Just wondering if anyone is planning on being in Vegas sept 21 to 29?
I'm looking at those dates for a future trip.

My only problem is, tonight I found out Sharon has been holding out on me. It seems she has been getting offers from Harrahs that she's been keeping from me. They have been sending her invites for Tunica & New Orleans. Both offers include airfare and hotel. These remind me of the old junkets that Las vegas used to have.
So now the thing is, do I spend vacation days in Vegas or do these two short trips? Hmmmm

Lee,

I will be out there from the 22nd to the 25th. My wife will not be there as tis guys weekend away. Would be nice to see you two again as I only get out once a year and always seem to be missing the gang.

We'll be out a little later than that. For the first time in the last few years we'll be making a trip out in October. A fall trip use to be a yearly occurance for us but, we started getting frustrated by poor odds and high prices, so we had cut back to only one trip per year.

This year however we're making a second trip out. Not because we're back in love with Vegas but because I had made changes our timeshare porfolio and it just worked out better for us to use or HGVC timeshare on the strip rather than try to do something else with it. Next year we'll be back to only planning one week in Vegas. For that matter I already have that week reserved for March of '08.

Doug,
Oddly enough, October is rarely a month I visit LV, However, The weather at that time of year is about as perfect of a time to visit. Cooler evenings are just starting, and during the day the pools are open and less crowded.

Daniel,
Looks like we'll have to "do lunch"! LOL I'm still playing with dates, but under all options, some of our dates will cross! I've been looking at 21 to 27 as well.

I don't think I've ever gone to Vegas this late in September, I'm hoping for cooler daytime temps.

I think Sharon did right by hiding those offers. New Orleans is nothing like Las Vegas. Neither is Tunica. If you are really hurting for the experience, perhaps you could spend a night at Jerrys Nugget without a car and walk to a hotel. Airfare is not a valid point. You can blow that much in 30 minutes. Or you could win 10 times that much with one royal.

Summer just started. The days are already getting shorter. A night time drive with the windows down sure feels good.

Point well taken Joe!
I've been to NO already and really don't need to return to gamble.
Tunica, seemed interesting, but when it is all said and done, what really beats Vegas?

We are doing Vegas!

and to add to the mix--the 2nd annual jingle bell rock will be 12/16/07-12/20/07

Well, I finally completed my September reservations. 3 nights at Caesars and 4 at Main Street Station. We settled on Thursday to Thursday this time. flying on Continental with a stop in Cleveland OH..
Anyone in town 20 to 27????

Darn...I was hoping you would be here on the 28th. I have that day off and I hear the Harley calling for a ride.

Lee,

Glad we visited Tunica, but not interested in returning. You're not missing too much.

Beth

Thanks Beth, I am usually disapointed with any place except Vegas. I guess that's why I keep going back!

Ralph,
We could always stop by one of your local casinos for a cocktail, and catch up one night? Or there is always November. Wendells meet is starting to really take shape.

September is finally looking good ... I'll be driving down on the 23rd and returning either the 27th or 28th.

I'll be out of town the 21st-23rd (Fri-Sun). Maybe we can hook up sometime after I get off work on the other days.

Fado's in GVRS no longer exists, they will reopen sometime in October at Eastern & Serene. But in the same location in GVRS is now McQuinn's Irish Pub, sounds like a good spot to meet for a Guinness after work.

I am still a go for the 22nd till the 25th. The only firm plans I have is Mystere on the 23rd. Any time other then the show would work for me as of right now. I am just looking forward to seeing some of you again.

It sounds like the 24th would be the best day to shoot for a meet ... I'm starting to count the days off for this trip.

24th works for me as well!

And where will we meet on the 24th???

McQuinn's Irish Pub, sounds interesting enough @GVR. Now how about a time????

Yeah, Cajun, what time do you get off work? Will Mrs. Cajun be able to join us since we'll kinda be in your neighborhood?

I can be there by 4:30pm.
