For Friday and/or Saturday, I would suggest people meet between 5-5:30 at the Bellagio buffet in order to pick up your nametag from Maarten (if you haven't met him yet),and eat there or at Caesar's buffet, Cheesecake Factory, Max Brenner's (latter 2 in Forum Shops) or wherever your tummy and wallet lead you. After the show drinks can be at the Seahorse. I'll update if I receive any suggestions, which I gratefully solicit
PS: If you need to get in touch with me once you're in Vegas, pm me and I'll give you my cell #
2 = Thursday December 9: late night drinks
3 = Friday December 10: dinner
4 = Friday December 10: 1st concert
5 = Friday December 10: after show drinks
6 = Saturday December 11: dinner
7 = Saturday December 11: 2nd concert
8 = Saturday December 11: after show drinks[/color]
these are the names i've gotten so far--I will be updating days and times of interests etc soon. If I have made an error, forgive me and then let me know. Suggested places of possible meet ups also in the works.
Info update (includes Maarten's list and his numbering--see above)
grannypoe wrote:I have been searching for a variety of possible meeting venues for eating and drinking--so far I have the following number of people who have specifically stated they want to meet on these dates: 12/9 60 dinner 65 drinks
12/10 66 dinner 88 drinks
12/11 82 dinner 112 drinks
Date corrections!!! Last year--the night before the concert-- we (35 of us) met in a private room at the Caesar's buffet Lago and paid $50 each up front (included Maarten's small pittance for his excellent nametags); the night of the concert people ate in smaller groups on their own. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone but I don't think it will happen in one night. I still am working on a bar that can handle 65-112 weeping LC fans at midnight. Anyway, I have the following possibilities for dinners.
Thursday night--meeting Maarten at a time and place of his choosing to get Nametags (around 7-7:30??) and then individually pay for our dinner at the Lago buffet at Casesar's and/or the buffet at the Bellagio across the street--we wouldn't have a separate room to ourselves but would "table hop," recognizing fellow forum members by nametags or happy-sad faces
Friday night--dinner at one of the following in the Forum Shops at Caesar's: Max Brenner--private room from 40-50; group rates 13-40 dollars plus tax gratuity or or smaller groups
Cheesecake Factory --no reservations; 1st come, 1st served
(these 2 restaurants are close to each other so large groups can meet and split up depending on lines)
or Spago's--smaller groups
or Buffet Lago and/or Bellagio
I would assume an eating time of 5 or 5:30 so that we would have time to freshen up before the show and/or get in early to purchase some goodies
Saturday night could be the same restaurants but go to one you didn't go to before or if you have specific suggestions let me know.
There are a myriad of superior restaurants on the nearby Strip and within Caesar's--you may want to arrange smaller groups after the first night or two and go to one of them.
Anyway, let me know what you would like to do and I will tabulate the numbers for particular places and times.
