Just be sure to wear a hard hat if you're walking under it.

WOW!!! Just think of the massive B-day party we could have. LIPH, you, BG, and me! Anyone else want to celebrate?

And even though she won't be there, April 9 is my sister's birthday. We can celebrate by proxy.

Hey Dean...since we will be in Vegas this Saturday for when HOPEFULLY the Vegas April tickets go on sale..can you tell me where the MGM Box Office is so I know where I am going???? I hope they do go on sale. I'll drag my sorry hung over butt across the street but I need to know where to go and since you are the expert...I was hoping you could tell me!

Thanks!
Heidi

The box office is just outside the main entrance to the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Although I've yet to see a press release with details for this year, they usually hand out numbered wristbands from 6a-9a and than draw a random number at 9:15 to start the lineup for the 10am onsale. Once I see confirmation on this, I'll post a copy of it.....but I hope to see you over there!

BTW....if you're husband is coming over with you.....space your wristbands out.....have one picked up at 8am and another at 8:45......or something similar.....gives you better odds at getting a better number.

Keep checking the board and I'll keep you updated!

Are they going to do the alley by the Flamingo again?
Is the MGM going to do the theme park party again..or parking lot?
And what about that Vegas monorail...I heard it's finally working and getting rave reviews. That'll make pre-party hopping alot easier!
VEGAS AGAIN...and again.

Pre-partys will be pretty much the same I believe.....although details are yet to be worked out, the LVPHC will host Last Man Standing on Friday night (should be at least one Reefer there)....than Saturday, Margaritaville and MGM will both happen again.

The monorail has been working now for a few weeks and it will be nice if this continues to operate efficiently. After the problems it has endured though, I wouldn't necessarily count on it being operational 3 months from now!

Although you don't need a hard hat to ride it....you only need that to protect you from falling wheels under the track!

Dean..thanks for the tips and the info! We will definitely be there IF they do in fact go on sale! Even if I am so hungover I can barely walk we'll be there.

Thanks for the idea of spacing out between dh and I...that is a great idea!
I hope to see you there as well!!!

And if they do the Last Man Standing..we'll be going to that too! That was awesome fun last October!

She took them to clubs where they skipped the 2 hour lines, got vip'd, drank for free, and had way hott girls dancing with and for them all night long! Oh yeah, and the guy that was their host at one of the clubs even told them not to tip!!
Didn't I see that on a TV show? I'm pretty sure the "host" was pretty adament about not tipping because it was on that $2700 tab.

I'm still gasping over the $2,700 bar tab!! Speaking of tv shows..... anyone see The Club last night? The reason why people were dressed the way they were at Ice was because there was a pimps and hos party at the Orleans that night. I remember that cuz it was Labor Day weekend. Oh wait, I must have dreamed it cuz I've never been to Vegas!!!

So that would be Thursday, March 31 through Monday, April 18???

Uh oh...
Here we go again. Looks like I am in with my wife, her sister and my brother in law.
Probably will stay at the Key Largo like always. Looking forward to Last Man Standing. The LVPHC can always be counted on for a fantastic time.
I still regret that we missed the last show, don't want to let another one pass me by.
My anniversary in on April 12th so this will be a spectacular trip for an anniversary present for my wife.
Also my Brother In Law and I started a business a few months ago ( www.jackashcustom.com ) Maybe we will have to call this an "Executive Committee Meeting" that way we can write it off

Dean. You have a PM.

Key Largo is now closed and slated for demolition.....you'll have to look elsewhere this time around.

BTW...I have no PM?????

LMAO!!! Can't do that, but I will be there twice in April. I just found airfare for the 26th thru the 2nd of May for $243. That's about the best I ever see based on the flight times I usually pick. Time to look into the weekend of the 9th now.
