Spike ,'Sleeper'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
They know price is an issue. I trust them enough to assume they know the best places in their cities for what we're looking for, and capable of negotiating for places they'd actually sleep without pretreating with flea powder, and eat in, without taking anti-biotics.
If their proposals don't appeal, people won't vote for them. If what they come back with appeals, people will vote for them.
That's how I feel about it, too.
Question re: Vegas.
Shold I inquire on Fremont Street (downtown) or keep inquiries based on The Strip?
Shitting Bull Consensus only.
Aimee, since we have a particular Vegas hotel we stay at no matter what, I don't get a vote on this one.
Include downtown. I haven't been in years, but I know I used to like it. Isn't it all enclosed and air conditioned, now? Or was that a myth?
Yes. Do Fremont Street. That area is a load of fun and it's easy to get to the strip either by shuttle or cheap cab.
Haven't been to Vegas in years so I'm good for whatever.
Kay.
Got a note back from The Trop - they are under renovation and aren't accepting IFB's.
I've done a meeting planner thingie with Harrah's and will do one with Treaure Island. I might do one with A Great Big Hotel, just to see.
I'll work on Fremont Street next.
Is No Pool a dealbreaker? (By which I mean for anyone else?)
If Fremont street has fewer slot machines dinging constantly, I'm all for it.
eta: Whoa! for a second, I thought that said "Is no poo a dealbreaker"
Keep in mind the quality of the pools range far and wide. The pool at the Imperial Palace is nothing more than a big cement hole in the ground with no shade except for the building itself. Whereas the pool at Treasure Island is very tropical with cabanas and palm trees, etc.
I would think that if the downtown casinos have pools, they'd either be indoor or on a rooftop.
You can also get a great $1.99 shrimp coctail on Freemont Street.

I hope we've been assuming all along that bathrooms are a requirement.
Pools are nice, but I don't think necessary.
