Party bus is phun for all, singles or couples! We had both last time. Some of the hardier souls did make the meet and greet afterward. That was actually my most sober night, I just got so tired waiting in line at M'ville, I went to the room and crashed. I had been up a long time that day. We did 3 hours last time and I think all participants would agree it was not long enough, so planning 4 hours this time. I will be posting an interest thread next week. We started at 6pm last time, but I would be open to a different start time, although probably not earlier, too many people arriving different times on Thursday. Optimum cost would be if we get 20 people to commit. We didn't quite have that many last time, but it didn't make the cost go up too much. It was phantastic, so great. What's better than cruising with your phriends, making liquor store and In and Out burger runs? But the bus leaves on time this year. Lost out on a half hour last time. Learned my lesson. We can always swing back around and pick you up later (if someone hears their cell phone).
Hey Karat, I'm with you guys on the back and forth thing Friday night. Maybe we can carpool in a taxi.

I think the suggested/mandatory shots at the start of the bus ride were a must. It really loosened people up and got them dancing on the poles or playing with balloons!

We must be very hardy. We went to the meet and greet afterwards and then went to the Bar at Time Square for a couple hours. Lightweights!!! Must learn to pace yourselves. (Althought I didn't remember most of this, the wife had to remind me)

I was talking Meet n' Greet
Susan said she would take her back to the room..... Christine told her she was on the 27 floor....I was not sure if I would find her there or not when I got in.
That was the night I was invited to a Maxium Party and declined

I woulda thought that In and Out burger would have sucked up some of the alcohol, but.....

I think it was suggested they be made mandatory. Pholks took shots, then got duckies! And pirate shot glasses! And balloons! I always enjoy a bonus treat!

You were there, you did not last long though
Well, after leaving the "meet and greet" I didn't feel like walking all the way back to my hotel right away so I stopped at the IP for some Karaoke, then did the Karaoke in the Hawaiian Village

(Other than the 1 drink minimum at both places that was it for the night)
(Not that I didn't want to stay with you guys at the meet and greet, it's just that I knew that if I did stay I'd probably have gotten much worse to the point of having to take a cab back to Hooters (and I don't think I had the cash with me that night

)
(At least I think I did some Karaoke, I usually DONT forget that

)
(BTW that's a possibility after the Party Bus as well

)

I don't think I was in The Hardier Crowd

All I got to meet was the bench outside the Flamingo!!!

If you're serious, you really can't beat Imperial Palace nightly beginning at 9:00 (but I'm seeing more Karaoke shows on the strip as well, or at least I was since it's pretty much cheaper than a live band and usually more popular...

that place is a blast

That's one of the reasons I'm going to wait this time around.... Heck I can probably pick up a ticket at the Street Party if worst comes to worst (but I find it hard to believe that another set of tickets won't be released later in the summer...)

I must be high in crack, but I still can’t figure out how to get tickets for Nadirah at Margaritaville Café. Am I off my rocker? this cold is really kicking my butt.

I don't see anything on the Las Vegas cafe site about it yet.
