I know this is along time coming but let's go to Vegas!!!

I have given up on help from the Paris Sales department and have put the following plan together. I will have menu info from Jimmy's in a few days (they are going to get back to me if we can just order off menu or do a limited menu) and Nicole from the spa is emailing me a group brochure and I will pass that on to all of you. Anyway here goes: Schedule of events July 16 and 17 (Sun/Mon) Determined based on best hotel rates. Sun evening: Dinner at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, this is a really fun place and I'm not sure but based on their theme I think they won't mind public monkey sex. http://www.margaritavillelasvegas.com/index.htm 7:00 Please rsvp so that we can confirm reservation. More information to follow re: menu etc. Monday daytime: Free time/Spa time http://www.mandaraspa.com/Main/SpaView.aspx?SpaID=6 More info on packages and pricing to follow Monday evening: See a show Somebody (I think it was Andrea) said they had a contact that could get us a rate to see Blue Man group. Please let me know if this is still the case and we will need to rsvp so we have a count on that. I would be willing to handle the booking/payment on that just let me know. Hotel info: The Paris was very difficult to work with and thus we do not have a group blocking and will need to each do our own reservations. Currently rates for July 16/17 at the Paris is $120/night. Bally's is $110/night, Aladdin $110/night and Bellagio $200/night. All of these are very close to each other. Let me know if there is anything else we would like to plan. Besides playing poker (no not poke her...although that would be fun too) I would be interested in hitting Lake mead or some other things if anyone else is interested. Later

When do we have tattoos scheduled? Hmmmm? Kiddin! I've heard that Margaritaville is great fun! Good call! C

I'm thinking a tatoo with start weight and goal weight, so there is a constant reminder when looking in the mirror. and a monkey walking from one number to the next.

So the Divine Ms. C- You want to book us at the Paris? Or should I?

Ugg - I'll be arriving late, if at all. Since we've moved up a week or two weeks from the original dates - it is likely I won't be joining you . One week was okay. My sister is getting married on July 16th. Since it is a sister - I need to be there. Wedding is over at 5 p.m. Rush to airport, catch plane, show up would be late Sunday. So, I may not be there after all or will just be there for Monday. Sorry. -Pam

Sorry had to move it up 1 week. Hotel prices are about 40% cheaper that week and several people are on tight budgets. If you can would love to have you join us Sun night. I'm sure we will be up late

Hey Peter- Thanks so much for your work. Yes I have a connection to Blue Man- I don't know if we qualify for group tickets (depends on our final count)-- but I might be able to have her throw in a comp, that would defray our costs. Let's get a head count-- and go from there.

I'll be posting info for people to rsvp to me tonight so I will gather numbers and let you know. Based on previous info I'm guessing somewhere between 15-20.

Thats not the Paris Hilton is it? Thanks Peter. Just to make it perfectly clear to everybody, we arrive on the 16th, stay the nights of the 16th and 17th and check out in the morning on the 18th. Right? Be forewarned that I suck at gambling I'd love to see Lake Mead but I don't give a dam (pun intended) Tim

You are correct sir. Arrive Sun - stay 2 nights or more if you wish. I'm planning long driving trip this summer and may stay extra nights. Check out some of these Lake mead things to do let me know if any of them interest you. I'm up for several of them. Maybe fishing while the ladies are doing the spa thing. I also like the hummer/jet ski idea.
