I'm down for a massage that week too! Nudity be darned!

Hey welcome! No schedule up yet or anything like that, just lots of excited chatter going on and ideas being tossed out. lol

I wish you could come and join us!! We'd love to have you here! :yay:

[stacielee]

I'm definitely up for Dick's, I"ve been to the one in Chicago a few times, what a blast!! And definitely a massage, at a reputable place! But where are we eating? It's all about the food, isn't it??

No, it's all about the SHOPPING! Actually, at some point I would like to go to the Forum Shops. I have NEVER BEEN THERE. Shocking, no?

Seriously, food is high on my list too. And just hangin' with you all. Even though I may just watch! The problem is that so many of the "signature" dining places are pretty expensive. Maybe we should do drinks and appies? All I know is that I went to Emeril's once at MGM and was mighty disappointed in the meal and the experience for the price we paid.

Well Dick's can be one meal.
Earl of Sandwich is always good for a quick bite for lunch or whatever.
Grand Lux Cafe in the Venetian Hotel is supposed to be good. I think they are owned by the Cheesecake Factory.

Do ya'll like buffets? Paris has a good breakfast one. So does the Rio.

There are many, many upscale restaurants by famous chefs but if that's what you are looking for, I really can't help you. I won't go anyplace where I can't pronounce the items on the menu. :rotfl:

There is a Margaritaville that I've always wanted to try.

If we do the Tony and Tina's wedding, that is dinner and a show.

It really depends on what food and atmosphere you want. Also how much you want to spend. You can find pretty much anything you want here. :thumbsup2 And when you are hungry it ALL sounds good. LOL

[mommaU4]

Hurry and get in your car!! Jen and I are going to be there tonight. We'll wait for you. ;)

I've been there a few times, but can't afford a gosh darn thing in any of those stores. :lmao: It's fun to window shop though, and also take the curving escalators.

As for food, drinks and appetizers would work for me. Even those can add up so we'd still have to watch where we go. Unless someone hits it big on the slots! :banana:

LOL--I think even if I drove like Amy there's no way I would get there in time. Have a WONDERFUL evening with Jen. And I probably wouldn't buy anything in those stores either--do they still have the people who pose like statues though?

I haven't seen them there but I saw them the other day at the Venetian. They are creepy! :scared1: :rotfl:

I need to update everyone's arrival and departure days. Do I already have yours?

Guess I could just go look on the front page......... :rolleyes1 lol

The massage was wonderful. And the price was great too.

:rotfl2:

We ate lunch at the italian place in New York New York and it was delish. The pizza was about $13 and was huge. Easily could have split it. Instead I took half back with me. And they have a mango colada that was sooooo yummy. $13 for that too. The place was nice, but not overly pricy. And the portions were nice sized as well.

But yeah, I am all up for eating. We did do the buffet at Planet Hollywood. I thought it was good. Pricey though, $30. But it had seafood, salad, soups, italian, asian, middle eastern, american, mexican, and a huge dessert bar. I wish we would have taken our time there. But we got there right near closing and rushed. The seafood was really good. And the prime rib and ribs were yummy as well.

We also ate at Dan Marino's. Good basic food. Great meal after midnight though. lol. I'd go back there as well.

Any one have other suggestions? I scoped out a few clubs/bars that were laid back, but yet stylish enough to want to be there. But not intimidating in any way.

I would love to grab something at the Harley restraunt. DBF rides and would think its cool if I took a pic on one there.

Who ever is up for a massage, let me know and I will forward them the info on the place I went. Yes there was nudity in the locker rooms, lots of it actually. But the overall facilities were great. Its a Korean Spa. The massages were all good. Even my brother and his buddy enjoyed them. And his friend didn't even want to go. He now wants to go back. And one in our group had the scrub with milk. She said she wanted to marry that girl when she was done. :rotfl: Let me know.

Oh, and I am thinking I might stay till Sunday if most are as well.

The only reason I caught it was that one of the friend's I went with this weekend said almost the same thing. I suggested going to Dick's Last Resort for dinner, and her reply was "I love Dick's". That had us all rolling for quite some time.

Angel you say? Not in Vegas, and not at Diablo's. ;)

Toss me under the bus why don't you

[Queenbillabong]

OK - I'm thinking I may be able to come for part of the trip. I definitely can't make the whole trip because DH is leaving for TO on June 25 - so I would have to be home on the 24. Does anyone know when a schedule will start happening?

I've never been to LV, so it will all be new and shiny for me!

[stacielee]

Isn't that what sistas are supposed to do??? :confused3

YAY!! Another one to join us. Have no idea about the schedule, I'll just go (almost) anywhere the others go.

I think a schedule will be in the works really soon. :thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

Stacie, I think I asked this already, but I can't remember what the answer was. LOL Is your friend Doreen still coming?

And I sent Audra a PM but I haven't heard back so I don't know if she's still coming or not. If she did, she was staying with family or friends anyway.

[stacielee]

She's going to try; she said if there wasn't room in the timeshare, she would get a hotel room. She's got some family stuff going on, and her brother found out a few months ago that he has pancreatic cancer. She really wants to go.

Something I noticed that they changed in the description of the timeshare "Suites are in 2 and 3 story buildings with no elevator." Cheryl, will that be a problem? I will still call and ask, but just wanted to let you know what is said.

Theresa, did you want to stay in the timeshare? We are getting close to 6 people, so it may be time to get a 2nd one. I think Debbie wants to stay in it as well, so if T & D are in for the timeshare, that gives us 6. Then, possibly Michelle and Doreen. There is still a timeshare available for 4 if we need it.

No elevator? Yikes. 2 stories might not be so bad, but 3 would be. Can you request a room location?

So in the timeshare now are:
Stacie(lee)
Stacie(rita)
Cheryl
Wendy
Debra
and possibly Theresa?
That's the six right?

[mommaU4]

Here is a link to the tripadvisor page with the reviews for the timeshare: http://las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g45963-d296425-Reviews-Summer_Bay_Resort_Las_Vegas-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html

You can see candid traveler's photos (click on photos 46), which is what I always like to look at. It seems nice. The reviews say to ask for a remodeled unit, so Stacie, maybe when you call you could see what they say about that.

Also Cheryl will have a car right? Or else you'll take taxis? I seriously do not want anyone doing that walk from the hotel to the Strip. It is not a nice area, nor a nice walk.

In Vegas, as a tourist you are safest when you are hanging out on the Strip OR in one of the residential neighborhoods like Henderson, Green Valley, or Summerlin (where we live). The residential areas that are immediately surrounding the Strip are NOT nice. They have a lot of the lower income or homeless, lots of gang related crime, drugs, prostitution, etc.

That's pretty much the way it is in any big city. You have your nice areas, and your tourist areas which are all fine, then you have certain areas to steer clear of. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but I know we have some Vegas newbies and I just wanted to let them know what's what. You're hotel is totally fine, just don't go out for a stroll alone at midnight is all I'm saying. Be smart and you'll be fine.

(hmmmm, I sound like my mother now :eek: )

[mommaU4]

Stacie, if your friend or anyone else ends up needing a hotel room for those dates, MGM is having some deals during that time: http://hotels.travelzoo.com/las-vegas-hotels/558011?ptl=done&rating=&tppct=

For June 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 it's only $49 a night. Plus you get some free slot play and club passes.
Then June 26 it's $97, and June 27 it's $104. (Fri and Sat are always higher)

Anyway, just thought I'd toss that out there in case anyone was interested or we ended up with some who needed a hotel room. :)

[Queenbillabong]

Is anyone staying at a hotel on the strip?? My "issue" is that I really don't sleep well (even at home), so I usually work and bug the bejeebers out of anyone I'm with (except my son and DH, who know me and love me anyway :rolleyes:). I want to be economical, but I don't want to cheese everyone off either!

That being said, if I'm the only one staying at a hotel, it may be an issue, right, with doing stuff together??

Oh my, I just took a look and these seem really nice! How hard would it be if I were to stay here and still be "with" the group??

Theresa, I'm staying at home, lol, so I can't help you there. And I think so far, everyone had been in the timeshare.
But that deal I posted for the MGM Grand is pretty good. At least the $49 nights aren't bad. Even the Friday and Saturday night prices aren't bad for a Strip hotel in summer. I've seen them way over $200 a night.

Anyway, if you stayed on the Strip I think you'd be ok with meeting up with everyone. Amy, Jane and I are all local, so we'll be driving to meet up. One of us can pick you up, or you can take a taxi.

Actually when I had friends visit before, we'd pick a main meeting point, usually a hotel. I'd park there, and then take taxis or the monorail with them during the day. There are lots of ways to make it work. :)

Hmmmmmm, sounds good. I think a number of the activities were going to be at the MGM, right? I checked the specials and it's good (a little bit more) for the bungalow suites (whatever the heck that means). Has anyone ever stayed here?

I was able to get the Grand Tower Room for the $49 rate with a King bed.

Here is the description:
Larger than the average Las Vegas room, the 446 square foot deluxe rooms at the MGM Grand are decorated in classic motifs offering the finest in elegance and comfort. Each room features either a single king bed or 2 queen sized beds, and is accessorized with a custom black and white marble bathroom, luxurious cotton towels and spacious closets, remote control television, hair dryer, safe and an alarm clock. All rooms feature wireless high-speed internet access.

You can see a layout of the room and pics of it here: https://reservations.mgmmirage.com/bookingengine.aspx?host=promo&pid=001&code=MKT242
Just click on view available dates and I picked June 21 thru 24.

I've never stayed there, but it's one of the kids favorite places because of the Lion Habitat. So we park there, see the lions and then walk down a bit to M&M World.

