Have track arangements been looked into?

Heck, if having a drivable Porsche were a prerequisite.....hardly anyone would come. Especially one that is trusted enough...and comfortable enough to drive cross country. Heck, if I brought mine, I would trailer it the 9-hr drive from Albuquerque myself....and I have rebuilt/replaced half my car (including a professional engine rebuild. Go to the tech thread and see how many are broken/not-running or undergoing major modification/not-running at any one time.
Besides, with the car theft/vandalism/accident rates in Vegas, I wouldn't park my car on the street here anyways. Remember...what happens in Vegas..stays in Vegas. That includes rare Porsche parts. LOL...Come on down.

Are clowns allowed?

i am in! pending my project status. but i will arrange my own digs. thanks.

I'm in and really hoping to take the E. More likely the targa, which may be a cab, we'll see.

Shaun,
Your gonna drive it from Bean Town? Ballzy fer sure!

Balls I have aplenty. Just wish I had more sense! ;)

Vegas should be nothing, especially with co-pilot Jonathan Klaucke

If you make a go at that, I will have to hit you up for the "Rebel Run 07". A Texas run from Dallas to Houston to Abilene to Longview to San Antonio on back to Dallas. Start to finish, the track forms a lone star. The run will be in early spring - not to hot not to cold. Think of this as the Texas version of the Bull Run!

First things first - the UPM 06 then the Rebel Run 07 - UPM 06 is a party, RR 07 is for the strong at heart and the wanting of wallet!

Ok it's December.

I suggest picking a hotel so it doesn't end up sold out......

CC - the hotel rests squarley on TABS broad and meaty shoulders. If by 12/19 he is still wondering, I will fill the leadership vacuum with a more able body or myself.

I think Tabs fell into his new smoker..

I'm having visions of Tabs sprawled out on his patio with BBQ smeared all over his face, a distended belly filled with a beef flank unable to even roll to the toilet he just lies there in his on waste as several buzzards circling above. I'm surprised the neighbors haven't called the authorities concerning the stank! Maybe they are used to it.

Tabs, get yer ass busy now!

OK ....Coool..I PM you information on several locations
1. Red Rock Stations...they won't open till April 22, 2006..this would be my first choich...give a cursory call anyway to confirm my info...702-797-7777

2. Sun Coast...off strip in Summerlin, 15 minutes form the strip, lots of good restruants nearby. Roys, PF Changs etc. Room rates are 90 for weekdays and 170 for Fri/Sat. number is 887-677-7111

2A. Orleans....just off strip on Tropicana, not as nice in my estimation but rates are $80 weekdays and 120 Fri/Sat. did not pull number for them. They are part of Sun Coast Casino chain.

3. Rampart Casino. next to Sun Coast in Summerlin. run by Marriott Chain, Very nice Hotel, no prices, but more expensive then Sun Coast. If cost is not an object then would be choich. 877-869-7777

4 Mandalay Bay...on S end of strip, nice Hotel. Room rates are 110 weekdays and 190 fri/sat. 877-632-7800

OK these are what I think are good choichs.

Tabs - great start my brotha but the word was you were the man to make the hotel plans. Finding some choices are great but now is the next step. The way I see it you can have a poll or make a choice your self.

Step up Major, times they are a waste'n!

I vote for the Orleans....

I'm not picky.....

Orleans sounds good too

I told him I'd help him....

So Tabs, poll or Orleans?

For those who don't gamble, the Orleans has a nice theater with 18 screens.

The kart racing track I mentioned on a previous post is only 20 minutes away.

Orleans is closest to the strip? How far is it? How do we get there (cabs, or is someone going to take me in their fine vehicle)?

No, Mandalay Bay is right on the strip. Here's a map view of the hotels on the strip. You'd definitely have to take a cab or get a ride. You wouldn't want to hoof it to Las Vegas Blvd.

I'd offer you a ride Cool, but my fine vehicle will probably be a cab!:D

Just out of curiosity, who's taking their cars?? I'm still debating on driving from the East coast. It's not the best time of year to pass through the midwest!

I'm driving from Boston, prolly straight through.

I'm just a little concerned with hitting heavy snow, the '44 aint the best snowmobile.:D

Agreed. I may bring along a pair of snows.

your freak'n nutz!

BTW...the Mandalay Bay doesn't even show March yet for booking rooms...

Keep working it Tabs - we have faith you will not let us down (or besmerch your fine name)!

You drivers may want to break south at Chicago and run the southern route. You can pop on and off Rt 66 most of the way there.
I'll probably be out there, hanging on the eastside. Over by Eastern and Sahara for the locals.

So is it the Mandalay Bay?

I want to be there. Not sure if the wife will be with me. She's going to Mexico the week before.
Either way, 1 room.

I want to go so bad. I'm keeping a close eye on our deployment taskings. I may be getting hit for a two week job in March so I'll just have to wait and see.

Save me a room just in case!

SO how many have U got Lubby....and is it decided that U boyz wana stay at the Bay.....this is your trip, you have to tell me what you want done...

I need to know that you need say 55 rooms at the Mandalay Bay for such and such days...then I can call them and see what can be done.

Just bring the money, we could care less which car or how you get there. Fint and I need more money for dinner and booze and your check will do nicely!

Joe A

Just how lonely are you to bait me on multiple threads? Box of Kleenex handy I'm guessing?

Send a check to Mike, who, uhhh, has my money.

Thanks.

S

Tabs - can you reserve 50 rooms at the Bay for some wayward pelicans? If not, I will place the call.

Shaun - the check is safe and secure. Still unclear as to why I have it but no matter.

Give them the call Mikey.....

OK tabby...

Is it really that big of a deal to get a room in Vegas? Or do you guys just want to all be together? I am 50/50 on going, but I'll just grab a room last minute if I can go. If past trips hint atanything it's that you're never in your room anyway.

Ok luber, these are the current rates for Mandalay Bay:

Thurs: 179.95
Friday 249.95
Saturday 289.95

We probably should've booked it long ago or something...appears the rates went up.

We need to make a final decision this week. If others want to stay somewhere else, so be it. But a final decision probably needs to be made ASAP.
