I'm in Las Vegas for the next 11 days anyone want to get together?
I'll be there for a movie we're making (Race to Witch Mountain). I'll be there June 1-11, 2008. Anyone want to get something to drink/eat? If you want to see some movie making going on, let me know, we'll be shooting on the Strip and at the Planet Hollywood Hotel/Casino from June 1-4. The rest of the time I'll be at a conference in LV.

Rick,
Just a bit warm for me on a bike this time of year. Tomorrow will be 103 here in the desert and I have not found the "A/C" switch on the bike yet, so am 4 wheeling it most of the time. Might be talked into driving over though... Joe

I'm here, staying at Planet Hollywood Hotel on the Strip. Tabs, Jordi, how about lunch Tuesday or Wednesday. I know Jordi can't do dinner. Or Tabs, I can do something later like dinner with you.
Sonic DB, I am responsible for motion picture and television production safety for Disney.

If wife has seen "O" then next best choice will be "KA" at the MGM
To me the best sushi place is 'I Love Sushi' in Henderson, we can plan a dinner around that.

My boss pulled some strings with Guy Laliberté's people & got us front row seats to Love at the Mirage in Jan. It was great esp for old dudes like us.
Other than that the best view in Vegas is seeing it in your rearview mirror as you are driving out into the desert. Ian

Had lunch at the Bellagio with Tabs and Jordi a really, really good buffet. We chatted for about 2 hours. Guys I had a fabulous time. Thanks very much. In person, Tabs, is just like his persona online. A true Gentlemen of Wealth and Taste.

Just had dinner with Tabbie at Jerry's Nugget up in old town Las Vegas. The prime rib is unbelievably good. For $16.95 it was as good as you'd pay three times that at the new strip. We ate and smoked cigars for three hours. While sitting outside puffing away we saw the dregs of humanity trying to get into the casino. "I sorry sir, but one filty sock on one foot and one absolutely black bare foot with open sores on it doesn't meet our dress code"
When you're in Vegas, PM Tabs. I think you'll find him to be a very interesting, insightful fellow. He reads people pretty well too.