[mommaU4]

Hmmmmmm, sounds good. I think a number of the activities were going to be at the MGM, right? I checked the specials and it's good (a little bit more) for the bungalow suites (whatever the heck that means). Has anyone ever stayed here?I checked and the bungalow suites just seem to be bigger. So for $10 more per night, I guess it's up to you how much room you want/need.

I forgot there is also a Rainforest Cafe in MGM. We didn't really have any plans there specifically, BUT we are going to Dick's and Thunder From Down Under which is right across the street (diagonally) at Excalibur, so you'd be right there for that.
And it's directly across from New York New York, where Stacie wanted to eat one day.
And MGM is a stop on the monorail so that's a bonus there too, if we use that at all.

It's not really centrally located on the Strip, it's more down on the end, but not as bad as Mandalay Bay for example. And it's a nice place. Not trashy like Hooter's Hotel and Casino, or the Riviera, or one of those places.

Here is a map of the Strip so you can kind of see where it is:

Vegas.com is a great website for learning more about Vegas. It can all be a bit overwhelming, but it helps a little bit. lol

[Queenbillabong]

That sounds great to me!! It is a bit overwhelming because I've never been, but I seem to be on a roll this year ;) Do you happen to know if the hotel has an airport shuttle? I cannot find that info on the website - or around how much taxi fare to/from the airport is??


EDIT - Oooh, just checked on the link you provided and there is shuttle service (for a fee), so that's great!

I was just thinking, you are a wild woman now!! First Disney solo and now Vegas!! :banana::banana::banana: Soon, you'll be jetting off to Paris. Oh, wait you can go to Paris while you are here. ;) Or at least our version of it. haha


Here is the shuttle info, that you probably already read:
Shuttle transportation (one-way and round-trip) is available for a fee at the MGM check-in desk located near carousel one in the main baggage claim at McCarran International Airport. The MGM check-in desk handles check-in and shuttle arrangements for guests of the MGM Grand. Shuttle transportation can be billed to your hotel room. The check-in desk is open daily, 9 a.m. - 11 p.m.


I like that they have a check in at the airport. That's nice and handy so you are all set when you arrive. The shuttle is $15.50 round trip. A taxi will run you between $14-$16 one way. So a shuttle is obviously a better way to go. They run every 30 minutes and you just sign up for it at the airport.

[mommaU4]

:scared1: Have you seen the airport and how insane it is??? :scared1:

:rotfl:

Seriously though, it's a madhouse with all the taxis. I always let Ruben go when ever my mom comes into town. :rolleyes1

But once you get your flight info, let me know and I'll see what I can do. :) I can't remember who all is arriving on Sunday, but if you and Theresa will be here then if nothing else, the three of us can go out. And maybe Amy or Jane will join us. :dance3:

[Queenbillabong]

I'm hoping someone offers to pick me up from the airport (hint, hint). I have no idea on time yet, do you?

With the flights I'm looking at, it seems like arrival should be around 1:15 or so. There are some funky flights (over 7 hours :scared1:). Uh, no thanks!!! Give me a direct flight (two and a half hours!!!).

Is anyone interested in seeing a Cirque du Soleil show? I've never been to one and I would love to go!!! I would not minding going to dinner and Thunder (shhh, don't tell DH!!) This is not something I would normally do and I will probably die of embarrassment, but I'm game :thumbsup2 I think Tony and Tina's would be fun too (they do that one in Vancouver too, but I've never been!).

Because this is my first time, everything would be new and fun for me. I don't really have any suggestions of what I'd like to do - not until my second trip!!!

I guess I am a wild woman now......

Sounds like a good plan. Although since it is Father's Day, I'm not sure I'll be able to get out of here, unless I can somehow plan something for my 3 kids to do with their dad... hey, what a concept, for Father's Day!!

The RFC has amazing waiters.

That's what I'm going to do as well..... I'll take Frank out for dinner on Friday or Saturday, then he can have some father/son time with Jesse on Sunday (after they drop me off ;)).

Which Cirque show are you interested in? I think some of them are less expensive than others, right? I would love any of them - never seen one live before!

Stacie: can you call the timeshare and see if they will give you a ground floor room for medical reasons? (I can produce a doctor's note if necessary). Stairs just kill me. If they can't guarantee that, then I may have to go the MGM route instead too. Which would free up a place in the timeshare. By the way, I HAVE stayed in the MGM and it is very nice.
Not sure where the bungalows are--I've stayed in the towers.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's brother. How sad. I hope she is still able to make it.

No elevator? Yikes. 2 stories might not be so bad, but 3 would be. Can you request a room location?

So in the timeshare now are:
Stacie(lee)
Stacie(rita)
Cheryl
Wendy
Debra
and possibly Theresa?
That's the six right?

I checked and the bungalow suites just seem to be bigger. So for $10 more per night, I guess it's up to you how much room you want/need.

I forgot there is also a Rainforest Cafe in MGM. We didn't really have any plans there specifically, BUT we are going to Dick's and Thunder From Down Under which is right across the street (diagonally) at Excalibur, so you'd be right there for that.
And it's directly across from New York New York, where Stacie wanted to eat one day.
And MGM is a stop on the monorail so that's a bonus there too, if we use that at all.

It's not really centrally located on the Strip, it's more down on the end, but not as bad as Mandalay Bay for example. And it's a nice place. Not trashy like Hooter's Hotel and Casino, or the Riviera, or one of those places.

Here is a map of the Strip so you can kind of see where it is:
http://www.vegas.com/lounge/map.html

Vegas.com is a great website for learning more about Vegas. It can all be a bit overwhelming, but it helps a little bit. lol

Hey hey hey! Don't make fun of my Riviera!!! At least they give me free rooms sometimes--it's Mom's favorite place! The Riv is a happenin' place ;) I almost got picked up at a slot machine by some old guy once, so it's dear to my heart.

Is anyone interested in seeing a Cirque du Soleil show? I've never been to one and I would love to go!!! I would not minding going to dinner and Thunder (shhh, don't tell DH!!) This is not something I would normally do and I will probably die of embarrassment, but I'm game :thumbsup2 I think Tony and Tina's would be fun too (they do that one in Vancouver too, but I've never been!).

Because this is my first time, everything would be new and fun for me. I don't really have any suggestions of what I'd like to do - not until my second trip!!!

I guess I am a wild woman now......

Yes, you ARE wild woman. I hope we are there at the same time (I don't know what days I'll be there yet) so I can get to spend more time with you! And I would love to see a Cirque show--the only one I've seen is Mystere (but would be ok seeing that one again too)

Sounds like a good plan. Although since it is Father's Day, I'm not sure I'll be able to get out of here, unless I can somehow plan something for my 3 kids to do with their dad... hey, what a concept, for Father's Day!!



Yes to Cirque, Tony & Tina's, still not sure about Thunder... :angel:


Ok, is it just sad that I'm not even sure what Thunder is? All I will say is that my one and only trip to Chippendale's I was thoroughly bored.

[wendylady36]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I would absolutely die to see LOVE. I don't know if I could afford it, but I've wanted to see it for the past four or so years. :lovestruc

I don't know what dates I'll be in Las Vegas yet. :confused3

You were always a wild woman. It just took meeting us to bring it out in you!! ;)

The Cirque shows are spectacular!
I've seen several of them. Oh heck, here are all the shows I've seen here. I'm not bragging, just saying in case anyone has any questions. :rolleyes1 (Seriously, the locals discounts are what saves us. If not for those, I'd never be able to afford to go, so it's not as big of a deal as it seems)

Anyway, I've seen:
Love
KA
Mystere
Zumanity
Danny Gans
Phantom of the Opera
Mamma Mia
Siegfreid and Roy
Dirk Arthur Xtreme Magic
Scarlett Princess of Magic
Carrot Top
Bottoms Up
Mac King
Ronn Lucas
American Superstars
Skintight
Showgirls
Jubilee
X - An Erotic Adventure
Splash
Spamalot
The Producers
V -The Ultimate Variety Show
Crazy Girls
Stomp Out Loud
Tony and Tina's Wedding
Mega Bubble Show
Nathan Burton Magic Show
Popovich Pet Comedy Show


Some of those aren't around anymore as that list includes not just the ones since we moved here, but over the years as well.

I cannot wait to see either Chippendales or Thunder From Down Under!! :banana::banana::banana:

[mommaU4]

Yes to Cirque, Tony & Tina's, still not sure about Thunder... :angel:
Oh hush! We won't drag you to OG but you are coming to Thunder. It'll be fun, even if the show is cheesy. :rotfl2:



Not sure where the bungalows are--I've stayed in the towers.


I think they just call them bungalows. In the pics, they appeared to be regular rooms, just larger. I don't think they are in a separate area or anything.


Hey hey hey! Don't make fun of my Riviera!!! At least they give me free rooms sometimes--it's Mom's favorite place! The Riv is a happenin' place ;) I almost got picked up at a slot machine by some old guy once, so it's dear to my heart.

OK, you can keep the Riviera. :laughing: (hugs) It's ok, just not my first choice. I love Mirage, and the Venetian.

Yes, you ARE wild woman. I hope we are there at the same time (I don't know what days I'll be there yet) so I can get to spend more time with you! And I would love to see a Cirque show--the only one I've seen is Mystere (but would be ok seeing that one again too)

Mystere was good, really good. But it was actually my least favorite of all the Cirque shows I've seen. KA is so awesome. You'd love it. And Love is a lot of fun and upbeat. Zumanity is fun too, but in a more adult way. ;)


Ok, is it just sad that I'm not even sure what Thunder is? All I will say is that my one and only trip to Chippendale's I was thoroughly bored.
But that's only because you haven't been with us! (Thunder is similar to Chippendales)

[mommaU4]

I don't know what dates I'll be in Las Vegas yet. :confused3Love was really good and I'm not even a Beatles fan. They can be really expensive though. We lucked out with those tickets. Ticketmaster was having a sale the year we moved here. It had nothing to do with being local. Anyway, we were about 12 rows back from the stage, and scored tickets for the unheard of price of $50 each.

