Vegas Meetup... plans?

[Graham]

Was thinking more about the Vegas meetup lately and what we are going to do down there. Anything planned yet? Anyone interested in organizing any of the following:

1) Dinner with PAL affiliates... somewhere nice.
2) Cirque Du Soleil show or something similar?
3) Grand Canyon - Never done it, always wanted to.
4) Poker Game - Maybe someone could bring a chipset, or we could try and organize a table with one of the casinos.
5) Nights Out... we could always plan these last minute, but some popular places its best to plan early. (anyone with connections?)
6) Anything else... post your ideas in this thread.

I don't mind helping organize some things, so hopefully this thread will get an interest check.

Also, if any rooms are interested in sponsoring or subsidising anything, that is always fun too Just send me a PM.

Best,

Graham

I definitely agree that we need to do a PAL affiliate dinner. There are tons of good restaurants on and off the strip (steakhouses, sushi, italian).

I am down for a Cirque Du Soleil show but I have already seen the one at MGM and it may be a bit hard to get such a big crowd to sit together at any of them.

Always down for a poker game.

The night out is going to be tricky with such a big group. The bigger clubs like Tao want you to get bottle service or have an equal number of girls to guy ratio to get in. I have a feeling we are going to need to split up at the club we want to go to and try to find girls to go in with to help our ratio.

I am definitely interested in helping plan as well.

Dinner is a must. My recommendations:

n9ne
nobu (obv)
for something a little more relaxed we could go to Gallegers in New York New York then hit up the dueling piano bar.

Show I would not really be in for. Its hard with a group, and kinda guarentees a slow night...

poker game is a must. We can do a SNG at MGM where we all buyin for $60 i think. We did this during the 06 CAC. Maybe we even do a $100 buyin and winner takes all for the wsop seat the next day...?

def in for dinner, goooood steak is my pick. Let me know if i can be of assistance but i'm pretty much a vegas rookie when it comes to the finer dining establishments...

Love the idea of a $100 sng winner takes all... either that or we do the higher level SNG at MGM (i think it is $120 but don't remember) and just agree before hand to play winner takes all.

can't wait guys, look forward to meeting many of you in person for the first time.

I'm down for any kind of dinner. The winner takes all sng for the $1000 event sounds like a great idea. I'm in for sure. No for me on the show. And I'm down for pretty much any other hijinks you guys wanna plan. I also wouldn't mind a Grand Canyon trip, but I have no idea of the logistics for it or how long that takes. I did the Hoover Dam last time - that was a very cool couple hour trip.

Need to know a head count by monday.

I fuckin hope so. That'd be the ultimate in you giving me a "going to be a dad for the first time" gift.

I would love to meet up. Dinner and Poker sounds awesome. Never done the Grand Canyon trip but not sure if I will have time this trip.

When are said events to take place? Early or late June?

[JeremyM]

All ideas sound good to me. I would definitely be up for a day at the Grand Canyon.
