Vegas in October
 

a new mini-ft party is in the planning stages. it's looking like oct22-24 for las vegas. so far, it's just catman and myself flying in late on oct22, and staying in the downtown area (lady luck casino); but the more the merrier, so let us know if anyone else can make it.

p.s. this would be a perfect time to meet and discuss the FT Vegas Venture: http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/Foru...ML/000152.html

I am in Vegas (Mandalay Bay) October 1-3 for a friends bachelor party. The wedding is the weekend of the 22nd.

I love Vegas in October (and November, and December...). I was there, in fact, last October. Quite a time. I will try!

Please provide more details as they become clear.

auh2o, craig6z and I will be in LAS from 9/28-9/30. He leaves on the 30th, but my flight doesn't leave until 4:00pm on the 1st.

What time do you get in on the 1st? I'm staying at the Rio, will probably get a late check-out and have some time to kill. Any diversion other than the casino would be most welcome... http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Wish I could get back for the late Oct. 'do', but I'm leaving for PHL on the 23rd.

Hmmm, this Vegas thingy might just work for the wife and me. I've got free Southwest Coupons (Moooo!!)and some miles for Hotels, maybe my schedule will allow it. Keep the thread going or let me know in a month or so.

Cheers Scott

time out -- DYNAMIC RESCHEDULING IN PROGRESS --

it's looking like oct15-17 might be a better weekend for this trip for at least one of the proposers. which weekend works best for others who are interested?

Octobie 15-17 works better for me.

Looks like I will miss everyone. I will be in Vegas Oct 10 to Oct 13. Can not change it because I am attenting a wedding on Sat the 9th and coming home via Vegas.

I think that the 15 - 17 will work for me, subject to no last minute changes. Is everyone staying downtown or on the strip? Even my wife wants to go! Viva Lost Wages! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Cheers Scott

I will make it if it's that weekend.

Rats. I'm running the Marine Corps Marathon on October 24th. As much as I would love to be there, Chivas Regal, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, mimosas, and gin & tonics are definately NOT on my training diet. After the 24th... that's another story!!! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Shadow -

I have not purchased tickets yet (I don't what mid-western "paradise" I will be traveling from yet). I will let you know when I buy them. But it is a safe bet I will be in by noon.

I too can change to Oct 15th-17th!!!

Luckily I was in transit and had no time to buy the tickets. I came thisclose while being stuck in Denver but better judgement (and this cute woman I was talking to... OH! YOu don't want to hear about that story! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
convinced me otherwise.

And you get to see a master at blackjack in action! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Oh Catman, I hope you are home October 22. That is when I think I will come to NYC.

punki - looking at Catman's published schedules here on "our" board - he should be in NYC then - but I am afraid he may have no money/credit left ... (looking ath this LAX thread and on the trip report from his last visit - hut he is in good training for the PiP too - hicks/hicks/hicks ...)

ok, great. the next las vegas "board meeting" (as randy puts it) is set for the weekend of oct15-17.

so far, we have:

Bryan
Catman
MileCrazy
Scott + better half
PremEx

catman and myself are staying downtown at the lady luck, but stay wherever you get the most hotel/airline points, and we'll find a centralized party place.

looking forward to it.

http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif - I think that all FTers are avoiding me - I will be in Vegas for the first time ever from 10/11 - 10/13!!!!! No chance to stay over http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif( Much sadness.

For anyone looking there is a $74 bounceback/weekend rate at the Hilton which is just off the strip Sorry Govt ID req. I'm still looking for that great promo rate or maybe a comped room. http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Cheers Scott

Won't be able to make that one--my cert for 2 free weeknights at Sam's Town doesn't become valid until November.

let me know if having trouble getting a room that weekend is the only reason for someone to not make the trip. i may be able to get a couple more rooms comped downtown (lady luck, fitzgerald, or fremont). only problem --- no miles or points...

