777 Vegas Do baby! July 7 in Las Vegas
Per the thread in the Las Vegas forum, which will eventually be linked into this one, It's the once-in-a-century Lucky 7's Vegas Do on 7/7/(0)7! This idea was originally started by Mrp ALERT but I'm going to help him out a bit with it.
Thoughts for the Do:
Saturday morning: Recover from heavy drinking the night before.
11:30 am: Brunch at Green Valley Ranch for those who can make it out of bed. (Update 7/2: Change in plans from Wynn to GVR due to inability to get reservations at the Wynn. Please see posts #36, 62.).
Afternoon: Win big bucks gambling. Or roast at the pool. Or shop away at the overpriced stores along the strip. Hey, we're flexible. For those who want to see Red Rock, we're happy to take a few of you out there.
9:00 pm: Gambler's special at the Hard Rock! Mr. Lucky's has a sirloin and shrimp special for $7.77. No idea what the lines look like, but it's a scene.
All night: Gamble. Or do something else. But remember, what happens in Vegas will likely appear in Flyertalk somewhere.
No event is final yet, so please feel free to put suggestions in along the way.
We're gonna make this the master thread, so hopefully a moderator can lock (but keep available for show) the thread on the Vegas forum once I put the link in. I'll try to update this as often as possible, but please list when you will be there and what activities you would like to attend. For those who will be around the whole weekend or are coming in earlier/later, we'll work something out.

I am flying nk777 back to LAS this coming monday. I am really looking forward to this DO - it should be loads of fun. We should all hit up a night club friday night. I can take care of vip entry into light or studio 54 very easily. Come one, come all.

For anyone considering 3-nights (Thurs-Sun or Fri-Mon), you can snag the Marriott Suites LV for ~$95/night using a Buy 2, Get 1 free promo from Hertz. Use the code "HPR" and search for a 3-night stay (incl. a Sat night) and you'll come up with it. It includes the third night on the costs, but they say the third night will be deducted from the bill at check-out (probably so people don't stay 1 or 2 nights at the discounted price and bolt).
The Marriott Suites is located over by the convention center and a little south of the LV Hilton. Right by a monorail stop and only a few blocks walk from the strip. Haven't stayed there myself, but having stayed west of the strip my last time there, it's probably considerably better, especially since the "real" strip hotels I'd like to stay at are well into the $200s per night.
I'm throwing that into my big cauldron of things to consider. I'll be trying to come out Fri afternoon/eve if there are empty seats...which there should be. I hope.
