Cool, UB. It's going to be great. The only problem is we have to wait until August.

[RedWing9]

Let's make Chicagoland the most represented...

[Hildy]

Vegas? I'm there.

[RedWing9]

I think I'll have to bring home an 18 to 24 inch memento..........

Now, now. Let's keep the potty talk to ourselves LOL

[Las Vegas Dave]

Darn, I'll be in Vegas in July, missed it be a few weeks.

For tons of information on Vegas, I recommend this Vegas A to Z!

[Senator Pardek]

Ugh - it will be virtually impossible to make it there for me at that time.

Let's have another inaugural ball next Jan. just to rub it in Gore's and Slick's faces.

[MinuteGal]

While pirate battles rage outside, guests find a safe haven inside the Caribbean-style Treasure Island Resort. Treasure Island has a convenient location next door to its sister property, the Mirage.

Ahoy! Mighty pirate sea battles are waged nightly in Buccaneer Bay in front of Treasure Island. Shows are every hour and a half beginning at 4 PM.

It's a great show! Arrive early as it does get crowded.

$188? The cheapest I saw(briefly looked) was $340 from Grand Rapids and $400 from Lansing.

It all depends on my work schedule which is up in the air right now.

Freeping Outstanding!!! 1st Annual FreeRepublic Conference

[CounterCounterCulture]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Freepin' at the Treasure Island Resort...gives us more time to practice our Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs...and Essssssssses as well.

I'll see if I can make it. Last time I was in Vegas was 1997.

[lowbridge]

If anyone needs Las Vegas info on rooms, shows, tours etc. feel free to FReep e-mail me. It's what I do for a living.

You're an Elvis impersonator? ;-)

[diotima]

Southwest, ATA and National Airlines are really good on rates to Vegas.

[Dan from Michigan]

Thanks. Once I find my schedule out, I'll check their flights from Lansing, Flint, and Grand Rapids.

I could drive too, but it's a two day drive. I don't mind long drives, but that's a little far for me.

[sweetliberty]

I propose that the Arkansas Hog Wild FReepers co-sponsor the event as well.

[Happygal]

Sorry...what MONTH, DATE and YEAR?

I'm in Ireland, but plan on being in Canada next month. A trip to Nevada wouldn't be a major deal. But I'd like to know WHEN THE HELL it's on? Or is it only open to the secret handshake society?

[RoseofTexas]

OH FOOY AND DOUBLE DANG!!! We'll be in Las Vagas the second week of June!!! Dang it, we would have LOVED to attend, but we planned this trip 6months ago...BUMMER!

[RoseofTexas]

ooopers! meant VEGAS! LOL...I think I hit the bottle too early tonight...lol!

[diotima]

August 16,17,18 (Friday, Saturday, depart Sunday) 2002.

If you are going to be in North America...you might was well join us. Then we can call it an INTERNATIONAL conference!

[Barnacle]

Thanks for the bump. I just started a new business, so the dice are still rolling for me as for what August will bring.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Ugh - it will be virtually impossible to make it there for me at that time.

Darn the luck. On the upside, we were hoping you'd be there physically, not virtually. So maybe you can swing it.
