AKA_Monet · #6 06-24-2003, 04:57 PM

Sorors,

Be aware that y'all really need to bring a BUDGETTED amount of $$$ that you plan on losing, instantaneously... 'Cuz ALL places in Vegas take any kinna plastic, and y'all can come home with the shirts off your backs!!! Or worse...

I only say that 'cuz I goto Vegas alot myself... They got the dayum slot/video poker machines in the Airport!!! And those things ain't never, neva, neve, evar loose--ABSOLUTELY NO PAYOUTS!!! And one can get addicted to that "Wheel Of Fortune" game... Or the "Deuces are Wild" video poker game...

Places that have good food: GOTO the Boardwalk Hotel to their buffet. They are on the Strip... Very good food and inexpensive. If you wanna go off-Strip--goto "Texas Station" Hotel--very good buffet. Circus-cirus' buffet is huge but not cheap. And be ready to eat. Old Las Vegas is okay--Binion's is the place. Hush Puppies is a good Sea Food, but off-strip. And y'all better know sum body really really famous if y'all wanna be up in the Ghostbar in the Palms Hotel on a Friday or Saturday night...

DO NOT GAMBLE at the Venetian, Bellagio, MGM Grand and any other brand new hotel--YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY AND THEY WILL SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR IT!!!

Be careful in going to concerts, the seating is all one level--not on a risers or stadium and you can't see the stage. If you wanna pay the $50+ seats, then you might be wasting your money... Ever since Earl Turner left from the Rio, their ain't no good shows for "us"... They got some Earl Turner lookalikes, but they ain't that good...

The Beach Club is too wild and they ain't that interesting unless you want the college hangout...

OHHHHH!!!!! Gordon Biersch has an EXCELLENT Sunday Jazz Brunch!!!! And they charge a little of nuthin' to get in!!! Starts around 9ish-10ish... Gordon's is off Flamingo I think... But everyone who works in Vegas will point you in a direction...

Whatelse, personally, I like the Halls of Caesar (sp.) for shopping. They got this indoor swapmeet off of Decatur and Flamingo and it has almost the same kinna stuff as in the ritzy places--so be sure they don't rip you off... Vegas is known for that...

The Mirage has the nicest pool too...

That's all I can think of right now... Have fun!! Good Luck!!

Thank You for the info.

I am registered for the sisterly relationship activity, effective presentation techiques, traditions, effective rules of public speaking.

Choo-ChooAKA · #8 06-24-2003, 06:14 PM

Soror AKA-Monet -- thanks for the tips. Are you going?

I'll be attending:

***getting out my confirmation...***

A Commitment to Our Pearls...
Leadership: Spiritual Gifts...
The Top 10 Secrets of First Impressions...
Help!...

(They all have such very looong titles!)

See you all there!

Skeelicious1 · #9 06-24-2003, 07:06 PM

Maybe we could put a little pink or green dot on our name tags so other GCers will know we are from GC...

pointNclick · #10 06-25-2003, 10:05 AM

Soror Skeelicious1, that might not be such a bad idea!!!

Since some GC'ers might not be going to the "other" gathering, and as many of us are staying at different hotels, it would be nice to identify our cyber-sorors in a unique, yet discreet way.

LOL, you know I still haven't done that. I am sure we will be getting an update on the count.

Anyone going to the SPA event?

Count down to Vegas is on!

pointNclick · #12 06-25-2003, 10:24 AM

Get on it, dog gone it!!!

you don't want to be one of the folks she talks about in the next update

. Plus you know you want to be in the place!

No spa for me, I am too old for all this excitement anyway. I need to pace myself. The workshops, the banquet, and the gathering are enough for me.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this conference. But the grad chapter up there is a very sweet chapter--small, but very sweet sorors.

One thing is, Vegas may be able to handle large conventions, but they are never able to handle us...

The Alphas met out there and Vegas asked them to come again... So, as one can imaging, they get a whole lotta sorors up there--it might get bought out--but I dunno how it'll happen...

I'm soooooo jealous!!! But the Far Western Region will be in charge of the Boule in 2012 so Vegas might be the place if we're still all here...

I"m going to Sisterly Relations and the Traditions workshop too.

I may need something than a DOT. I can't see far away, even with my contacts.

I think we need to start discussing some of this by way of email or pm. You know perps do lurk. It's a conference so we don't want to let them know what we are doing to help their act of deceit. Feel me?

Maybe a PRIVATE yahoogroup for those attending.

Sorors,

I would like to participate in these meet/greet sessions. Please include me on the emails/PMs and update me on anything that is official/exclusive for GC. Thanks. My email is v_benson_76@msn.com