I've kept an eye out for a sale like that ever since, but they never had another one. :sad2:

Aren't you coming the whole week?
You know you wanna.......... :rolleyes1

[wendylady36]

Thanks for the link Beth. I always like to get info about where I am staying before I show up. I like how the person that "wouldn't return" still gave the place three stars or dots or whatever they call them on that site. I REALLY didn't need to see the photos of the bugs though. :scared: If anyone hears screaming, it means I found one of those things. :scared1:

Lucky ducks! I want $50 tickets to LOVE!!!!

Of course I want to, but right now that's not economically feasible. :sad1: Stupid needing money to pay for stuff. hmph!

But the post did say it was found in the bathroom which can happen at any hotel. They are attracted to water. I found one in the shower at a nice hotel in San Diego once. Scared the crap outta me!!!! :scared:

I just checked and for Love during that week, to get a decent seat (meaning not in the nose bleed section) it's running around $138 a ticket. Not sure if there will be any discounts offered then or not. Doubtful though since it is prime tourist season after all. :confused3

[mommaU4]

Lucky ducks! I want $50 tickets to LOVE!!!!

Me too!!! I never found them again. It was called a Summertime Sale on the Ticketmaster website. Ruben found a link to it on the slickdeals website he goes to. At the time I didn't know anything about Love so we almost didn't book it. lol
But we did, and we also got KA tickets for $50 each. We loved them both and I've always wanted to go back and take my older kids, but I've never, ever seen another deal like that. :rolleyes:

Of course I want to, but right now that's not economically feasible. :sad1: Stupid needing money to pay for stuff. hmph!
Oh yeah. The money part. I always forget about that when I'm planning my vacations. :rolleyes1 :sad2: Well, at least the timeshare is cheap!!


How are you getting here by the way? Flying? Driving? Magic carpet? ;)

[wendylady36]

Bugs just don't belong indoors! We get the strangest looking bugs in the building I work in, lots of black widows too. :scared: I just don't like creepy crawlies! I don't know if I've ever stayed at a hotel that has had bugs. :confused3

I was looking at the LOVE tickets too. I've always wanted to go and this might be my only chance.

Magic carpet sounds nice! :thumbsup2 Throw a hot guy on there too. :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

I'm thinking I'll be flying, 'cause it'll probably cost the same to drive, but flying will be easier and faster. :woohoo: I check the DING fares everday for Las Vegas, they've showed up a few times, but I've never had the money did buy them.

No they don't belong indoors. Actually I'd be happy if there were no bugs anywhere. OMG, you have black widows where you work??? I'll take a big ole roach over a black widow any day. :scared1:

I think you should go see Love. There is still time to save up for it. It's a great show. Are you a Beatles fan? If so, and you really have wanted this for a long time then you should go for it. You'll already be here and that's part of the expense right there. So why wait until you come back? Might as well go for it!

[mommaU4]

Easier and faster is a good thing. I don't like to fly, but at least it's not far. Probably what......an hour or two flight? That's better then a long drive through the boring desert.

I was thinking Love or Ka would be good...... It would be nice to figure out a bit of a schedule to help with "budgeting" for the trip and making sure we can get tickets for whatever we want/need tickets for popcorn::

[mommaU4]

Just take your Disney budget and double it. :thumbsup2 :rotfl:

Kidding. Well, sort of. It does depend on what you do here. You can spend a fortune or do things on the cheap.

I'll see if I can throw some sort of schedule together tonight while the kids are working on homework. We know more or less what we want to do, plus there are just certain things all first time visitors must see, like the fountains, the volcano, etc. Those are just a given, and they are free!

In the meantime, look on Google for fun things to do in Vegas or on the Vegas.com site and see if there is anything specific you'd like to add or make sure to see. We'll find a way to squeeze it all in. It's 24/7 here, you can stay up all night and sleep when you get home. ;)

[wendylady36]

Free is always good! :thumbsup2

I'm going to be such a tourist. My first time I went to New York I was a complete tourist, taking pictures of everything. My sister was mortified and begged me to stop taking so many pictures. I was like "No way! I'll never see these people again and everything is so pretty, I wanna take pictures!" So I did and I'm glad I did. :snooty:

Snap away, no one will mind.


OKay, I've got a print out of the schedule Stacie had worked on way back on page 21. I think we've added and deleted some things since then, so it will definitely need tweaking.

It's going to be a bit of a challenge because not everyone is here on the same days, but I'll do my best to keep the really fun things on the overlapping days so no one misses too much.

I've got a map of the Strip to sort of set a schedule that flows nicely so we are not wasting time hopping from one end to the other and back again. And I've got a website with the list of hours for the free shows, the bars, the restaurants, etc. so we can have those handy as well.

Time to get to planning!! I'll post what I come up with later tonight, and we can all work to tweak it from there. I'll just get us started. :thumbsup2

Stacie: can you call the timeshare and see if they will give you a ground floor room for medical reasons? (I can produce a doctor's note if necessary). Stairs just kill me. If they can't guarantee that, then I may have to go the MGM route instead too. Which would free up a place in the timeshare.

I emailed the timeshare today; if I don't hear from them in a day or 2, I'll call and see what's up.

We hardly ever get Ding fares from Phoenix to Vegas. And the low fares they're advertising right now, $49, are Monday-Saturday, of course not Sunday!!

ME?? I think not. I'll take your camera and take lots of pics of you. :thumbsup2




Sounds good, we are waiting patiently... :rolleyes1 and doing laundry :laundy:Thankfully I did laundry this morning. I always do at least a load a day to stay on top of it. :rolleyes:

Keep waiting, I've already started!!



I'm watching!Me too! Speaking of tickers, I like yours Wendy. :thumbsup2






OK, I'm only popping back in here because I remember Stacie saying she wanted to eat at an Italian restaurant in NY NY.
Stacie, was it the Il Fornaio? I just want to make sure we are on the same page. Thanks.

[wendylady36]

ME?? I think not. I'll take your camera and take lots of pics of you. :thumbsup2

Eww, I don't need photographic evidence of my muffin top!

Heehee, my family calls it Ill Fornaio, because the one time we ate there we thought it was horrible and got bad stomach aches. I would be up to trying the one in Vegas though. :thumbsup2

Man, I WISH I could get airfare for $49!!! The cheapest I can find from Vancouver is $400 return........

I've done my laundry for today, so I'll just wait (and then go out to take DS to his practice), then more work (yippee!!)

[stacielee]

Okay, here they are...

[Queenbillabong]

Okay, here they are...

Cool :thumbsup2 Can I just say that I'm jealous you have so many trips coming up??????

Have fun!!

[Stacerita]

Holy cow. First this thread moves a page a month, then today you guys chat up 5 pages, damn!

Here is a link to the tripadvisor page with the reviews for the timeshare: http://las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g45963-d296425-Reviews-Summer_Bay_Resort_Las_Vegas-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html

You can see candid traveler's photos (click on photos 46), which is what I always like to look at. It seems nice. The reviews say to ask for a remodeled unit, so Stacie, maybe when you call you could see what they say about that.

Also Cheryl will have a car right? Or else you'll take taxis? I seriously do not want anyone doing that walk from the hotel to the Strip. It is not a nice area, nor a nice walk.
In Vegas, as a tourist you are safest when you are hanging out on the Strip OR in one of the residential neighborhoods like Henderson, Green Valley, or Summerlin (where we live). The residential areas that are immediately surrounding the Strip are NOT nice. They have a lot of the lower income or homeless, lots of gang related crime, drugs, prostitution, etc.

That's pretty much the way it is in any big city. You have your nice areas, and your tourist areas which are all fine, then you have certain areas to steer clear of. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but I know we have some Vegas newbies and I just wanted to let them know what's what. You're hotel is totally fine, just don't go out for a stroll alone at midnight is all I'm saying. Be smart and you'll be fine.

(hmmmm, I sound like my mother now :eek: )

Thanks mom! I will also have my car. And I thought I read that the time share offers shuttles to the strip. Or no? If that's the case, we can shuttle to the strip, and taxi it home.

Is anyone staying at a hotel on the strip?? My "issue" is that I really don't sleep well (even at home), so I usually work and bug the bejeebers out of anyone I'm with (except my son and DH, who know me and love me anyway :rolleyes:). I want to be economical, but I don't want to cheese everyone off either!

That being said, if I'm the only one staying at a hotel, it may be an issue, right, with doing stuff together??

Hey Theresa, no worries. I have insomnia, so I have issues with sleeping as well. If I can sleep, and my body is ready, nothing can stop me. But most nights I am up, tossing, watching tv, reading, or whatever. Stay with us. We can bunk up. You being up won't bother me. I like to nap and relax more than sleep. So its all good.

I'm hoping someone offers to pick me up from the airport (hint, hint). I have no idea on time yet, do you?

I'd pick you up, but I am not coming in till Monday. Have to spend Father's day with my father. And since DD's father has never been in the pic, we always are together.

7 hours?? That's nuts.

1:15 seems like a good arrival time! :thumbsup2

7 hours?? Sounds like my drive home the other day.

Is anyone interested in seeing a Cirque du Soleil show? I've never been to one and I would love to go!!! I would not minding going to dinner and Thunder (shhh, don't tell DH!!) This is not something I would normally do and I will probably die of embarrassment, but I'm game :thumbsup2 I think Tony and Tina's would be fun too (they do that one in Vancouver too, but I've never been!).

Because this is my first time, everything would be new and fun for me. I don't really have any suggestions of what I'd like to do - not until my second trip!!!

I guess I am a wild woman now......

Yep, you are a wild woman now. Just have to make appointments at Atomic and you are good to go.