Booked at the Hilton, $99, bounceback rate as I need the stay toward my Gold status. I'm there!! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Cheers Scott

scott:

welcome aboard. if you & your wife arrive around 10pm on friday night, i have a stretched limo arranged to pick up catman and myself. we can drop you off at the hilton, and make plans for the weekend.

looking forward to meeting you.

Will halloween costumes be required attire?

Milecrazy and Catman and everyone else

My wife and I will be arriving Friday early afternoon sometime and we are going to the Seigfried and Roy show for dinner that night. That way Saturday night will be mine to Cat http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif around while my wife checks the gaming establishments. If there is something mutual that anyone wants to do Saturday during the day I have a comped full size car / maybe a van from National we can run around in. Let me know. http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Cheers Scott

Will be in Vegas Oct 11-14 for some continuing medical education. Maybe I can play a bit on the side.

scott:

re: comped car -- sounds great. we can drive to the canyon gate country club (8 miles west of the strip) for lunch on saturday, and perhaps knock a few balls into their water hazards.

we can make real plans when other participants tell us that they will actually be there that weekend (PremEx, Bryan, ?).

Vegas in October sounds wonderful. I have not been there in over three years (I used to go 2x a year to visit my money.) Don't know where I will be flying from, but I might be able to make it for the weekend.

Sound's good to me. My golf balls are able to find trees, sand and water, they are very talented. We'll wait and see how many people finally confirm before making too many plans. I'll check on getting the largest van possible for us.

Cheers Scott

comicwoman:

please do plan on joining us that weekend. the more, the merrier.

Best I can say right now is about a 50/50 chance of making it. Probably won't know for sure until late September. Sorry.

I don't know if I will be in Chicago or Kansas, so I can't get my tickets. If I am in Kansas, the trip will be free, as it would be my trip home. I will have to "pay" when I get home...two weeks away might not go over too well on the home front.

Looks like I'll be in Vegas around the end of October... Nothing definite yet, stay tuned!

Causa latet vis est notissima - the cause is hidden, the results are well-known.

I may be in Las Vegas during same "Board" Meeting, October 15 -17. I will know positively within the next week.
If I will be there during that timeframe I will let you know.

Bad news, the car voucher will only allow me a free full size car. I'm working on National to allow me to upgrade using a coupon to get the van instead so I'll keep everyone informed.

Cheers Scott

Well, it's a done deal!!! I'm coming back to Vegas! Got the ticket and just waiting for October:

15 OCT UA 907 EWR-DEN 15:00-16:57
UA 2721 DEN-LAS 18:45-19:32

Two nights at the fine Lady Luck (who I hope is lucky for me again! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

17 OCT UA 2714 LAS-DEN 14:50-17:37
UA 330 DEN-EWR 18:45-00:17 (10/18)

HEY! Any of the Denver contingent in the area is welcome to join me at the Red Carpet Lounge since I have some down time. Let me know.

Is it October yet???

OMNI: I have a confession and I hate to admit this... I have NEVER played REAL GOLF> As you know, I have played the smaller version (of which my accountant Frank still has the bump on his head) so I would like to learn.

Yes, I can go to Chelsea Piers and practice or hire some cutie golf pro to show me, but if anyone is willing to show me a few tricks I will be grateful (I.E: Steak, cigars, wine, etc.)

If you all are golfers then I need to get in the game too. It could be fine. I could give that Tiger person a run for his money! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

man I'm really getting jealous now. I've got to be in Houston that weekend, but I want to be in LAS with all of you playing golf!!! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Milecrazy

Maybe we can see about getting a golf game going on Saturday so we can watch Catman tee it up. Helmets are optional. I wonder if there are any comped rounds available. I'll check on my end but if not we can always pay to play.

Cheers Scott

Pay to play? Isn't that illegal in 49 states? Good thing you are going to be in NV. (Sorry Commander Catcop, I couldn't resist http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif)
