Our girlie summer Vegas get-away (over and done with)

[mommaU4]

Maybe she wants to meet me face to face first before committing

Probably a good idea for both of you. Don't want any surprises like we had with Wendall.

JK of course, but we are different in Sin City than we are at the Mouse House aren't we?

Huh? I am a good sweet quiet girl at both places. Aren't you??


Sooooo what'dya talk about?? Huh? Huh? Huh? Are ya gonna book Mirage?

I have a very sarcastic side that comes out when I get to know people.

I am shocked. Really. I cannot even imagine having a secret sarcastic side that only comes out when you get to know people well....... Tsk. Tsk.

 

[mommaU4]

Kokomo's was really good but way over priced!!

If anyone isn't into Kokomos, please come and eat with me at BLT Burger or CPK. I need company while I dine cheap.

OK - but you and Beth have to sneak me some fried pickles, 'K????

Well Angie, I have met you and can attest that you are cute as a button and sweet as can be, but you may have to work on bringing out your "wild woman" from within! JK of course, but we are different in Sin City than we are at the Mouse House aren't we?

Okay, I think i woke up in a little less fog. The co-workers say i look better, and Gary says i am not going straight to bed tonight i have to get out and go to the shop. (he's worried i am getting too depressed). Soooooooo anyway, all i have to say is........no one gets to go to Vegas and not be a wild woman, that's an order and no sleeping

I am all for dressing up and fancy dinner, so i'll say yes for now, but i may have to be watching my money, that's a few months away. By then I will probably be 1/3 partner at the tatt shop. Yes, I am buying in once i clear my head and get my finances straight. Who would have ever thought in a million years i would be a partial owner of a tatt shop. Beth, is this more the career choice you see me at?????

Maybe so!! LOL Does this mean if we go visit you we get a discount on group tatts??

But of course, we could have a diva at the shop day.

Marcie, I saw on FB that your brother passed. I just wanted to say that I am so sorry and I hope you are feeling better. I'm glad Gary and your co-workers think you are looking better. I hope you are up to start planning on the Vegas trip soon. We miss you.

Well, after looking online today, I want to stay at the Venetain, but it is over twice the price of Paris or Mirage. Paris actually looks very nice for the $$. But Mirage is much closer to the group at Harrah's. Decisions, decisions.

We still have no clue what shows we are seeing, correct? I think Menopause is the only one I know for sure I want to see.

 

[ImMarcik]

I got the first package in the mail today from my brother's girlfriend, his wallet, cell phone, passport, all his legal things. It made me physically sick.

Linda, if you REALLY want the Venetian, you should sign up to get their emails. They do have specials. And I know you and Cheryl are rooming together, but if you were open to more roommates, that is one place you can fit several people in there comfortably.

These pics are from when Ruben and I stayed at the Palazzo which is the addition to the Venetian. (his mom actually got a comped room there and gave it to us!) The colors and furnishings are different but the layout in the two hotels is the same, so you can get an idea from these pics how large the rooms are.

As you can see there is a separate living room area with a huge couch, two beds, two tvs, a big bathroom with separate toilet, and lots of room.

If I had to share with several roomies to cut costs, that would be the only place I'd do it. LOL So if you really wanted to stay there, and you and Cheryl were willing to take in more roomies, it could work. Just a thought.



As for shows and a schedule, Theresa, Marcie, and I have been tossing a few ideas around and came up with a tentative plan that works with the things they wanted to do.
It doesn't include everything, so I was thinking we could post that, and then everyone else, can pick and choose, and change things as they see fit. Make sense?

I'll post what we worked on in a sec...........need to go find it....

Awww, hon. I'm so sorry.

 

[wendylady36]

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about this trip, and if I am able to make it, it looks like I'll be arriving late Friday night and leaving early AM on Monday. I really want to go, so I hope I can make it work out for me!


Biggest of monkey hugs, Marcie!

 

[toocherie]

Re the Venetian--I get emails from them all the time with specials Linda. They just haven't gone out to June yet. I think our best bet (which we can talk about tomorrow night, among other things . . . ) is to reserve at the Mirage or somewhere else, and then when it gets closer hope that we get a good offer for Venetian.

 

[mommaU4]

I hope so too. For purely selfish reasons of course. I want to hang out with you!!!

I agree. Rates change all the time. Just make sure of your cancellation policy at Mirage or where ever you initially book so you don't get charged a penalty.

 

[mommaU4]

OKay so this is the tentative schedule that Theresa, Marcie and I tossed around. I know the things on there won't be for everyone. I'm hoping we can have a general schedule like we did in November, and then meet up here and there for certain things. kwim?



Wednesday, June 2
Theresa and Marcie arrive
Cheapo dinner somewhere close to Harrahs
Catch shuttle to the Rio to see Chippendales



Thursday, June 3
Theresa and Marcie rent a poolside cabana. Other ladies arrive at various time throughout the day. (I won't be there until the evening)
At night, go to dinner at Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay
Then see Carrot Top at Luxor at 8:30
After the show go to Eye Candy lounge in Mandalay Bay for drinks



Friday, June 4
Theresa and Marcie go to the spa. (I won't be there until late lunch time)
Lunch at Hash House A Go-Go in Imperial Palace next door to Harrahs.
Meet for dinner at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill at Harrahs.
Go see Bite at Stratosphere at 10:30.
Back to Harrahs for drinks and music at Carnaval Court.



Saturday, June 5
Group meal at Dicks for lunch 11:15
Conservatory in the Bellagio
Rest up for a long, late night!!
Dinner at Mirage, two options: Kokomos OR BLT Burger
Divas show at Imperial Palace at 10:00
Kahunaville at TI



Sunday, June 6
Shopping at outlets/Disney store
Lunch at Tommy Bahamas
Dinner at Cheesecake Factory in Caesars
Chippendales (yes, again. We are like Callie and Tina with their Billy. LOL)



So anyway, there ya have it. Like I said, I know those things on there are not for everyone. I know we aren't all going to agree on the same shows, and such, so I thought maybe meeting for at least one or two things a day, like shopping, or a meal or whatever. And then the rest of the time, break off into groups depending on who wants to do what.


Let me know what y'all think. I figure most of the meals we can do together and hopefully the Divas show, and Carnaval Court as well as Kahunaville.

Love it!!! Can we go now, puleeze????

For anyone checking into Harrah's on the Thursday, you can come out and meet me, Marcie, and the hot cabana boy at the pool when you arrive - that's where we'll be Woo Hoo!!!

 

[BC Disney Lover]

The schedule looks great! I can't decide if I want to miss the Nickelback concert here on Thursday or go and just fly in early Friday. I was a little worried that I would miss the Chippendales but then I saw them scheduled again on Sunday

As far as plans go I'm very easy going and pretty much up for anything.

 

[Stacerita]

Im hoping to fly in on Thursday afternoon. Schedule looks good.

You're gonna fly? I have to say that even though it was expensive to fly in Nov, it sure was convenient. Especially at MGM where the cab was only $10 and 10 minutes. I am hoping Cheryl wants to leave fairly early on Thursday. I would love to start the trip off by sipping a cocktail in your cabana. I have to check out some of the shows and meals you have listed.