You were always a wild woman. It just took meeting us to bring it out in you!! ;)

The Cirque shows are spectacular!

Damn, so what haven't you seen besides nakie men?

Lucky ducks! I want $50 tickets to LOVE!!!!



Of course I want to, but right now that's not economically feasible. :sad1: Stupid needing money to pay for stuff. hmph!

Lets try to see Love. My mother say it and loved it. But heck, I will see almost anything.

ME?? I think not. I'll take your camera and take lots of pics of you. :thumbsup2



Thankfully I did laundry this morning. I always do at least a load a day to stay on top of it. :rolleyes:

Keep waiting, I've already started!!



Me too! Speaking of tickers, I like yours Wendy. :thumbsup2

Stacie, was it the Il Fornaio? I just want to make sure we are on the same page. Thanks.


Yes, thats the place I ate at last week. It was yummy. We don't have to eat there in June. Just tossed it out as a nice place, huge portions, and great drinks. Pizzas were big enough to share, and were only $13. Mango colada was mmmmmm, also $13.

[Stacerita]

DBF wants to do a quick trip up there sometime soon. Hopefully next month. Talking with him about it tonight.

[stacielee]

Well, our other trip is over, what else do we have to do???

Yes, the timeshare has a shuttle, and from the info on tripadvisor, you can arrange pretty much any ride, within reason.

Definitely stay with us. If you go to www.summerbayresort and look at the Las Vegas accomodations, the suites that sleep 6 are pretty big. I'm sure we can figure something out for you, Theresa. Don't worry about it. Besides, how can you be a wild woman if you don't stay with the other wild women??? :dance3:

This sounds great to me!! The only thing I will miss is Tony and Tina's and the Voodoo lounge, but I can do that another time :thumbsup2 BTW - I vote for Carnegie's Deli on Monday. We don't have anything like that here at all, so I've always wanted to go.

Ummm, what is Olympic Garden??

[jordansmomma]

Yay!! You rock :thumbsup2




Man, I WISH I could get airfare for $49!!! The cheapest I can find from Vancouver is $400 return........

I've done my laundry for today, so I'll just wait (and then go out to take DS to his practice), then more work (yippee!!)

Fly or drive down to Seatac and get a ding flight from Seattle to Las Vegas.

Right now on 6/24 there are $99 flights one way from Spokane to Las Vegas.

Ok I am coming on Wednesday morning. I am not missing the strippers!!!

Geesh I actually work at work yesterday and you chics are all sorts of chatty!!

[stacielee]

Okay, Ding fares just came out today for April, Phoenix to Vegas, $39!! I hope they come up for June as well. I'm going to book it now, for $59, and hopefully the Ding fares will come up later and I can change my flight. I'm looking at arriving in Vegas at 1:05pm on Sunday (share a shuttle, Theresa?) and leaving on Saturday night (leaving on Sunday the fare jumps to $111). Sound good?

[mommaU4]

Ok, just to prove what a complete noob I am, what is Atomic????? :confused3



This sounds great to me!! The only thing I will miss is Tony and Tina's and the Voodoo lounge, but I can do that another time :thumbsup2 BTW - I vote for Carnegie's Deli on Monday. We don't have anything like that here at all, so I've always wanted to go.

Ummm, what is Olympic Garden??I don't know what Atomic is either. There is the Atomic Testing Museum but I don't think that's what she's referring to. LOL

Then there is the Atomic Liquor Store and Bar. I read this review on it:
This place opened in 1952 and is supposed to be the oldest licensed bar in Las Vegas. The Rat Pack used to drink here after shows. The place gets its name from when people used to watch atomic testing blasts from the roof. Some of the bar scenes in the movie "Casino" were filmed here.

It's only two blocks east of the El Cortez on Fremont and 9th. It's a "long" two blocks though. The whole Fremont East area used to be (some say still is) the skid row of Vegas full of crime, drug addicts, and prostitutes. Because of the recent renovation by the city, East Fremont is patrolled by private security up to the El Cortez.

The area has been cleaned up considerably but still I would only walk to the Atomic during the day. Because of problems from several years past, the Atomic closes at 11pm. You have to be buzzed inside. I know it sounds like a cliché, but really this is the type of place Charles Bukowski would have hung out if he lived in Las Vegas. It's a colorful and interesting clientele to say the least.

Busch beer is $1 can and mixed drinks and shots go for $3. Don't go there to have a laugh at the expense of those less fortunate than you, but go to experience another side of Vegas different from fake volcanoes, dancing fountains, and pirate shows. Hands downs, one of the most historic, real, and unique places in Vegas. I love it.



Hmmmm, if that's the place, I think I'll stick with my fake volcanoes and dancing fountains, thank you very much. :rotfl:


Oh, and I don't want you to miss Tony and Tina's or the VooDoo lounge!! No way. I'm gonna tweak it a bit if I can and see how I can change that.
And the Olympic Garden is a strip club that has women dancing downstairs and men dancing upstairs. :banana: You can Google it, just type in Olympic Garden Las Vegas.

[mommaU4]

Okay, Ding fares just came out today for April, Phoenix to Vegas, $39!! I hope they come up for June as well. I'm going to book it now, for $59, and hopefully the Ding fares will come up later and I can change my flight. I'm looking at arriving in Vegas at 1:05pm on Sunday (share a shuttle, Theresa?) and leaving on Saturday night (leaving on Sunday the fare jumps to $111). Sound good?
Even $59 is really good, but hopefully it will go down. :wizard:
That'd be awesome if you two were on the same shuttle, but if not and you still need a ride let me know. I'll risk the airport for you. Just don't tell my mom, since I wouldn't do it for her!!! :lmao::lmao::lmao:

So is Theresa staying at the timeshare after all? I think that might be more fun, but I didn't want to say anything since I'm not staying there and have no say in the matter. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

[mommaU4]

Ok I am coming on Wednesday morning. I am not missing the strippers!!!

:cool1::banana::thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

Stacie, are you going to want groceries and liquor for the hotel? Do you want to send me a list and some money and I can make a store run for y'all? :confused3

Trust me, I'd happily pick you up and take you shopping once you get here, but after I thought about it, there is not one store just off the Strip that I'd want to shop at. :scared:
If y'all know what you want, I'd rather make the run for you and shop up where I live. :snooty: :rotfl:

Just let me know.

[mommaU4]

OK so I'm going to go play with the schedule a bit. It's so hard because not everyone is coming on the same days. If you were, that would make my life so much easier. Don't you want to make my life easier? :rolleyes1 ;)

If anyone has any ideas or just hates the whole schedule just let me know. If you have any questions please ask.

It might seem at times like we are doing a lot, especially on that first day, but some of the hotels there's not much to do there. You walk through, oooh and aaah, take a pic and move on. So unless we are all super slow walkers, it will be fine. Plus I purposely planned more for the start of the week, since everyone is excited, eager and fresh. By the end of the week everyone might be ready to just chill, or do some of their favorite things over again, kwim?

Speaking of walking, there is so much walking. And I'm not even talking about walking the Strip, sometimes it seems like miles just to get from the valet parking to the restaurant or show. So keep that in mind when packing footwear.

[jordansmomma]

I can only stay until Thursday morning. DH has a business trip leaving on Thursday and it's probably best if I'm there to take care of our son (although with his attitude right now, maybe not!!!) :rotfl2:

:cool1::banana::thumbsup2


How old is he? I just plan on leaving my kids in a closet with top ramen & bottled water & granola bars. I think they will be just fine!! :lmao:


Stacie, I can't find your address. Would you please send it again??

[Queenbillabong]

Okay, Ding fares just came out today for April, Phoenix to Vegas, $39!! I hope they come up for June as well. I'm going to book it now, for $59, and hopefully the Ding fares will come up later and I can change my flight. I'm looking at arriving in Vegas at 1:05pm on Sunday (share a shuttle, Theresa?) and leaving on Saturday night (leaving on Sunday the fare jumps to $111). Sound good?

I think it would be great to share a shuttle :thumbsup2 I know nothing about the shuttles in Las Vegas though - do we just hop on one when we get there or prebook??????

I don't know what Atomic is either. There is the Atomic Testing Museum but I don't think that's what she's referring to. LOL

Then there is the Atomic Liquor Store and Bar. I read this review on it:




Hmmmm, if that's the place, I think I'll stick with my fake volcanoes and dancing fountains, thank you very much. :rotfl:

And the Olympic Garden is a strip club that has women dancing downstairs and men dancing upstairs. :banana: You can Google it, just type in Olympic Garden Las Vegas.

If that is the Atomic, I may skip :scared: I am still somewhat of a wuss and just stepping into my wild woman shoes, so I don't want to scare myself too badly!

So is Theresa staying at the timeshare after all? I think that might be more fun, but I didn't want to say anything since I'm not staying there and have no say in the matter. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

Very subtle!!! (not like I can see what you're saying ;)) Did Stacie get confirmation regarding definitely for sure having a ground floor suite? I know that if not, Cheryl will be looking for a hotel. If she has to move to a hotel, it would be nice for someone to be at the hotel too. If we do get confirmation of a ground floor suite, then I guess I'll make the jump and stay at the time share :thumbsup2 It looks like not everyone will be there all the time. Does everyone know exactly what days they will be there????

Stacie, are you going to want groceries and liquor for the hotel? Do you want to send me a list and some money and I can make a store run for y'all? :confused3

Trust me, I'd happily pick you up and take you shopping once you get here, but after I thought about it, there is not one store just off the Strip that I'd want to shop at. :scared:
If y'all know what you want, I'd rather make the run for you and shop up where I live. :snooty: :rotfl:

Just let me know.

I think that is a GREAT idea! There are a couple of things I would like (WATER!!!), coffee, cream, breakfast stuff, etc.

