VEGAS BABY!!

dejavued · Mon, June 22nd, 2009, 12:59 PM

if anyone can swing it a few of us are meeting up in vegas in december (2009).

iroc and the mrs., kali and myself, and lsc are all staying on the north strip.

rooms are really cheap with the economy in this state.... and it gives ya a full 6 month to save up some spending money.

we'll be there dec 7-10.... and i think iroc's staying til the 11th.

just thought i'd throw that out there.

its gonna be a good time. no doubt!

Actually, I'll probably be engaging in public feats of intoxication!

We're staying at the Sahara. Over the years we've stayed at a bunch of different places on the strip, with Treasure Island being our favorite - but this time the Sahara gave us a deal we couldn't pass up.

That's not to far.

I love how Phillydude is ready to party everywhere.

I might be in Philly in November.

I'm sure you can make some drinking game up with the CoC grippers.

I'm definitely excited about this opportunity. I've never been to Vegas, and I've always wanted to go. And December is perfect timing.

I won't have any vacation time, so I'd have to ask for special permission, which I don't want to do until at least I'm back from the summer vacation they allowed me.

I'd also have to consider whether we would bring the kids, or whether we would be better off to see if my mom could arrange to fly here to watch the kids, which could add considerable expense.

Subscribing to thread.

Exactly! this seems like a viable West Coast option! I will definitely try to make it out there. I could even drive!

guava - seeing as I missed out on meeting you here in WI, it would be great to get the chance to meet you in Vegas! I hope you are able to make it.

I hope to see you there!
