I'm not sure if my family and I can make it yet, but add myself, blondie_36, and fparker1 to the maybe list, except for the skydiving. I've got issues with jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.

Pony Girl! (formerly known as Hands Off) Welcome to your first posting on Flyertalk. Tell your mom and dad Hi, and I hope you can all come--it would be great to see you guys again.

Change me from a maybe to a confirmed! I managed to get a UA seat sale YVR-LAS, but I fly out on the 3rd, so will be ther a day early.

If anyone else is early too, lets meet up for a bite or somthing on Thursday too!

(I still haven't reserved a room. Does anyone wanna split room/costs?)

I'd love to come, but unfortunately i just don't have time to fit it into my schedule. Will be in SFO from the 1st-5th Oct, then in YYC/YEG from the 5th-8th Oct.

Hope everyone has a great time.

Count me in for the Saturday night dinner... not sure about anything else due to budget constraints. But since I'll be living in LAS as of the end of this month, I probably should show my face at a LAS do...

Please change me from a maybe to a No. I unfortunately will not be able to attend.
Maybe next time!

OK, I got some rooms (1 night here, 2 over there, 1 back here again). But still like to hook up with the crew as ppl arive.

I'm in for dinner on Sat, and I guess I'll look at show tickets for the 2 nights.... but still no sky-diving for this cowboy. LOL

Can't wait..... see you all there!

Sadly, almost definitely will NOT be able to make it out to this one. It's that whole military-exercise-preparing-for-war thing.

Have fun, and blue skies for those jumping out of perfectly good airplanes!!!

I just ticketed myself - earning more miles - and looking forward to seeing those who are attending this. I'll bring along the goodie bag.....

No word from anyone wanting to jump from the planes yet

It would probably be nice if the FlyerTalk group can pay for the dinners for the United and Lufthansa Sales reps.. they are spending personal time on their weekends to come and visit with us and talk about the company and clarify policies/issues going on.... I'm wondering if it will be bad to ask for $2 to $4 per attendee to cover their meals/drinks?

So far:

Friday Night/Saturday AM-

Welcome drinks at 1230AM (i know, late, but this place NEVER sleeps!) at Fontana Lounge at the Bellagio. This is the lounge that faces the fountains. I'm not sure who is hosting this, so just look for myself and SFO1K... I'll be the 23 y/o fat blonde kid who looks exhausted...

Saturday Afternoon
Early afternoon Lunch buffet (1:30PM)
MY personal choices being an ex-local are the Mirage Buffet ($15) and The Palms... but being the latter is out of the way, what would you all like to do for lunch?

Saturday 7PM Rita Rudner @ NY NY
We will get together Friday PM or SAT AM and make a list of who is going and collect $$ for the tickets. People that want to pay w/ credit card should probably go with me to get the tickets. I'll then drop the tickets off in an envelop to your rooms @ ballys/Paris or wherever you are staying.

Saturday Night/Sunday Morning

Not sure if we could hit a bar or even meet at a Club (C2K @ Ventian comes to mind (except their $10-$20 cover), there is the GhostBar at The Palms or even Rain)... I'm personally not into the Vegas clubs, but I'd go if we had a group of people !

Patron will be in Vegas until 3PM on Saturday, so hopefully we can do a get together for the lunch buffet and meet up with him!

Imagine that

I am very excited about this - can't wait! Please confirm me for the Sat nite dinner and let us know if we need to pre-pay or anything?

Thanks Nate for planning all this!

Unfortunately will be at PDX Expo center Oct 3 - 6th :-(

...again, I wait until the last minute for these things. Made the reservation and will know tomorrow for sure. Please put me as very possible yes. (dinner Sat. night) Scheduled to fly in Saturday morning and red-eye back to dallas Sunday morning for the Cowboys Game.

My girlfiend and I will try to be at the dinner at the paris

Let's see as i pack my bags for this Las Vegas FT Board Meeting: a couple dozen FT luggage tags to give away (check), a couple dozen FT pins to give away (check), a dozen or so FT t-shirts to give away (check), 10-20,000 AAdvantage miles to give away in increments of 500 (check), an exclusive 'House of Miles' denim shirt with the official logo (check), low balance on my double mile earning United Mileage Plus Visa to pick up bar tabs and other treats for FlyerTalkers (check), one or two of the infamous MCI black bags last seen at the PIP (Party in Paradise) for possible giveaway or raffle (check), ummmm, let's see, what else am i missing?

See you all there and this should be fun. As a side note: the infamous mileage man, Randy Petersen was at one time a member of the varsity football team at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and actually played as a freshman before transferring the next year (just never fully appreciated the .99 buffets....). His claim to fame - one of the (if not the....) fastest guys on the team.