It's going to be hot, right? What kind of shoes are we talking about here? I'm thinking walking sandals or flip flops??

[Queenbillabong]

How old is he? I just plan on leaving my kids in a closet with top ramen & bottled water & granola bars. I think they will be just fine!! :lmao:


Sounds like a plan :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: I'm still trying to figure out if he's actually in school at that time. The schedule I have says there are school exams the week before and provincial exams the week of. I don't believe grade 8 has provincial exams (I found this out just after Christmas. Apparently the grades that did not have provincials did not have to go to school........ :scared1: Who knew and why did they not tell me :confused3).

He's the kid that would invite everyone he knows over to the house if he had the opportunity where both DH and I were not here! Pool party :banana::banana:

[mommaU4]

How old is he? I just plan on leaving my kids in a closet with top ramen & bottled water & granola bars. I think they will be just fine!! :lmao:
Wow, you leave granola bars?? You really are a good mom. :worship:





I think that is a GREAT idea! There are a couple of things I would like (WATER!!!), coffee, cream, breakfast stuff, etc.

It's going to be hot, right? What kind of shoes are we talking about here? I'm thinking walking sandals or flip flops??YES! It will be hot. End of June should be over 100 every day. Just how far over remains to be seen. Then again, once you hit triple digits, it doesn't really matter. :rotfl:
So water is a must! And breakfast stuff would save ya'll some money in the mornings.

Any shoes are fine, most places allow pretty casual attire, unless y'all are planning on some 5 star dining. So whatever is most comfortable is what I'd bring.

You might want to bring some nicer things for the evening. Especially for the shows. Nothing fancy, but some black pants (capris, jeans, whatever) and a nice blouse would work.
Some people really dress up and you'll see some glittery evening gowns, but I never do. It's really a mix, but a t-shirt and shorts would be too casual for evening.





He's the kid that would invite everyone he knows over to the house if he had the opportunity where both DH and I were not here! Pool party :banana::banana:Well then what are you worried about? :confused3 He'll have lots of company to keep an eye on him. :thumbsup2

[wendylady36]

Will you brave the airport for me, Beth? :angel: I'm gonna try to figure out the shuttles or something, I always get lost in airports. I just follow the people off the plane and go where they go, and if it leads me to my luggage then all the better! :rotfl2:

Thanks for working on the schedule! It makes me hard not to be there all week though! Maybe I should cave in and stay all week, but I better see how my finances are closer to the trip. I'm sure I can skip a weeks pay and just hang out by the pool and see the fountains. I mean really, who needs food?

[stacielee]

Stacie, are you going to want groceries and liquor for the hotel? Do you want to send me a list and some money and I can make a store run for y'all? :confused3

Just let me know.

Yes, definitely groceries and liquor. I'm not a health nut, but I like yogurt with granola every morning; helps keep me regular! I'll bring my homemade granola and I'll try to find a store there that has the yogurt I like; what stores are you near? And water! Lots of water!! I'll probably bring coffee too, I have some Starbucks that DD boyfriend gave me for Christmas (he works at Starbucks); they're whole bean and in the freezer because he gave me ALOT! I can grind them just before coming for almost-fresh Starbucks!! YUM!! We'll definitely need flavored cream. Are you keeping track of all of this, Beth?

How old is he? I just plan on leaving my kids in a closet with top ramen & bottled water & granola bars. I think they will be just fine!! :lmao:

Stacie, I can't find your address. Would you please send it again??

Just sent it.

Not sure about the shuttle, I did look and they don't have a Super Shuttle, looks like Grey Line. Beth??

And nothing yet on the timeshare. I will call them tomorrow if I don't get an email back by then.

[stacielee]

I'm sure I can skip a weeks pay and just hang out by the pool and see the fountains. I mean really, who needs food?

Um, YES! Stay all week!!

And if you come in around 1-1:30 on Sunday, you can ride with Theresa and I.

[Queenbillabong]

If you fly in on Sunday around 1:30, you can share a shuttle with me and Stacie :woohoo: C'mon, you know you wanna!!!! You don't need to buy food - we'll have water and yogurt so you will stay hydrated and regular - it's all good :thumbsup2

Um, YES! Stay all week!!

And if you come in around 1-1:30 on Sunday, you can ride with Theresa and I.

See, great minds think alike!!!

[Queenbillabong]

Well then what are you worried about? :confused3 He'll have lots of company to keep an eye on him. :thumbsup2

I know Jesse will be fine - it's the pool I'm worried about :rolleyes1 That many kids there, you just KNOW someone is going to pee in the pool :scared1:

[mommaU4]

[mommaU4]

I mean really, who needs food?:confused3 Booze is really all you need.




Are you keeping track of all of this, Beth?

In a word, no. lol
I have a Smith's, Albertsons, Vons, Costco, Sam's Club, Whole Foods, Target and a Walmart all pretty close by. So if you all make a list and email or PM it to me, I can pick up some things for you.

As for airport transportation, I just called your resort and they suggested if there are some of you coming in at the same time, to share a taxi.
Taxi's charge the same whether it's one person or four in the car, so splitting it would be a good idea.

He said a taxi will run between $15-$20 from the airport to the resort, and take about 10-15 minutes.
A shuttle will run $7 per person, but it's not direct and depending on where else it stops along the Strip, can take up to an hour or two. (this is what he said)

There is one he recommended if you do use a shuttle, http://www.bell-trans.com/
Hope that helps some!!

Oh, and Stacie did you see this on the hotel website: Call (877) 642-5060 for special requests, such as handicap accessible suites
Maybe you can call regarding a first floor unit. But make sure they can guarantee it. Some places will put in a request but that's it.




And if you come in around 1-1:30 on Sunday, you can ride with Theresa and I.See, Wendy, that right there is worth coming in early and staying all week!!



I know Jesse will be fine - it's the pool I'm worried about :rolleyes1 That many kids there, you just KNOW someone is going to pee in the pool :scared1:
Oh right. The pool. Well, you have a point there.

[mommaU4]

I forgot to say I probably won't see you all on Saturday, the 27th. That's my 16th wedding anniversary :lovestruc and I'll need to be home with my hubby that day. ;)
But if anyone is still around on Sunday, I'll meet up with you then. If not, I'll be saying good bye after Friday night.




OK, off to do some errands.

[jordansmomma]

Sounds like a plan :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: I'm still trying to figure out if he's actually in school at that time. The schedule I have says there are school exams the week before and provincial exams the week of. I don't believe grade 8 has provincial exams (I found this out just after Christmas. Apparently the grades that did not have provincials did not have to go to school........ :scared1: Who knew and why did they not tell me :confused3).

He's the kid that would invite everyone he knows over to the house if he had the opportunity where both DH and I were not here! Pool party :banana::banana:

Kids....

I know Jesse will be fine - it's the pool I'm worried about :rolleyes1 That many kids there, you just KNOW someone is going to pee in the pool :scared1:


:scared1:


Kahunaville in TI has flare bartenders...a lotta fun...

I did not drink that all by myself I promise!!!

[Stacerita]

I love teh schedule Beth. One night didn't we want to do something like a slumber party? Maybe cook dinner at the timeshare? Just a thought.


Ok, just to prove what a complete noob I am, what is Atomic????? :confused3

Ummm, what is Olympic Garden??

Google OG. :rotfl2:

Atomic is a tattoo parlor.

Fly or drive down to Seatac and get a ding flight from Seattle to Las Vegas.

Right now on 6/24 there are $99 flights one way from Spokane to Las Vegas.





Ok I am coming on Wednesday morning. I am not missing the strippers!!!

Geesh I actually work at work yesterday and you chics are all sorts of chatty!!

Yeah, you aren't missing the strippers. Have your stripper cash ready.

Stacie, are you going to want groceries and liquor for the hotel? Do you want to send me a list and some money and I can make a store run for y'all? :confused3

Trust me, I'd happily pick you up and take you shopping once you get here, but after I thought about it, there is not one store just off the Strip that I'd want to shop at. :scared:
If y'all know what you want, I'd rather make the run for you and shop up where I live. :snooty: :rotfl:

Just let me know.

Also, I will have my car when I get there on Monday. So we can wait till then to grocery shop.

Will you brave the airport for me, Beth? :angel: I'm gonna try to figure out the shuttles or something, I always get lost in airports. I just follow the people off the plane and go where they go, and if it leads me to my luggage then all the better! :rotfl2:

Thanks for working on the schedule! It makes me hard not to be there all week though! Maybe I should cave in and stay all week, but I better see how my finances are closer to the trip. I'm sure I can skip a weeks pay and just hang out by the pool and see the fountains. I mean really, who needs food?


Stay all week. You know you want to.

Yes, definitely groceries and liquor. I'm not a health nut, but I like yogurt with granola every morning; helps keep me regular! I'll bring my homemade granola and I'll try to find a store there that has the yogurt I like; what stores are you near? And water! Lots of water!! I'll probably bring coffee too, I have some Starbucks that DD boyfriend gave me for Christmas (he works at Starbucks); they're whole bean and in the freezer because he gave me ALOT! I can grind them just before coming for almost-fresh Starbucks!! YUM!! We'll definitely need flavored cream. Are you keeping track of all of this, Beth?



Just sent it.



Not sure about the shuttle, I did look and they don't have a Super Shuttle, looks like Grey Line. Beth??

And nothing yet on the timeshare. I will call them tomorrow if I don't get an email back by then.

:rotfl2:

[wendylady36]

That's what they all say!

Oooh, speaking of liquor (cough, cough) - would someone be able to pick up some bottles of Rosa Regale?? Cheryl says they are available at Costco. I don't know if that's all Costcos or just the one by her house......

This wine is supposed to be like the Magicale (same grapes - Brachetto) that we had, Deb!!!! I would LOVE :lovestruc to be able to bring a couple of bottles home (I think I'm allowed to bring two) and if someone could pick them up, I would buy some to share too...........

