*Old* Girls only Vegas thread. See new link in first post. Thanks!

Well, I called about the tour and it's running every night including Fridays. That is recent though. They USED to be dark on Fridays, so perhaps some websites have not updated their info yet.

Also Chippendale's runs nightly as well. Some nights they have one show and some nights two shows, but they are never dark according to the Vegas.com and Rio/Chippendale websites.

So we are good to keep things the way they are if you like.

OR

If you prefer to do the Haunted Tour on another night so the slumber party doesn't start so late, I can still tweak the schedule. Let me know please.

Or do you think it may be that the reduced cost tickets are dark on specific (traditionally busier??) days?

 

[mommaU4]

Since everyone else is packing for Disney except me I went ahead and did a sample schedule change. Let me know if this works better for you. I'm working hard to make sure it all flows so we don't do a lot of Strip hopping which can be tiresome and expensive.
The changes are in red. Nothing was taken out, just rearranged to fit better.

Even though I'm not doing the Haunted Tour, I think it should be another night instead of Friday, just because of how late it goes. JMHO!

 

[mommaU4]

Or do you think it may be that the reduced cost tickets are dark on specific (traditionally busier??) days?

Well, I suppose it's possible, but the lady I spoke with at the tour said it's a recent change, so I'm thinking it might be they just haven't updated their info yet.

The radio show goes by what the company tells them, so if no one from the tour has called the show to update their info, then that could be one explanation.

In any case, I went ahead and tweaked the schedule just in case, changing the tour date and the Chippendale night. I personally think it flows better now as this way we won't be rushing off to Chippendale's after working out during the Stripper class.

And I was able to add Rub BBQ which I know we all like BBQ and they used to be on the radio show at a discounted price.

BUT I don't want anyone to think I'm being pushy or telling y'all what to do. I'm just trying to help and make it easier on everyone else so you can just show up and have fun.
If I've overstepped my bounds, or made changes you all hate, please tell me. Nothing is set in stone.

 

[mommaU4]

Even though I'm not doing the Haunted Tour, I think it should be another night instead of Friday, just because of how late it goes. JMHO!

I changed it, what do you think?
I thought that being at Fremont street, which is pretty laid back, and then having some fun at OG would be a nice lead into the slumber party. Whatchya think everyone?

AND with OG it's not a show or anything so you come and go as you please meaning we can set our own times so it's not too late of an evening.

 

[Queenbillabong]

Since everyone else is packing for Disney except me

I'm not packing for anywhere Very sad!!

But the schedule looks great! The only thing is I think we were going to do brunch on Saturday at either the Rio or Planet Hollywood.....

Even though I'm not doing the Haunted Tour, I think it should be another night instead of Friday, just because of how late it goes. JMHO!

Good idea

 

[Queenbillabong]

And I was able to add Rub BBQ which I know we all like BBQ and they used to be on the radio show at a discounted price.

I looked on the menu and they have deep fried Oreos for dessert Hmmmm, that might be good.............

 

[Stacerita]

Jane & Amy, if one of you have an extra air mattress or aero bed, we may need it for everyone to be able to sleep over. But other than that, we should be fine!! Just remember, no nudie sleeping!!!

And I think we should leave Friday night open so we have more time for our slumber party! And no freezing bras either!!

What??????

Looks great to me. I actually think I like the additons/changes better now. THanks!

 

[stacielee]

The schedule looks great! Right now, my plans are to leave Saturday night, my plane leaves at 8:30pm so I'll need to get to the airport around 7-7:30pm, probably closer to 7. But if a Ding fare comes up, I can change it to Sunday. Theresa, what did you decide to do???

 

[mommaU4]

I'm not packing for anywhere Very sad!!

But the schedule looks great! The only thing is I think we were going to do brunch on Saturday at either the Rio or Planet Hollywood.....

It is sad!

OK, so I'll change lunch to say brunch.

I looked on the menu and they have deep fried Oreos for dessert Hmmmm, that might be good.............

I love Oreos. LOVE THEM. In any shape or form.

Looks great to me. I actually think I like the additons/changes better now. THanks!

Whew! OK, good. I kind of did too, but you know me, I just want what will work for everyone.

Oh, and Stacie, Rub BBQ is the place that had that cool motorcycle that you took pics of.

OK, good. I'm glad everyone is ok with it.

If you guys change till Sunday that would be awesome! I won't see y'all on Saturday, but on Sunday I'd love to meet up for breakfast or brunch before everyone leaves.

 

[mommaU4]

I'm going to go ahead and update the schedule on the front page then to reflect the changes. If anyone thinks of anything to add or change, let me know, but for now I think it flows nicely. (fingers crossed it all works as well in real life as it does on paper!)

 

[Stacerita]

It is sad!

OK, so I'll change lunch to say brunch.




I love Oreos. LOVE THEM. In any shape or form.

You should get the one that James and I shared. It was an oreo on a stick, dipped in caramel, dipped in milk chocolate, then rolled in coconut. We split it after the kids went to bed. We didn't want to share.


Whew! OK, good. I kind of did too, but you know me, I just want what will work for everyone.

Oh, and Stacie, Rub BBQ is the place that had that cool motorcycle that you took pics of.

I love me some BBQ so its all good.

I'm going to switch to leaving Sunday, but my flight will be at around 2:00 p.m., so I'll have to get there by noon. There are no good deals flying from Vancouver, so I just have to suck it up, buttercup!!!

OK, good. I'm glad everyone is ok with it.

If you guys change till Sunday that would be awesome! I won't see y'all on Saturday, but on Sunday I'd love to meet up for breakfast or brunch before everyone leaves.

Sounds good to me!

Mmmmmm, BBQ!

YAY!!! So Sunday breakfast it is! Since we'll be eating breakfast in the other days, it will be nice to do one breakfast out as a group.
Restaurant or buffet? Paris has a good breakfast buffet, but Peppermill is known for their huge, yummy omelets. Just throwing out ideas!!
