so of July, so that's an ideal starting point.

The Lady Tobias and I are more than happy to host/organise a gathering either somewhere in Las Vegas or at the Tobias Mansions.

The dates being considered are between 1st and 9th of July. Even if it transpires we cannot agree a date that all can make, SWMBO and I will be delighted to meet up with anyone who is in town - indeed we will be in Vegas throughout the whole of June (bar a few short trips I need to make).

Ideally it would be great to get a few FTers together, failing that we are more than happy to meet up individually as and when people come to town ^

All interested parties are warmly invited to post their available date ranges and we can see what emerges.

Viva Las Vegas ...

Update
Looking at the responses so far, it looks like the two dates most can make are Thursday 7th and Friday 8th of July. So let's concentrate on those two dates and see if we can get a consensus for which day fits best.

To help those who hope to attend and will need to book flights let's say the Mini-DO will be on one of those two dates.

Perhaps those who intend to attend would be kind enough to post if either of those dates are inconvenient.

Those who are in Vegas during June, keep posting and we'll see if we can organise another meetup ^

I am in the US the first week of July, would gladly fly to LAS for the weekend of the 8th if someone can help me find a nice TP run from JFK ^

It may even be a reason to do a TP run. I have this strange hate/love relationship with LV... I'll keep an eye out. ^

Ditto! I was looking at a mini-trip to LAS so this may well be the nudge needed. Though not so sure how busy flights/accomm get around 4th July these days.
Whatever, thanks to Tobias-UK for this new menu item .

Probably a 10% chance of me being a runner. Will keep my eyes on this and subtly blank a few July days in my diary.

As it would just a short hop from the SF Bay Area, sure I will come.

Ah, bummer... I was there last July exactly for the 4th July weekend. This year I'm half world away.

Last year didn't look overcrowded or overpriced to me. Surely HOT, however... (27C at 6am)
