Kearie | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 12:05 pm  Some plans as far as the trip to Vegas may change, depending on you. Hotel rates seem to be less expensive when the stay is over week-days rather than week-ends. Lafatme and myself will be staying from April 18th to the 22nd. So feel free to pick the days you want to join us. (Since Katie can't make this trip to Vegas I invited my friend Tori to share a room with me. Feel free to bring along others) Excaliber is our choice for lodging. Check out there sight. http://www.excalibur-casino.com/ I found some different sights to make on-line reservations at Excaliber. A1 Discount--- http://www.180096hotel.com/cgi-bin/chkrates?SID=A1D&Dest=LAS&LKF=A1D&PROD=HOTEL The rates for this On-Line Reservation is April 18 & 19 cost $ 89.95 per night 20 & 21 cost $139.95 per night The other place is $10 more for all four nights. Trip Reservations--- http://www.tripreservations.com/lasvegas/index.cfm?Page=Search Details&StartDate=04/19/2001&EndDate=04/21/2001&Records= 10&StartRow=1&HotelID=0 The rates here are as follows... 18 & 19 $ 90 per night 20 & 21 $145 per night. The nice thing about this sight is that it offers really nice airfare packages from 13 different cities for these dates. Check and see if your city is listed. Example: RT from Minneapolis to Vegas is $191 when you fly on a Thursday and return on a Sunday. Not bad. I would encourage you to reserve a hotel room shortly as some of the Hotels show that there is no vacancy. I will be reserving my lodging within the week. I'm still waiting and hoping for a good deal on airfare deals from Spokane. I will keep you posted on deals that I do find. Please e-mail me at Alyssum4u@aol.com if you have questions and to let me know when you have made reservations. Thanks. Save your

Enbwife | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 04:30 pm  So who's still in on this trip to Vegas??? Somehow I doubt we'll be able to go. We're in the process of buying a house, and hope to do a cross country tour in the summer of Canada and then through the states. We'll probably hit Vegas in July or August, at least that's the plan depending on the house situation. Sounds like the trip will be a blast for those TVCHers who are going!!! |
Kearie | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:02 pm  Lisa...Nothing like 120 degree weather in July and August there...but hotel and airline costs are cheaper then. Hope all works out for You, Neil and the house hunting. (((HUGS))) |
Lafatme | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 07:31 pm  i have to repeat lisa's question...who is going? kearie's done a lot of research about this and no one seems to be interested. if possible, can everyone check in here saying yes or no? that way we'd at least know if we even HAVE a trip to plan. please? |
Max | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 08:31 pm  I can't go. I'm already booked for Vegas in May for the 2nd annual PT Cruiser convention. Can't go twice that close together.

Bamagirl | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 05:43 am  Hubby has a business trip to Vegas in April Kearie...but not sure of dates yet...hoping it is when you are all there. Will let you know when I know more..:o) |
Kearie | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 07:37 am  Thanks Bama and Max |
Willi | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 08:09 am  Sorry I won't be able to make it. I have "stuff" going on here. You all will have a great time |
Kearie | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 07:38 pm  anyone else? |
Digilady | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 08:44 pm  Kearie, I might have, but personal circumstances leaped into the way. Sorry, soumds like a blast. |
Tukuul | Saturday, February 24, 2001 - 04:55 pm  I may be interested in going. What date is this tentatively happening again and who is planning to go? More than likely, I'll stay with an old friend of mine who I just found out bought a house there yesterday. He made an invite. |
Kearie | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 02:38 pm  . Lafatme and myself will be staying from April 18th to the 22nd. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, February 26, 2001 - 06:58 pm  Is this going to be the same weekend as the Worldwide Wrestling Federation convention? |
Kearie | Wednesday, February 28, 2001 - 10:24 am  Ask easier questions OI. lol I have no clue. Sorry. Hope someone else can answer this for you. |
Nancy091158 | Wednesday, February 28, 2001 - 04:12 pm  i will be in jolly ole england fron the 17-25the of april but L.V. sounds like a blast...maybe next time ;-) |
Tukuul | Friday, March 02, 2001 - 09:25 pm  The last time I was in Vegas, we stayed at the Excalibur a couple of nights and at the MGM Grand one night. I thought the rooms at the Excalibur were nice and sufficient for the actual time we spent in them (minimal) and was a reasonable cost compared to some of the others but we were also on a package deal from Best Fares. |
Kearie | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 12:57 pm  thanks for your input on our choice. It may not be the fanciest place, but it is nice and reasonably priced. It is also in walking distance of the newer, really nice places to see and visit. I can't wait to meet you all. Are you thinking of going Tuk? |
Tukuul | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 03:13 pm  It depends on who all is going. |
Kearie | Thursday, March 08, 2001 - 03:45 pm  Looks like Laf and myself won't be making this trip after-all. We got to save save save. He has to find a place for a dog, a cat, a ferret and two people soon. It would be a tight squeeze in his little one bedroom apt. We actually plan to get married in Vegas with just his mom there. We will have a reception in Cali at a later date for those who are interested. |
Tukuul | Thursday, March 08, 2001 - 04:42 pm  That's sort of like life to sometimes not go as planned, but in this case, that is a good thing. Congratulations to the both of you. I certainly understand your reason for saving. |
Kearie | Thursday, March 08, 2001 - 05:22 pm  thanks Tuk. |
Debi4514 | Thursday, March 08, 2001 - 09:51 pm  I really had every intention of going, but unfortunantly, I cannot make it after all. I hope to join you on the next outing. I saw the pictures of the BB gang in Vegas, it is ashame we missed that, it looked like they had a blast!!! |
Cammie | Friday, March 09, 2001 - 08:03 am  Kearie, I got married in Vegas and it was fabulous! Do you have a place chosen already? Congrats to both of you! |
Kearie | Friday, March 09, 2001 - 09:50 am  no, we don't. any suggestions? |
Tukuul | Friday, March 09, 2001 - 10:31 am  When did the BB gang go to Vegas and who all went? |
Cammie | Friday, March 09, 2001 - 12:10 pm  Kearie, We got married at the Graceland Wedding Chapel (you pay extra for Elvis to sing!) but there are tons of places. A lot of hotels even have chapels in them. Most places are very pretty and not cheezy at all. |
Kearie | Saturday, March 10, 2001 - 08:23 am  Thanks Cammie. |
