Who's ready for Vegas?

[Extreme John]

Extreme Paychecks Crew is, we booked today and we are ready to roll, oh I know it's early, but dont let that stop you, let us know when your booked up.|rasta|

[Torn Rose]

I will be with CamZ, I booked all of our rooms last week, hate waiting to the last min and don't want to forget to do it.

I have big hopes for this Internext, not that I want to return to Vegas. (hate the city)

Why can't these be in places with great beaches?

|drunk|

[Ramster]

I usually don't book until December, I'm always like that. But this year I'll book early, maybe Oct., since I'm bringing my wife. She's tired of me going to all these nice places without here. LOL

You guys have a booth there? Hey, I got a check from you today. Wonder if my bank will ask about the big Extreme Paychecks wording across it. hehe

[the dog]

We will be there for sure, planning to shoot some girls while in vegas contact us for the "secret location" If interested |shake|

[Greenguy]

I booked my room last week, but waiting on the flight as the prices right now are a tad bit higher than usual (should be less over the next few weeks)

For those of you that have a gambling problem like The Bitch & I, if the Venetian has offered you the 3 free nights, book your rooms thru them & not the travel agent. Do this for 2 reasons:

1 - we're staying a week - 3 free nights & 3 nights at the regular hotel ratyes - this is still cheaper than the travel agent
2 - when the casion hosts come around & see that you're gambling alot, then will NOT comp your room if you booked thru a travel agent (we learned this the hard way the last 2 years)

Great point Greenie on the Gambeling, I dont usually Gamble at the Venetian, I actually Gamble everywhere but the Venetian, Ive never had luck there yet, and lord knows Im addicted to Craps and can get a little crazy.

As for the flights, whats up with that, I was going to buy and said screw it, not yet, my wife thought they looked high as well (I have no memory so I only guess if it's high or not to sound like I know what Im talking about).

If you love COMPS put your hands in the air :)|bananna|

[Greenguy]

Right now the flights on American are $256-300 - I don't remember paying much over $200 any time I went out.

of course, these are cheaper than last weeks, which were all over $300

[Dr Bizzaro]

I was ready to go back, around last February.

G-money and myself will be staying for 5 days.

Looks like the airfare is around $185 per person here.
Not to shabby. Think I might book it today.

Wow, years of speaking and we may actually meet in Vegas, very nice.

Shit you guys are lucky, our flights were $389 last week when we checked, Ill check it again here shortly, hopefully it will drop, Im a cheap bitch :)

Bart: I hate Pai Gow. Can't we just play Quang Jong?

[SirMoby]

I'll have to miss Vegas this year but I'll be thinking about all of you. The Ukraine QT and I are having a baby instead of going to Vegas. We might get married in Vegas but d oyou want you children born there?

[Dr Bizzaro]

I hope to see another GG&J board get together in Vegas.

It was nice meeting and hanging out with the people I met in Miami. Perhaps we can do it in the Casino bar one afternoon/early night. Get something semi-formal together.

Just a thought.

[Greenguy]

Greenguy & Jim will be sponsoring a suite in Vegas - more info on that later.....

:)

[Raven]

I have usually booked Vegas by now....but, I haven't quite recovered from the last show...

I love the Venetian...I could live there!

Years ago, I used to gamble....I think I've lost my desire...either that...or the show is too intense for me to concentrate on my beloved BlackJack.

Cleo how far away are you by car?

The flights usually drop the most once it gets to be within 30 days of the event, at that time they're trying to fill up the plane and they really drop the rate to get asses in the seats.

Will be at the Venetian as well....thanks for the tip GG..coulda saved a shitload of money last time with that :) as much as I hit the tables last time - Always wondered about that no-comp for trav. agent booked stuff.

[Extreme John]

I did the Travel agent book thing the first time I ever went, I hated it, paid in full than when I got there, the travel agent hadnt paid for my room yet, so they had to hunt them down, was a big ordeal, sucked.

[ExtremeEric]

Can anyone say PRIME RIB !!!!!
|bananna| |hotjump|

[docholly]

We're having a cam ho get together at the same time as well.. several coming from WA, CA, AZ, TX and NV. All staying at the RIO.. nice off the strip....all suites..and my favorite part.. all comped..since i'm an addict!! ok i have 2 vices.. Wild Dicks and Wild Deuces!!

you'll know me..i'm the old phat phart in the middle of the big boob contingency.. Tart promises to keep me lubed with bloody marys!!