I love the schedule Beth. One night didn't we want to do something like a slumber party? Maybe cook dinner at the timeshare? Just a thought.

Oh crud. That's right, and I also forgot about your Lucky Cheng's place. Actually I didn't forget that one, I couldn't find any info on it. Do you have a link? Is it open on Saturdays? If so, we can add it to that day since there are no plans so far. Maybe that can be lunch? :confused3

As for the slumber party, what about doing that on Friday night? We can eat an early dinner at Toby Kieth's as planned, check out the dueling pianos real quick, and then maybe grab some yummy Ghirardelli's ice cream topping (since it's right there at Harrah's) and take that back to make sundaes?

I can pick up the ice cream, and other sundae toppings when I make my grocery run. Let me know what ya'll wanna do. I am but your humble servant.

:rotfl:





What, we can't crash your anniversary? We can take you two to a strip club. :thumbsup2 ;) :rotfl2:Oh yeah, Ruben would love that. :rotfl2: Actually he probably would if we went to OG and left him downstairs. :lmao:




http://www.onlinebitsnbobs.co.uk/images/thumb_3067_image1_pink-handcuffs.jpgI wondered where those went. Spent forever looking for them last Saturday! What else did you take from me?? :mad:

Exactly. ;)




Oooh, speaking of liquor (cough, cough) - would someone be able to pick up some bottles of Rosa Regale?? Cheryl says they are available at Costco. I don't know if that's all Costcos or just the one by her house......

Like I said, send me the list and the cash and I can get you whatever you need babe. :smokin:

[Queenbillabong]

Sorry, but I don't have a Costco membership.

Cheryl said it was at liquor stores and in Costco. I think she buys it - so she would know where to pick some up. Hopefully when she gets back from WDW she can help me out with where to get it........ It may be available in Las Vegas (it's not in BC - in Newfoundland and Manitoba, yes..... BC, no :confused3)

[Queenbillabong]

Like I said, send me the list and the cash and I can get you whatever you need babe. :smokin:

I know that not everyone is gonna be up for it, so its cool if we don't. I just tossed it out there. Heck, after the nakie massage place, I don't think anyone will allow me to suggest anything again. :rotfl2: http://www.luckychengsrestaurant.com/lucky_chengs_vegas_show.html

Ok so I am probably going to have the scope done on my knee in the end of May or beginning of June...

So I might be able to come even earlier. Without having to use my vacay time...I am so sneaky...I told ya I had to do some fancy schamncy scheduling!!

I will have my stripper cash handy!!


Really I didn't drink that whole thing myself....have you seen the size of the glass???

[Queenbillabong]

Doh - I just realized I made a mistake with my dates!!! I thought I would be coming back on Thursday, but Frank is actually leaving on Thursday!!! My flight will be leaving on Wednesday at 2 p.m. now :sad2: I will have to be at the airport by noon...... I'm hoping to still be able to go to the Venetian (how long will that take and how long to the airport????). That means I won't be able to go to Thunder :sad2:.... unless I can beg my sister to take Jesse on Thursday

[mommaU4]

So you are like our dealer in a way?
Better your dealer then your pimp. :rotfl2:

Thanks for the link. That place sounds like a hoot. I'd be up for it on Saturday. Maybe we can put it down as a suggestion for lunch.
And I'll add the slumber party to Friday night.

Oh no!! No, no!! That is unacceptable!

Beg your sister.
Tell her we are begging her.
Tell her you will bring her something fabulous from Vegas.
Maybe one of the men from Thunder will suffice? Does she like blonds or brunettes?

[stacielee]

So you are like our dealer in a way?

I will check around.

:rotfl2:

Of course she's our dealer, bring on the cards! Oh wait, not that kind of dealer, right?

Did any of you see the quote on the Lucky Cheng's website: A Virtual Bachelorette Party Disney Land.

[Stacerita]

Ummm, I might have missed that. Do tell. ;)

Ok, so the story goes that on Friday night, Paul, Cesar and I decided to head back to the hotel, while Nikki and Camille were gonna go meet up with a friend of Camille at the Belagio. Camille is a glamazon and dressed up, while Nikki was wearing jeans, tshirt and sneakers. So when the got to the club doors, they said it was like Hollywood with the guy out there picking who was good enough to enter.

Camille was dressed up, Nikki was dressed butch. Important to remember. So Nik decided not to go, and kept pushing Camille to go up to the front. She kept looking back asking if she was sure. And then she ran back and gave Nik some money she was holding for her. But Nik kept pushing Camille up there. Telling her, don't let those girls get in front of you. The whole thing made it look like Nikki was the pimp and Camille was her "girl".

It was hysterical. Not sure if it translates in this post, but it was pretty darn funny.

You and your honey, and your brother and his friends should all come out here in October for the Halloween Fetish and Fantasy Ball. http://www.halloweenball.com/event09.shtml

I've been avoiding work all day - just not that into it :sad2: That's not good - it's how I pay for trips, right??? The good thing about working from home is I can work whenever I want, even in my jammies. The bad thing is I can ditch work REALLY easily whenever I want :scared1:

Ive been avoiding work today too. And I am here. Yikes. Its been a rough week. Major budget cuts meaning I am having to cut everyone one day per month till the end of fiscal year. Its rough. But better than the alternative.

[Stacerita]

I was doing more looking around Vegas sites and I came up with a list of other things that we might like to think about......

Hoover Dam? I have never been and have always wanted to go? Would anyone be interested in it?

Planetarium and Observatory? Yeah, I'm a geek.

Area 51? Total geek I guess.

I also didn't see on Beth's schedule the Bellagio fountatins (I have never got to see a whole show before) or Sirens (not sure if its good still).

One thing we should make plans for, and we should do it on the day when the most of us will be there is take pics infront of the "Welcome to Vegas" sign.

Now on to "different" shopping. I was checking out a lot of odd places to shop and I have a list that I think would be fun to check out.....

Viva Hollywood
Rainbow Feather Company
Refinery Celebrity Resale Boutique
Strings by Judith
The Attic
Psychic Eye Book Shop

Let me know what you guys think.

The good thing about working from home is I can work whenever I want, even in my jammies. The bad thing is I can ditch work REALLY easily whenever I want :scared1:Theresa, what is it you do again? If you'd rather not say, I understand. I'm just looking for work from home options so I thought I'd ask.




OKay this is an updated schedule. Again, it's challenging since not everyone is here at the same time, so I can't make it all work perfect, but I think this is close. Let me know what you think.

Saturday June 27
I don't really have anything planned for this day.
I figured maybe just play it by ear, see what's left to do that hasn't been done. Or do some things again.
Maybe Lucky Cheng's? Or drive out to Area 51?
Also a good thing to do is check Tickets2Nite and see what cheap shows they might have offered for the evening. There are some afternoon shows as well.




Sunday June 28
Not sure if anyone will still be here this day or if everyone is leaving some time on Saturday.
For anyone still here, we can meet for breakfast or lunch. I'll leave it open.

I was doing more looking around Vegas sites and I came up with a list of other things that we might like to think about......

Hoover Dam? I have never been and have always wanted to go? Would anyone be interested in it?
The Dam is about a 30-40 minute drive from the Strip. It's kind of neat. I've been before, back when you could take tours down into the actual dam. Now, it's just sort of blah because with the new security rules in place, all you can do it walk over it.
But if you've never been, it might be worth checking out. I added that as a possibility for Thursday since that day really didn't have much during the day.


Planetarium and Observatory? Yeah, I'm a geek.

Yeah, you are. :rolleyes1 :lmao: Just kidding! But you lost me on that one. I didn't even know there was one. I added it to Friday as an option since that day also didn't have any specific plans yet.

Area 51? Total geek I guess.

Now that I might do, but it's so far (about an hour and a half), and I've already had my fill of empty desert. :rotfl: But if you are into that, it could be fun. Check out the Little A’Le’Inn http://www.littlealeinn.com/ I think that might be a good Saturday option since the Strip will be busy on the weekend and it might be nice to escape.

I also didn't see on Beth's schedule the Bellagio fountatins (I have never got to see a whole show before) or Sirens (not sure if its good still).

I had the fountains written down on my paper, but forgot to type it in. It's there now after shopping at the Forum shops. Also the pirate show is already on there after Love since it's right next door. :thumbsup2

One thing we should make plans for, and we should do it on the day when the most of us will be there is take pics infront of the "Welcome to Vegas" sign.

This is a must!! I was trying to think of a time, but now that Debra is coming in on Wednesday, that would be the one and only overlapping day. So depending on whether or not Amy or Jane want to join us, we can either do it Wed night or Wed morning before the Venetian. :yay:

Now on to "different" shopping. I was checking out a lot of odd places to shop and I have a list that I think would be fun to check out.....

Viva Hollywood
Rainbow Feather Company
Refinery Celebrity Resale Boutique
Strings by Judith
The Attic
Psychic Eye Book Shop

Let me know what you guys think.
I don't think I've ever heard of any of those. :lmao: I can take you to the Deja Vu Love Boutique, or the Adult Super Store. :rotfl:

[Stacerita]

Theresa, what is it you do again? If you'd rather not say, I understand. I'm just looking for work from home options so I thought I'd ask.


You are in Vegas. I think there are some "work from home (ie bed) type jobs out there. No?




I don't think I've ever heard of any of those. :lmao: I can take you to the Deja Vu Love Boutique, or the Adult Super Store. :rotfl:

Yes, we can go to those stores as well.

The other stores I had listed were
Viva Hollywood - has old hollywood pieces, props and such
Rainbow Feather - has showgirl headpieces and boas
Refinery Celebrity Resale Boutique - Goodwill from the stars. They sell stuff worn by or owned by starts.
Strings by Judith - Showgirl/dance wear.
The Attic - vintage clothing
Psychic Eye Book Shop - cool place to find talsmans and other stuff like that.

