Las Vegas DO 4-6 Oct
 

Subject says it all....

Host hotel is Ballys

Looking for FTers to co-host... so far, talking about:

- Friday: Bravo! starring Charo at the Sahara. Tickets are $22 pp.

- Saturday charter a Twin Otter and go sky diving

- dinner at Mon Ami Gabi on Saturday 9:30PM

- Rita Rudner at NY NY on Saturday evening, 7 PM show.


Helicopter tours can be arranged via Heli-USA, which is owned by SkyWest Airlines (same UAX and DL con operator)... they have the best safety record. Grand Canyon tours and Hoover Dam tours can be done via Showtime or through Las Vegas Tour & Travel (702 739 8975).. you can't go "inside" Hoover Dam anymore..

(it's going to be too late to do a Grand Canyon white water trip... the BLM pulls most of the permits on the 15th of September)

Helpful links:
Ballys/Paris http://www.parkplace.com (link fixed, used to ppeXXX.com for their stuff!)
Funjet Vacations http://www.funjet.com (largest hotel block space on the strip and largest charter operator)
MLT Worry Free Vacations http://www.worryfreevacations.com charters from most of the midwest, dallas, detroit, etc.
Trip Reservations http://www.tripres.com GREAT hotel rates in Vegas (most of the time)

Rita Rudner tickets: http://www.newyorknewyorkcasino.com/...t_cabaret.asp#

Charo Bravo! tickets for Friday night: http://www.tripres.com


I have also taken into consideration a "party" from another board... and I tried to keep the dates as far apart as possible so that people could attend both.... only problem is the other weekends in Vegas are packed due to conventions and environmental issues...

oh, now you're tempting me. If you're going skydiving, I'm there. I should finish my class-A license (solo skydiving) this weekend and will try to work on getting some jumps over the next couple of months...

I'd be interested in a Las Vegas gathering. The Lake Mead cruise sounds fun, though I'd have to pass on the sky diving.

Nate,

I'll be glad to help. I'm not sure I'll still be living here in October, but if not I'll make it back.

As for jumping out of a plane...

Actually Las Vegas really appeals to me (attened UNLV at one time) and I'll try and block out. Not much of a gambler but all the things to do around there is great. Good idea and October starts to cool things down.

I would guess he was trying to link to Park Place properties http://www.parkplace.com/home2.html

They own Bally's, Paris, Flamingo, Caesars and Hilton in Vegas. You can get Hilton credits at any of them.

Apart from Caesars Palace.