[Greenguy]

John - Jim & I were going to get our own suite, so when I called down for my room & my line of credit (yes, I'm getting a line of credit thru the casion for some insane reason) I asked aobut getting a suite on the 3rd floor. She asked if I was with Internext & I made the mistake of saying "I will be there for the convention, but I am not exhibiting". She told me she'd look into it & get back to me. I called her back a week later & was told she had no new news. That's when I pretty much assumed that Rose Travel has a firm grip on most or all of the party suites |banghead|

So we're joining up with 2 others for a suite. Like I said before, it will be a fucking awesome suite - 1st time convention goers will tell tales about it soon after they get home :D

I stayed at the Rio after the last convention (since no one really knew me than, I love booking trips to just about anywhere and extending them after I am there), so this time I stayed an extra week at Rio (in Vegas 2 weeks), they comped all of our rooms, and that place is a blast.. Talk about a buffet!

Hey GG, you know Im only kidding, I respect that and Im sure it's going to be a blast.

[Extreme John]

Thats cool, probably better off anyway, I dont like the though of people coming "After us" it's nerve racking, hahah..

Do you play Craps?

[XPorn]

Have not been on board in a week or so...anyhow...

Hell ya...Vegas is gonna be sweet. Think this my 5th year...
Hope to drink some beer with everyone!

I have no idea how to play craps but I have been known to play when I have a few in me - just tell me what to bet on so I can blame you if I loose :D

Haha no problem, I love newbie luck, we will walk with extra cash to spend on whatever :)

You have a PM

I haven't had chance to think about Vegas. Been slammed w/ Hollywood deals and follow ups still. |loony|

I'm here waiting for all of you already!

yeah it's a WHOLE different thought process when you live there.. you can't go "back home" and make more money..

I lived there for 6 yrs and if you are a gambleholic like me.. you have to completely change your thought process.. vegas for residents is a cold hard city and, rightly so, landlords, bill collectors don't "play". |skull|

but we found FUN and Great times in other ways!!

I should be off the crutches before show start and Luna and I are really looking forward to meet you all.

[Surfn]

My motor home is ready to roll as soon as my new notebook arrives this weekend. Then off to AZ and on to Vegas.

We have been steadily booking Vegas stuff all along, we have some of the rooms, the Booth is good to go, have most of the advertising goods as well.

We cant wait :)

Does anybody know a place to board dogs in Vegas? We're going to be driving down (yup, from Canada) & then on to Mexico after the convention so my puppies will be in tow.

[Rictor]

Ugh. I guess I should book now. I hate making plans.

[firehorse]

Kitty and I are looking forward to our booth and meeting everyone we didn't catch up with in Florida! |roses|

Peace and Profit

[ulfie]

I'll be there. It snowed here today if you can believe that so I'm already looking to get to somewhere warm.

Last year I got deathly ill on the second day I was there and missed the whole show. Never even left the hotel room the last 3 days. Hopefully this year will be a lot better. |bananna|

is there a place where SPONSORS go when they are looking for help with promoting their product line (sites or produucts or services ) to other webmasters ... and when the SPONSOR needs help at the events (conventions and get-to-gethers) with meeting and greeting and networking with webmasters ??

I guess there might be companies that aren't actually considered a sponsor - but might ALSO need the same type help... so include those type companies in this question as well....

[Greenguy]

Ahhh - I see now :)

Bell - you can:

1 - get a booth on the convention floor
2 - sponsor a party
3 - meet people at parties & on the convention floor

Bring some business cards :D

Actually Chop I think Bell is asking 1 of 2 things,

1) in the event she was looking to promote something at a booth where would she be able to find sites that would help her set that up or what I was thinking is the more likely
2) If there are currently any sponsors out there that might be looking for help in the booths, parties, etc, or that might need a hand with the networking angle, that Bell would be interested in being someone that helps a sponsor out. Or in general where do we go to get the help.

For example Extreme will need more than the normal 3-4 people we travel with, so we will be flying in somewhere in the area of 12-14 staff members to help with Booth Staffing, answering questions, helping with our Pre-Party on the night of the 4th and with our Affiliate party on the night of the 5th. As well as any other parties we might sponsor or events we might get involved in.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO VEGAS!!!