[Stacerita]

And yeah, I am total geek. Its funny though.....I am total geek, and DBF is total Harley Guy.:confused3

[Stacerita]

Oh, and I am fine with skipping the Dam. Just tossed it out there since I hadn't been. I can go next time I am out there with DBF.

The showgirl store! :banana: :rotfl:
The Psychic Eye Book Shop sounds so familiar. I wonder if I've passed that before. I'll have to Google it to see where it is.

Well, the Dam is neat. I just wish you could get the full experience like before. But just to walk over it is impressive. If others are interested, then you should go for it. There is time during those last few days, to add things since they weren't as full as the beginning. I'll keep it in there as an option along with the other things I added. :thumbsup2

[Stacerita]

This will be us taking our pic in front of the vegas sign. First we have to stop by the showgirl store and pic out our outfits.

Sometimes they have discounted tickets to that and the Titanic exhibit at either Tickets2Nite or Tickets4Tonight. So if you are interested in that, check there first. :thumbsup2

Another place I like to check it goldstar.com They usually have half price tickets for lots of things.

[jordansmomma]

Is everyone WORKING today - or just have a life????? :confused3 Geez, what's a girl to do?

I was somewhat working today....

[mommaU4]

Cool, half price tickets are always good. Too bad they don't have them for Love or KA. lol

I Googled that Psychic Eye Book store and sure enough it's on Charleston. I pass by it all the time when I drive Ruben to work. He works at UMC which is on Charleston. I knew it looked familiar.

[mommaU4]

I'm not sure what we are going to do today, but if we end up down on the Strip I want to try and swing by the timeshare and take some pics of the outside.

[Stacerita]

Cool deal! I was gonna do that last week, but never got around to it.


I also just for a whim, checked out flights for me in case I didn't want to drive. Way too much I think. $150+ for decent times to fly. Nah, cheaper to drive.

Well - OK, but I'm going to need a LOT of PhotoShop editing :scared:

Anybody up to seeing the "Bodies" exhibit?

That's the one where they use real dead bodies, right? They had that here at Science World. I remember talking with some people who went and they were giggling over the man bits.

I was somewhat working today....

Yay for somewhat working :thumbsup2 I need a break now though, phew!

I'm not sure what we are going to do today, but if we end up down on the Strip I want to try and swing by the timeshare and take some pics of the outside.


Great idea! Do we know yet if Stacie has confirmation that we can definitely for sure have a first floor room?

[Stacerita]

Well - OK, but I'm going to need a LOT of PhotoShop editing :scared:

We all might need some. Especially to look good in those outfits. Heck, I don't want to see whats gonna bulge out of mine :scared:

WHo doesn't giggle over man bits :rotfl:

But yeah, its real dead bodies that go through some sort of plastinization (sp) and are sliced so you can see the entire body. I think its pretty facinating.

[mommaU4]

Do we know yet if Stacie has confirmation that we can definitely for sure have a first floor room?

I don't know. She emailed them so they should have received it. :confused3
I tried to call the "customer care" number listed on the website. It said to call if you have special needs/requests, so I was just going to ask if you can request AND be guaranteed a first floor room.
I got a recording that said the wait time to speak to anyone was 18 minutes! :eek: I don't have that long to sit and wait right now as I just hopped back online to print out some directions.
So hopefully she'll hear something soon.

I am such a slacker! I'm sometimes more of a lurker than a poster :cool2:

Anyways, I did get an email reply, and I'm also going to call them just to confirm that it's not just a request, that it's guaranteed. I'll post once I get around to doing that.

I'm just sitting here doing not much of anything today. Not that there's not stuff to do, seems like different parts of the house ALWAYS need to be cleaned! Why is that?!? If everyone picked up after themselves, it would just make things so much easier!!

And I may have another friend coming, trying to talk her into it. We may end up having to get a 2nd timeshare, then I'll call them again and try to make sure they'll be next to or close to each other, if possible.

Hope you all have a great day, this should help:

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will guarantee it.

So I was there today, at the resort! :yay: We drove down there to check it out. I couldn't drive around like I wanted and take pics though because there was a security guard there and he wouldn't let us. :rolleyes: We has to drive in and turn around.

At least it's well guarded. We just saw a little bit of it. They are definitely doing some major remodeling. Lots of construction stuff everywhere. Makes it look a little run down, you know how it is during remodeling. But maybe it will be done soon, and I'm sure it's going to look great!

Koval Lane, where it's located, is a busy, busy street. At least it was today. And not nice at all. So no one out walking. Take a taxi or the shuttle, which we saw driving down the Strip.

I did take a few pics of what you see from the resort looking toward the Strip, and I'll post those later.

The Strip was sooooooooo busy today. OMG, it's going to be packed in June. And HOT!!! :scared1:
But you know what? I don't care. It will still be so much fun. :dance3:

[mommaU4]

I just thought of something.

On Thursday if ya'll decide not to do Hoover Dam, or on Friday if you don't do the Planetarium, what about hitting the outlet center? That's where Amy, Jane and I usually meet. At the Disney outlet. http://www.vegas.com/shopping/lasvegasoutlet.html

Then from there we go to Town Square for lunch. http://www.townsquarelasvegas.com/
They have a Tommy Bahama’s Tropical Café, a Claim Jumper, and a California Pizza Kitchen. And more shops, like Express, Gap, Gymboree, Bath and Body, etc.

Just another thought for some of those free days later in the week. :)

[Stacerita]

Hope you all have a great day, this should help:

:woohoo:

[mommaU4]

We went back down to the Strip tonight for the Earth Hour. It was so weird to see the hotels and casinos with their lights off. Neat though.
It was still packed down there. It took us over 35 minutes to drive from Treasure Island to the Bellagio. :scared:

[jordansmomma]

Ok. I am getting my check off to Stacie in the morning. I am such a slacker.
Ok really I am just lazy & I need to find my check book, I never write checks.

I found $99 airfare one way. But hopefully I will get something better.
If I do end up scheduling my surgery at the begining of June. I will be there the entire time. :woohoo:

I hope you girls are having a great day!

These are the pics I took yesterday. It's basically the view of what is across the street from the timeshare. And on the side of the timeshare is an empty lot with tons of construction equipment.

HEY!! Guess what?? I forgot to say that last night when we were driving on the Strip, we saw that they are opening a Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace! :banana:
It's not actually in Caesars, but on the property in a separate building. They have one in New York City and I first heard about it on Oprah when she was raving about their Frozen Hot Chocolate dessert.

I think it's set to open sometime in April, so we can all go there in June!! Probably on the day we hit the Forum shops since it's right there. :thumbsup2 (we can eat there for lunch instead of the Cheesecake Factory if y'all want)

Here is a link to their website for the NY restaurant: http://www.serendipity3.com/food.htm

Oh my - that's where they have that $1,000 sundae!!!!!

[mommaU4]

Oh my - that's where they have that $1,000 sundae!!!!!
Wanna split one with me? :confused3




I've been reading their menu. It's a bit pricey, but it all sounds so dang good!!! I think we could split some meals (or just get appetizers) and share some of the desserts. Not the $1,000 sundae though. LOL!! The Peanut Butter Frrrozen Hot Chocolate sounds like heaven in a dish! Mmmmmm.








ETA: This is what you get for $1,000:
Made with "5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela's coast.
The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.
The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel."

If I do end up scheduling my surgery at the begining of June. I will be there the entire time. :woohoo:

I hope you girls are having a great day!I really want you to be here the whole time!! :yay::yay::yay: I was just thinking about your surgery though.......will you feel up to walking all over by then? :confused3

We can use taxis, shuttles, the monorail, etc. but sometimes just walking through the hotels can seem to take forever. We don't want you in any pain!
Although there will be plenty of bars around to help numb any pain should it arise. :rotfl2:

[Queenbillabong]

Wanna split one with me? :confused3

That would blow my budget for the week - and I don't think I want to do that with caviar - blech!! (It all sounds good otherwise, just not into caviar!).

However, I did spy in your photo with the bus a sign that advertised $1 margaritas!!! Aye caramba - we could get 1,000 of those for the same price :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I think I should be ok. I am hopefully going to have it the first wk or 2 so then I will be good to go by the time head for Vegas.

Well, I think we should go to Serendipity since it's something new and as far as I know they only have them on the East coast.
As for the Cheesecake Factory, don't despair! There is one only a few blocks from Disneyland and we already talked about adding a dinner or lunch there to our next DL trip, so you'll get to do both!! :banana:

As for Lucky Cheng's.......well shoot, I think you just need to find a way to stay the whole time like Debbie. :rolleyes1

Not sure where we are staying. DBF is making the arrangements. We are gonna visit with his kids when we go up there. So we are taking that into consideration. We want somewhere that has a decent pool, enough non adult activities, but not totally "kiddie" like Circus Circus. And we want it cheap. Looking online there were some that were really cheap, and ones that were get the third night free. But he hasn't decided yet.

Flamingo has a fun pool. It's a big area (about 15 acres) with water slides, grottos, waterfalls, and such. Not sure what the rooms are like but the grounds are nice, and there is the wildlife habitat for the kids, and Margaritaville for you.
I don't know if they have any specials but it might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the tip. We are also waiting on seeing if the kids will be on break that week or not. But the kids mom is nice about letting us see the kids when we can. She's accomodating. So at least that is a good thing.

