If something happens Friday let me know, but I might be watching pool depending how friends are doing. I'll be around though.

Staying at Harrahs. Where are you? Sent you a pm with my cell phone and also to mommadeb.

HAK & I are getting in by 8:30ish on our respective flights. Since you're sharing with us, unsure if you'll be able to check in w/o him. I can give you the task of breakfast and snack grocery shopping at the nearby Vans

Pm'd you back. I am staying a La Quinta which is walking distance (long but doable) to Harrahs.

That's good to know! I'm sure LA traffic will ensure I don't get there much before then.

Pm'd ya back. I was saying meeting at Harrahs would be good. I can walk there from my hotel.

CAGrl wrote:So what time is everyone getting int? I'm getting in Friday afternoon and was wondering what the plan was. So excited for my first Vegas gathering!

So excited too! We'll be getting in late on friday so no dinner for us. If we decide to go out for a drink I will call around looking for you guys.

We leave on Wednesday... did I mention how excited I am?!?

MarkDaSpark wrote:I suppose I should book a hotel ....

I think that would be a great idea...!

sanity, how late do you work on friday? Can you have dinner with the group!!

I'm excited to see all of you! It's been far too long.

I'll be done with work in the late afternoon and then be busy getting everything ready for Saturday, so I'll miss a Friday evening get-together. Y'all have fun and don't drink too much!

To the bottling I'll be bringing a wine aperitif, and some kind of munchies to go with it. You may want to get lunch on the way to bowling or at Red Rock. Directly across the street are several eateries, including Fast Food. A long block east, many more eateries are available.

do you need any help friday? Should we plan on bringing some munchies as well to the bottling?

mommadeb1 wrote:do you need any help friday? Should we plan on bringing some munchies as well to the bottling?

No, thank you, I have help, and what I'll be bringing will be sufficient. Space and time are limited becasue other bottlings are taking place after ours. We'll do lunch after.

Looks to be hot this weekend. 90° on Friday , 91° on Saturday, and 96° on Sunday. Around 70° each night.

Oh, and what Woot Monkeys am I supposed to be bringing for people?

oh, pshaw, that's not hot. That's balmy weather for us. Though the 2% humidity we had yesterday was a killer.

sanity wrote:oh, pshaw, that's not hot. That's balmy weather for us. Though the 2% humidity we had yesterday was a killer.

Funny, I was thinking almost the same thing and this weekend will be a break from the heat! 104 here right now, 6% humidity.

trish,
just a heads up, i got the shipping confirmation that the package should be arriving on the 17th.

now to stop procrastinating and find a place to stay/decide whether to rent a car...

So on Saturday we drive ourselves to the bottling? If so, would anybody be willing to drive me?

2% humidity? oh the horror for you!! ha ha ha ha I can't wait to be in such low moisture!!

CAGrl wrote:So on Saturday we drive ourselves to the bottling? If so, would anybody be willing to drive me?

we will have a car if you need a ride..

ok official aggghhh time..... what is everyone planning on wearing? I don't want to be under/overdressed? What is the dress code for bottling, dinner at sanaties,,..sunday night dinner? help me out... I don't want to look foolish....esp... for just meeting everyone!!

Check out these posts:

cheron98 wrote:For the bottling - something comfortable that you won't mind having destroyed should there be a mishap and wine gets all over you.

Bowling... um, whatever you typically wear for bowling. Like the bowling shirts. Or something.

Jeans are pretty standard. I'm unsure how nice Fogo is, but I know when I go to the churrascaria by me I typically like to dress a little nicer (khakis/trousers), although jeans generally work there too. With a nice top.

Mommadeb - it's a pretty casual weekend, though now that you bring it up I'm like hmm, maybe I've been underdressed on my woot shirts . More importantly though, Vegas is already in the 90's and a desert, so you want light stuff for the days and something heavier for nights.

Really, very casual, jeans, shorts are fine for everything. Don't dress up just for us! (;

The latest 1 or 2 for me, I think...

thanks don't know how I missed some of those posts!! I feel better now

sanity wrote:oh, pshaw, that's not hot. That's balmy weather for us. Though the 2% humidity we had yesterday was a killer.

You forget that us SoCal Wooters (zTimBz and I especially) are tender flowers. We don't do well in cold or hot.

I'm planning on shorts the whole time. Well, maybe long pants for Fogo. Maybe.


I'm at the LVH as well, so I can give rides on Saturday for bottling & bowling if you are close.

Just fyi Fogo closes at 9pm on Sunday.

So I have a car, but I would really rather not be driving for the weekend since I don't have GPS in my car and knowing me I would totally get lost. I am staying at the La Quinta so it's not far off the strip if people wouldn't mind shuttling me around for the weekend. I can walk to the hotels on the strip because I've done that before and it wasn't so bad.

By the way with Fogo closing at 9:00 should we make dinner a little bit earlier, say like 7 or 7:30?

just finished booking hotel...
will be at westin friday night (gotta get those spg credits)
and then at the lvh for the next two nights (hotwire mystery deal, 4star east of strip, about $50/night)

still debating over getting a rental....