Well I am so lucky because I live in Las Vegas and love it here. Being that I am into webmastering, playing poker both online and in the casinos and this year I will be attending a few World Poker Tour events, and my great love for computers make this the perfect place to live for me.

I live in the city that both Comdex and Internext visit, it is wonderful! I just joined to community here and really like the matter of talk on this forum compared to others so far.

Well I have to get checking out all the other post and get caught-up here of the happenings going on.

[Cleo]

Looks like I'm going, still have to book my flight and decide where I'm staying, I hate traveling. Actually Vegas is about the last place that I want to vacation since I've been there twice already and basically don't care for Vegas, must have something to do with the fact that I find gambling and drinking pretty boring.

Thinking of getting a room off of the strip and renting a car so that I can do a little sight seeing. I see hotels that are a few miles from the strip with a kitchen and all for about $50 a night.

[Greenguy]

Don't worry Cleo - The Bitch will go shopping with you :D

See Red Rock Canyons. I enjoyed it last month. The thirty minute drive is worth it.

If you are not staying on the strip, consider staying downtown. The hourly Freemont experience light show is great.

[Cleo]

I was just looking over at expedia.com and I found a 4 day package that includes a room at the Stratosphere Tower Hotel plus the flight and a car for $385.83.

I've been to Red Rock Canyon (http://www.redrockcanyon.blm.gov/) and would love to see it again. Actually I've never been to Nevada in the winter. What is the weather like during that time of year? Since I live in the tropics I don't own anything warmer then a light sweater.

I've been all over the west twice during my hippy years, spent about six months camping in all the national parks each time, but only during the summer months.

[Chop Smith]

Stayed at the Stratosphere in September. Might have been a similar package. I already have my plane ticket but considering staying there in January. If the new monorail system is completed, transportation to the convention center should not be too expensive.

[Extreme John]

I leave for Vegas in T - 2 Days and counting :) only for a quick 3 day ordeal |bananna|

Sorry Cleo, I love Vegas, not a HUGE gambler, well maybe a tad bit, ok Im ADDICTED to Craps, but other than that I still love vegas and I especially Love Internext in Jan.

Well Cleo, at that time of year it could get pretty cold. Being in a desert we only have two seasons here. Hot and Cold, both are at the extremes. In January it will probably be in the low 40s could hit 30s a few nights.

In January I will need to ride 30 more times LOL

[Chop Smith]

I am to old for that. I would love to see you on the new one that is going over the edge.

[Surfn]

I'll be on it |bananna| |bananna|

Since you don't want to go on the coaster how about we bungee jump together?

[Chop Smith]

How about me just watching?

[docholly]

Cleo: January and Feb are the 'rainy' months there.. and being that the ground is hard from baking from March to Nov.. there is a bit of flash flooding. However, it rarely affects the strip area.

As far as transportation goes, the strip bus and trolley are $1.00 and most casinos will provide transport to other casinos or have a mini-bus that runs around.

As far as hotels off the strip, that's my preference as well. We are staying at the Rio, and my 2nd choice would be the Orleans. If you re looking for an apartment type place, Cleo, try like the Budget Suites on Tropicana.. they are pretty decent and i think the weekly rate there is like 250 per week, which isn't bad.

KCat..i have a friend in vegas who runs in her home, the AAA Pet Hotel, she gives the dog/cat full run of her house or yard whichever they are more accustomed to, so if those on the link aren't what you are looking for hit me up.

[Jim]

If you get a chance and have the cash, take the helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. It is the ride of your life. It takes a few hours to get there and you fly over Hoover Dam and land on the floor of the canyon. Where they have a table setup with wine and cheese. They let you hang out there for about an hour where of course my wife had to smoke a joint (a lifetime dream to smoke a joint on the floor of Grand Canyon).

After leaving the canyon a few hours later, you are back in Vegas flying down the strip and then landing at the airport. I think it was about $1400 but...with 2 couples, it really isn't that bad of a price.

