Ok, I just watched our Frisco DVD and got to re-live some great moments, laughing and crying at the same time looking at some phunny shots and pics of the Skype to Vicki. I am now ophicially going crazy, even if I'm not on Caroline Street. I am so ready to get to Vegas and see some of you guys again! I can't wait to introduce my new Frisco phriends to you all.

Just a little reminder as our final countdown nears (yeah, yeah, I know it's still over 4 weeks, but that's close enough for me to start counting :D ).

Bus riders, please add your info to the contact list per the link on the Vegas thread. If you would prefer not to do that, please pm me with your cell phone number and real name. I want to make sure we can reach each other by phone if there is some kind of unavoidable delay.

And everyone please make sure to allow plenty of time to get to the pick up spot before 6pm. Walking between hotels can take a lot longer than you think, the sight lines are very deceptive. This is one bus you don't want to miss! [smilie=nod.gif]

I'm staying across the street at the Mirage ;)
(After I settle in, I'll probably head over around 5:30 which should get me there by 5:45 or so...)

Also FYI, it's not that easy to find the bus stop once you get into the Flamingo... I think the best bet is to walk toward the sports book then bear RIGHT until you find the downstairs stairway in front of reservations???

You're right about finding that staircase. I stayed there last year and all I remember is the hotel check in desk is on your right after you walk through the front part of the casino (coming in from the front) and the staircase is just past the desk. The desk is easy to spot; look for the humongous line of people with luggage. But you can ask any employee to point you to the taxi stand and they'll show you where the staircase is. Then right outside and you're there.

Oooh, you have a nice pool, too! I took my son there once just because of that pool and the little *** wouldn't even go down there with me.

I'm not sure where the pick up spot is. From the conversation I gather that it's near/at a taxi stand at the Flamingo near a staircase near the check in?

Yes, it is the Flamingo taxi stand. Have to go inside the hotel, find the check in desk and go downstairs at the staircase next to it, outside directly to taxi stand.

Getting closer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait............ I think we'll most likely get to the flamingo around 5ish, scope out where the taxi stand is, then spend time giving the flamingo some money towards their utilities bill :lol: :lol: Where we are staying is across the street next to Belliago..........

I was hoping to see these threads wake up a little! Can't wait either! Less than 4 weeks is real count down time. The bus has a DVD player. If anyone has a concert DVD they want to bring for the big screen, please do so. I have a couple, need to pull them out to remind myself which ones.

Jockey Club is still next to Bellagio. City Center was actually built around it.

Nothing urgent, I just like to bump this to the top now and then. But as a reminder, there is a big screen and DVD player. Anyone have a favorite JB DVD they'd like to bring?
