Ledgie Parties in LV (is it too soon?)

desertangel · #1 04-06-2005, 02:48 AM

Guess I'm just a little too excited, but is it too soon to ask about pre-show gatherings? I know people are going on various nights and coming and going at different times.

My daughter and I are going the first night but we're arriving early the day before and leaving late on the 11th. Just curious... I'm already planning our activities and it's more than a month away!

I would love to meet some Ledgies and I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it too. She's a big internet-head... jes like her mom.

Where are you staying? I know there are a bunch of us staying at the Flamingo. My group is arriving the ninth but late in the evening. We probably won't even get to the hotel until 11.00pm or so. I will probably be tired from the travel and time change but amped at the thought of seeing Stevie and meeting everyone. I cannot believe it is now a month away. I am soooo glad I was talked into going. I would hate to miss something like this...especially the first show.

Count us in at the Flamingo. Theresa & I arrive on Tues 5/10 around 3:30, we should be at the hotel between 4 & 4:30pm. We leave late afternoon Thursday 5/12. I'm up to meet out whenever, wherever.

I think we're staying at the Flamingo also. We'll be getting there Tuesday morning around 10 and then leaving late afternoon Thursday.

MITCH: "Didn't you stay at a hotel called the Flamingo?"

BLANCHE: "No! Tarantula was the name of it! I stayed at a hotel called the Tarantula Arms!"

MITCH: "Oh, Tarantula Arms, eh?"

BLANCHE: "Yes! A big spider . . . that's where I brought my victims!"

I will be there at the same times. Cept I'm not sure if I'm leaving Thurs or not. And I'll probably be at the hotel around 1-2.

We're staying at the Luxor. I'll prolly leave the house around 4am Monday, our flight is 8:30am and we have a two and a half drive to the airport. Our first night might be an early one too.

In the event anyone who's in town Monday night and too amped to sleep, here's a karaoke place and a list of all the places in town that have karaoke.

Barbary Coast Casino 3595 S. Las Vegas Blvd. 737-7111 Darrel/Joe “The Hat” M T L+D 8-1:30

Otherwise, we should plan to all meet for an early dinner Tuesday before the show at the Hard Rock. How does that sound?!

No way Theresa & I could make the Hard Rock. Much too far away from the venue, and we don't arrive until 3:30 on Tues.

uh....me, too, then. (Is it really far?)
we should go somewhere after. People said they might be tired, but right after the show? won't everyone be all excited? And hungry?

It's off the Strip. Anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes in a cab depending on how quickly they drive/traffic/etc. I'm a nervous nelly when it comes to being on time, so I'd rather go somewhere closer if we meet before the show.

And we are so going out after the shows no matter what!

Just a suggestion, doesn't matter what day/time/etc. But Chinois is a really good Asian restaurant right in Caesar's (in the Forum Shops.) It's a Wolfgang Puck place - very good food & not too pricey. Extraordinary sushi, as well as other Japanese food. They also have Chinese food for the less adventurous.

Ah! I like that food, (japanese, not so much chinese) but people may want more regular food after. But i'm sure there's all kinds of places to eat, right close.

I thought Vegas was the land of cheap buffets?

Chinois is okay for the sushi, but we'd prefer to eat at the great little Vietnamese restaurant a block away. We will all meet there after the show. I'll be staying in Room 1209 at Caesar's & will have an open-room/house for Stevie fans that afternoon & the following day. Everyone drop by for some guacamole & a hi-ball!