And of course, if you go to the Stratosphere, you have to go on the rides :) I love when you wait in line for the roller-coaster and feel the tower shaking :) The food was pretty good too. But, when they take your picture, be prepaired to pay about $40 for it :)

Cleo - just to clarify, the Vegas Rainy Season & your Rainy Season are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS I've been there 5 times in Jan for conventions & I think it rained 1 day :D

[Cleo]

Yeah our rainy season means sun is out with huge thunder clouds in the sky with bolts of lightening flying out of the sky while the rain is poring down so hard that it is impossible to see far enough to be able to drive while trees are being blown across the road and it is fucking 98˚F at 100% humidity outside. Basically it is hot and wet outside with a high chance of being killed for a few months. :(

Why do I leave here again, wait, that's right, it is fucking beautiful here 8 or 9 months out of the year. :D

I just put air in my bike's tires this week and started biking again. It is already cooling off, still pretty hot, and outdoor fun time. Roof comes off the car, windows on the house get opened, A/C goes off, just beautiful here all winter and spring. :)

What does all this have to do with Vegas?
Not a fucking thing…

[Extreme John]

Ahhh everyone's planning a little roller coaster venture huh? Good times. I cant wait to give MML a Boob hat myself, top it off with some sweaty plumbs, now thats a party :)

Dr. B I give you credit I cant jump out of a plane, no thank you.

I was just looking over at expedia.com and I found a 4 day package that includes a room at the Stratosphere Tower Hotel plus the flight and a car for $385.83.

I've been to Red Rock Canyon (http://www.redrockcanyon.blm.gov/) and would love to see it again. Actually I've never been to Nevada in the winter. What is the weather like during that time of year? Since I live in the tropics I don't own anything warmer then a light sweater.

I've been all over the west twice during my hippy years, spent about six months camping in all the national parks each time, but only during the summer months.


I've not yet ever used Expedia.com...
has anyone here used them ??
that sounds like a good deal cleo... did you book it ??

~Bell

[stuveltje]

well i skip, i wanted to go but my guy wont get in a plane anymore, had some bad flights before, i can go alone, but i wont go with out my hubby!! So i am looking forward to all the reactions and pics from the ones who did go!!!|violin|

[Ramster]

Roller coasters, airplanes and helicopters? I think I'll be staying on the ground with the amount of alcohol I'm sure I'll be consuming.

Cleo
There are a ton of hotels all around the Venetian. Better to stay close to the show and drive to the shopping.

And speaking of shopping, my wife is coming so she'll be tagging along for that.

[Cleo]

I've talked to a few friends who use Expedia and they are happy with the service.

Since I need to be able to do reviews, Luna is going with me most likely, I need to get to Starbucks since that is where the T-Mobile hotspot service is. Nothing like seeing folks spit out their coffee when they get a peek at my screen. :D

I see lots of locations for Hotspot service, (T1 Speed), in Los Vegas so this should be no problem plus I still get 128k internet on my cell phone.
http://locations.hotspot.t-mobile.com/page6.asp?state=nv

I'm thinking of booking a day or two extra so that I can do a little sight seeing, haven't decided yet. I figure that I still have plenty of time to do my booking.

I still have to find someone that I trust enough to take care of my cats and my Blue Macaw. Someone that will go to my house each day and keep them company for a bit each day. :)

Really there's no way to do Vegas cheap. Avoiding the tables seems to lessen the damage some though.

[Cleo]

Count Cards :D

[Cleo]

Not that this has anything at all to do with Vegas…

If I ever go to Japan I found a place that I would want to stop by for grins.

It's five stories high from what I'm told.




:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[docholly]

There are japaneese tourists in Vegas and quite a bit of shopping..

it could "tie" in..

|jester|

On the expedia issue: I've used expedia for a couple of years, no problems at all. My company currently uses them for all our corporate travel as well and even the most computer illerate finds them easy to navigate.

I look forward to seeing all my old friends and many new ones there myself!

I don't believe I will be in Vegas this year. My mother has had some very bad news and there is no way I can leave her for even a few days.

If I do come to Vegas, it will be for one day only.

[Linkster]

Jim...that doesnt sound good....let us know if there's anything we can do to help out

[Jim]

Thanks Linkster
There really is nothing to be done. Except for me to spend as much time with her as I can.

[Cleo]

Jim I've been through what you are now going through. Really nothing good I can say other then to say that it is a part of life and time does make the pain go away. Spend as much time as you can with her.

[Sarah_Jayne]

I finished booking it all yesterday so I am going for the first time! Now what, lol.

