hehehe, "Travel Channel" AKA "The Las Vegas Channel". There must be some sort of financial arrangement - it's a video commercial for LV at least once a week.

If I'm in town, I'm gonna make at least one official gathering, just to introduce myself in the flesh (since I can't figure out how to post any photos) and meet you all (and watch an episode of Big Brother perhaps??)

Balley's sounds great. I will book the room by next weekend. I just got approval on my vacation so I will arrive Sunday and stay 4 nights. A Big Brother get together sounds great! I am so excited now!!

Granny, a few of us were talking about the trip in chat it was suggested that maybe we should get a room at another hotel for the 17th and then move to Bally's for the rest of the trip. What do you think? Also are you still trying to get a meeting room at Bally's for the official meet? Or at a restaurant somewhere?

Pamy and anyone else who has stayed at Bally's...I may come to this gathering, but I'm not sure if ds(13 yrs old) will be with me. Does anyone know if Bally's is kid friendly, or is it more adult oriented? The reason I ask, is because we might stay somewhere else close by where ds could have fun, too. Although the $59 price at Bally's sounds wonderful, and that alone could sway my decision. I'd appreciate your feedback. Is anyone else bringing teenagers or younger?

Mojo, that is fine with me. One night at another place is just fine with me. We just need to check out the prices and see what we can find. I will check the prices in just a little bit and let you know, ok? You do know that Fanny is coming don't you?

Lucy, I'm not sure if anybody else is bringing kids or not. I've just been counting rooms not necessarily people. I just ask for who was staying with whom. Whether it was roommates, or staying with relatives, or getting rooms on their on. So I really don't know. Maybe somebody else will come along and answer your question but if they don't, I'll try to find out for you, ok?

Fanny's really coming?? What about Tootsie?? Omg this is great!!

Lucy, I think Landi was brining her daughter but I'm not sure.

Seems we have a "baby sitter" for Tootsie!! Can you guess who?

Oh, forgot, the price of the rooms for a Saturday on the internet are any where between $100 and $250 for the night. Compared to $59 a night, I may have to rethink mine and come in on Sunday. Now that's staying at one of the casinos. It may be cheaper to stay at something besides a casino. What do you think? I know that even here at Tunica the price of room doubles on the weekends because that's mostly when everybody goes.

Yeah I can guess who, lol.

There are cheaper hotels but I don't know where they are in relation to the strip and I'm too lazy to click on the maps at each one, lol. If you can come to chat and we can strategize.

Lucy...I think of Vegas as our time so I have always told my 8 yr old that kids aren't allowed in Vegas LOL

People have kids there, it is not as kid friendly as Circus Circus

I'm with Pamy. With the kids this young, Vegas is the one place they aren't going. It's the only chance I get to go somewhere without them and recharge my mommy batteries and get to do whatever I want to do while I'm there.

Yup, big difference between little ones who need you constantly and those who are able to do some things on their own or entertain themselves while they're with you.

Thanks for the info..Still not sure at this point if it will happen anyway. I was trying to combine it with a trip to Florida to visit mil/fil.

If anyone has any questions on locations of different hotels, I know where most of them are located (in relation to Ballys - which is at the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo).

PS. hubby is eager to meet any of you who help with the Big Brother live feed postings (he's a fan).

Kona, if you could suggest a few hotels that are close to Bally's, that would be wonderful. Especially since you know how close they would be. We don't want to have to hike a mile the next day with luggage to get to Bally's. We will definately have to plan as many BB episodes to watch as possible while we are there.

Granny, I'm tentatively planning on going, but I'm going to see if my connection at Holiday Inn can get me a room for $29.00.

YEAH!!!!! Ddr. When are you thinking about coming in? Saturday or Sunday. Trying to get an idea of the "big together". I want to make sure we do it at a time when everyone can be there.

Pamy

Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 1:19 pm   Edit Post Move Post Delete Post View Post    
DDR...I would pay the extra 30 and stay at Bally's ..trust me it is worth it

Pamy, are the rooms $59? At that price I'd agree. Granny, I'd be coming in on the Saturday.

Ddr, Bally's doesn't have any room available on Saturday, only Sunday thru Thursday.

I've been thinking Pamy, you know how much that extra $30 each night would buy at the superstore?