[Zoemakes5]

I've been lurking but not posting a whole lot on this thread. I'm working hard to be able to come, so I don't want to put my two cents in until I'm more certain whether I can make it.
It all sounds so fun and exciting, though. I'm heading out on Tuesday-Sat. in Vegas w/DH and am so excited to be getting away! Whoo hoo! And, it's supposed to be nice and warm, so that's always a bonus.
I was going to suggest Flamingo, too, Stacie. There's always been a number of kids at Tropicana pool when I've been there. Otherwise, some of the off strip hotels, like the Orleans, have movie theatres, bowling alleys and other stuff, so that might be an option, too. And they do tend to be lots cheaper.

Actually, the Orleans is one of the hotels he is looking at. Very cheap, some of its been redone, the bowling alley is a plus, and the pool looks nice. I am leaving it up to him. He seems to like making the plans lately. It won't matter where we stay though. We get to visit his kids, and enjoy Vegas together. This will be the first time him and I go together. We have done day trips to pick up or drop off the kids, but haven't stayed and played in Vegas. It will be fun.

I have a question :hyper: For activities that we won't be participating in (massage, Stripper 101) - what do we do?? Are there things nearby that we can just go and then meet up? Am I the only one who won't be doing those? Remember, be kind - this is my first Vegas trip!!


EDIT - Hey, I'm getting Canadian ads down there now!

Gamble, baby!! I'll do the massage, but not the 101 thing, and probably not OG. I told my DH last night that he better give me a gambling limit because I tend to not want to stop!!:scared1:

[Queenbillabong]

Ooh, interesting news from DH just now!!! He decided to change his conference location (there are several to choose from) and now he's going to LA instead of Toronto. The good thing is that the dates are also different - so now he will not be going until July 9 :woohoo: This means I can stay for longer (shhhhh, I have not exactly told HIM that yet though). Woo hoo :banana::banana::banana:

I won't be doing the massage, so if you want to hang out while they do that, we can. :thumbsup2

But please, please, please do the Stripper 101 class!! PLEASE! I think it will only be fun with a large group. It's nothing bad, you don't get naked or anything. LOL You can wear sweats and a t-shirt. That's what I'm wearing. It's just silly fun.

Don't make me beg. I don't want to beg. But I will, if I have to. Pleeeeeeeease!!! Pretty, pretty, pretty please!!! :flower3::flower3::flower3::flower3:




I'll do the massage, but not the 101 thing, and probably not OG. I can totally respect you not doing the OG. It's not for everyone to sit and watch half naked men dancing right in front of you.

But the 101 class is just us girls. Being silly and having some fun. Do I have to beg you too?!?!?!

The good thing is that the dates are also different - so now he will not be going until July 9 :woohoo: This means I can stay for longer (shhhhh, I have not exactly told HIM that yet though). Woo hoo :banana::banana::banana:

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I am with Beth PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!!!
Do the Stripper 101 class!!!!

[mommaU4]

Question about the shows - how are we doing that? Do we purchase tickets when we are there or some time beforehand??For Love, I'd recommend purchasing them ahead of time to get the better seats.
For others, like Tony and Tina's you can wait until you get here. They might even have them discounted at the Tickets2Nite or Tix4Tonight booths on the Strip.




I am with Beth PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!!!

See!? We all want you and Stacie to join us!!!

[Stacerita]

Well, that's nice isn't it?

I'm glad you'll have some play time together. :goodvibes

It is nice. I like being surprised with stuff like that. But on the other hand, I like to plan and be in charge as well. But its good that he wants to do that.

I have a question :hyper: For activities that we won't be participating in (massage, Stripper 101) - what do we do?? Are there things nearby that we can just go and then meet up? Am I the only one who won't be doing those? Remember, be kind - this is my first Vegas trip!!


EDIT - Hey, I'm getting Canadian ads down there now!

Stripper 101 will be a lot of fun. Its silly fun, nothing too crazy. You keep your clothes on. And they serve drinks.

There is always gambling to do and shopping. Plus lots of places have lounge shows and such to keep people entertained. And if nothing else, grab a drink and watch people.

Gamble, baby!! I'll do the massage, but not the 101 thing, and probably not OG. I told my DH last night that he better give me a gambling limit because I tend to not want to stop!!

OG is not for everyone. I will admit to that. But the 101 class is gonna be fun. Think of it more like a work out.

See you (and Amy and Jane) on Friday! :cool1:



I won't be doing the massage, so if you want to hang out while they do that, we can. :thumbsup2

But please, please, please do the Stripper 101 class!! PLEASE! I think it will only be fun with a large group. It's nothing bad, you don't get naked or anything. LOL You can wear sweats and a t-shirt. That's what I'm wearing. It's just silly fun.

Don't make me beg. I don't want to beg. But I will, if I have to. Pleeeeeeeease!!! Pretty, pretty, pretty please!!! :flower3::flower3::flower3::flower3:




I can totally respect you not doing the OG. It's not for everyone to sit and watch half naked men dancing right in front of you.

But the 101 class is just us girls. Being silly and having some fun. Do I have to beg you too?!?!?!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! :flower3::flower3::flower3::flower3:




:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1: That is awesome news!!

I think you begged just fine.

[jordansmomma]

Yes, let's hang out while the others get their nekkid massages :scared1: I have never really liked massages (I am a wimp, but every time I have had one, I was in pain).

I am caving a little on the Stripper 101 thing - they do serve drinks, right??? I won't wear high heels for anyone though - that is just an accident waiting to happen!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[mommaU4]

Yes, let's hang out while the others get their nekkid massages :scared1: I have never really liked massages (I am a wimp, but every time I have had one, I was in pain).

Ruben's always trying to convince me to get a massage and I just can't get over the thought of some stranger rubbing me down. :eek:
Everyone I know swears by them, but I just can't do it. So we can hang out and find some trouble to get into. lol


I am caving a little on the Stripper 101 thing - they do serve drinks, right??? I won't wear high heels for anyone though - that is just an accident waiting to happen!

YES!! Cave, cave, cave!! :yay::yay::yay: You don't have to wear high heels. Tell them you forgot them at home. ;)

YAY!!! OK, you said yes, can't change your mind now.

I found this review and description of the Stripper 101 class.
http://www.las-vegas-shows-reviews.com/stripper-101-saucy-sexy-sin-city-fun/2008/07/04/

It sounds so fun! And if anyone gets cold feet, they can sit on the benches and watch. I'll be skipping the heels and skimpy clothing though. I found some other pics of the class where they were wearing tanks and sweats that were capri length, so I bought some black ones from Kohls similar to the ones on this page: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/womens/athleticapparel/bottoms/shortscapris.jsp?ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3ENe=&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3ENo=0&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3ENs=p_Product_Total_Invent ory|1&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3ENtt=&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3Erecs=46&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3EN=4294871088&ENDECA_SEARCH_INPUT%3C%3Etype=2&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374754457954&bmForm=guided_nav_search&bmFormID=1238541867716&bmUID=1238541867716

You can see in the pics why we need a large group. So that we make up the whole class! We don't want any skinny Victoria's Secret models in the class with us. :snooty: :rotfl2:

We can either get one of those "quizzes" that tell us our stripper name, or we can use the formula to get it. Because we can't all be "Candy" who is stripping to get her PHD you know.

Put in your first name & middle name.
Maybe you will get a better name.
I like Felony. I think we should all call her that from now on. ;)

I did :rolleyes:

Someone, I think Theresa, mentioned that out of the dinner choices at the Mirage they'd like to do the Carnegie Deli. I just wanted to point out that this picture from the front page is one I took from there of some of the desserts they have. :thumbsup2

I am fine with that. I dont' remember what the other choices were though. But if I can't remember, then it wasn't that important. I am fine with the deli.

Gee, thanks :upsidedow

They are listed on the schedule on the front page missy, try to keep up! :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

There is a California Pizza Kitchen, which is good and one of my favorites, but nothing unique. I mean, you have one near you I'm sure so that's probably not our best choice.

And then there was BLT Burger which is fairly new and supposed to be really good. They have locations in Vegas and in NYC. They have Kobe burgers, lamb burgers, salmon burgers, etc. and for sides they have things like fried pickles, and 8 different types of fries.

They have the classic milkshake flavors, as well as ones made with Twinkies and one called The Lunch Box made with peanut butter and jelly. Some of their milkshakes are spiked.
Here is their menu: http://www.bltburger.com/PDF/eatin-vegas.pdf


The other option was the Carnegie Deli, where that pic is from. I've heard good things about their food, but so-so on their service. They offer breakfast served all day, and all different kinds of sandwiches, which are supposed to be huge and good. Here is their menu: http://www.mirage.com/files/carnegie_menu.pdf

I've never been to either one, so I can't recommend one over the other. I am open to trying them both, so it doesn't matter to me where we go. They are almost right across from each other in the Mirage so I'll leave it up to y'all. :thumbsup2






I agree!!!!!:thumbsup2

Spiked milkshakes and fried pickles, you say?? OK - can I change my mind and vote for BLT Burger instead :confused3

I don't think I want anything like a fried pickle. :scared:

It's fine by me if you want to switch. Both are supposed to be very good, so I doubt we'd go wrong with either one. Both are probably about the same price range (meaning over priced! LOL). They are both in the Mirage, a few steps away from each other. So we can always play it by ear and see what we feel like eating when we get there, or which one is less crowded or whatever.
I'm easy! :thumbsup2

I've never tried fried pickles before, but I saw them on a Food Network show (I think Diners Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri). Could be yummy :thumbsup2

Might not want to say that too loud!!!!

[mommaU4]

I don't think I want anything like a fried pickle. :scared:OK, but when we go to Fremont Street you all have to try a deep fried Twinkie and Oreo. It's a must, even if only a bite. :thumbsup2



Ive heard that before. :rotfl2:
Dang it! Who told?? :mad:





Might not want to say that too loud!!!!Doesn't matter. Apparently someone already told on me. :sad2:

I will still pass.

I do love me a deep fried oreo though. Had those at the fair and they were bomb-diggity.