I was trying to see if anyone else that works in the BBW side of things wanted to have a meet up amongst the seas of implanted perfection.

Actually last January, 2 nights before I left, at about 4am, I hit a Royal flush on a video poker game and it brought me back up to even.
6 hours later, Gmoney hit the same thing on the same bank of machines. He was only down a few hundred, so he left Vegas about $600 ahead or so.

I don't know how that place stays in business.

[Greenguy]

sarah_webinc - MrMaryLou & I are big BBW fans (no pun intended - LOL)

Greenguy & Jim will be sponsoring something - not sure if I can mention it yet or not - but we will be able to meet & greet board members in a somewhat social atmosphere :D

Cool, Tofu from adult.com is a BBW fan too but so far I appear to be the only BBW going, that I know about of course....could be a bonus for me I guess ;)

Meeting me is going to be profitbale for people too but I can't mention anything just yet either ..hehe. I'll just say, people should make sure they get biz cards before vegas.

[Cleo]

Quaaludes and chips for all. :D

There will be other BBW's & BBW fans there - MrMaryLou will introduce you to all of them :D

sorry to damper your "exclusivity" because there will be a Bevy of Big Beautiful babes attending.. Big Hips and Hot Lips will abound..

however we all say.. the MORE the Merrier!!! maybe we should plan a BBW Party to counter act the more common "i didn't eat for a week so i can be 105lb with my rib cage showing in my bikini for the show" babes that will be in abundence.

LMAO.. |jester|

YAY! Trust me I had no real desire to be the exclusive anything. I'm shy at the best of times. I knew there had to be some..just needed to flush them out. I know that curvycash ususally goes (I am a curvy cat ..my pics are still on there from years back) but I think Jenmarie said she wasn't able to go this year.

well..if he goes around like his avatar I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard to notice him ;)

Hi Sara...I'm doing everything I can to get there. Would love to get together with some other BBW's. And Wooohoooo...gotta love knowing that there will be some BBW appreciaters there.

cool..if you do get there let us know and we can always do a bbw informal meet up early on so we all have familar double chinned faces at the show ;)

[Extreme John]

Wow Jim, Im VERY sorry to hear about your Mom and ANY bad news, Family always comes first, and we all wish you the best. If you need anything at all please dont hesitate to ask, and our prayers are with you.

Hey xxxjay you can do Vegas cheap, staying off the tables is always the best start, or at least controlling yourself on them will be a huge help, there's plenty of hotels out here (even the big ones), that are $69 a night, and air fares as long as theres no conventions or anything major going on get pretty cheap too.

Dr. B, some things with casino's never cease to amaze me, while playing craps the other night and puttin a hurtin on Harrahs someone hit a $1 Slot machine for $16,000, the following day another guy hit the machine hext to it for $9,000. - Pricks! :)

[Bell]

I'm supposed to be doing something else besides reading the board... but... I couldn't help it... I haven't been here much lately and I miss you all....


Jim - sorry to hear about your mom... she's already been on my prayer list for weeks now... she, you, and your family... I miss my dad so so so much... enjoy all the moments you can... I never had a forewarning... I hope you get to make it to the convention even if it is only for one day... but there will be other conventions... and you are STAYING in this business - you aren't going anywhere so there will be other conventions... that far of a roundtrip flight in less than 36hours will knock you on your ass to the point it might take you over a week to recover...

I am seriously thinking of going... but as soon as I would say I'm going ... I'll be there... then something would happen to make it not so... so this time... this time I am not going to jinx myself...

but I will say this to Sarah_webinc and any BBW's out there...
I love BBW's tooooo... I am not one, but I still love ya... (smile)
I hear they have all you can eat buffets there... maybe you all
could fatten me up... LOL... - - - if I do get to go I look forward to meeting you Sarah... and lots and lots of the rest of you as well...

is there a time deadline for using Expedia to book ??

lol, I would never dream of not 'allowing' someone to join me because they aren't a bbw. The more the merrier!

I booked my hotel through Expedia and the pickings were getting a bit slim but they had the best prices I could find and trust me I looked at about 15 different hotel sites in both the UK and the US.

[Extreme John]

Well so far we have 4 flights and 8 hotel rooms booked, still need to book Nate's, Eric's and my flight. Only 71 Days till we are gonzo. |bananna|
