It's A Big One!

Here is the nest part of my big update cappers!

The following will be added trip information and everything we plan on
doing Thursday & Friday

There have been some changes to the attendance list.
First of all I'm sad to report that two cappers will not be joining us
after all.
Nyssa and Discoboy have bowed out.

Here is an updated list of everyone planning on going(so far)

animebabe(Carmen)
King Dinosaur
Laura Powers
Cyan
Weird1(Daniel)"maybe"
CaptainEvilElvis and Porpoise
TinaW
Unreality(Fred) "maybe"
TurkeyVolumnGuessingMan (Fred)

As far as Thursday is concerned, who ever plans on arriving this day,
needs to let me know
as I need to know who's coming to the welcome dinner and bowling night.
It would be especially nice if our Las Vegas locals could make it.

Friday, after the morning activities and lunch will be the tour of the
outside area of Las Vegas casinos.
This will be the opportunity to explore what all of Las Vegas has to
offer besides casinos.
Anyone can go on their own, or we can plan on groups of the places of interests.
Here is a list of places that will be of interest to see.

Famous Las Vegas Sign
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/dec/08/famous-las-vegas-sign-now-safer-tourists/
Everyone who visits Las Vegas, has their picture taken in front of this sign.
The parking area has been newly renovated to make it safer for tourists.

Red Rock Canyon
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
"Red Rock Canyon is beautiful, great hiking for all levels and a great
place for taking awsome photos. If you do go make sure you stop at
Calico Basin which is just up the road from the Red Rock Canyon Park
entrance. It is open to the public and no fee. You can have a picnic,
climb the rocks or just sit and view the beauty scenery.



Pinball Hall of Fame Museum
http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

4500 square feet is dedicated to the Pinball Hall of Fame, where the
entire family can enjoy non-violent pinball arcade games for small
dinero. All machines are available for play, so not only can you see
them, you can actually play your old favorites.
This is one amazing place for pinball fanatics.

Neon Sign Graveyard
http://www.neonmuseum.org/

This is a perfect place for picture taking.
This is one place I've never been to, and do plan on going to with everyone.
This place NEEDS advance reservations.
Tour prices are $15.00
This tour will more than likely be at 2pm.
In which case our movie screening might be moved around to later time
or Saturday.

One small camera is allowed for picture taking.
Anything else is considered commercial photo taking and will be prohibited

BE ADVISED:
No backpacks, camera bags, large bags, or tripods are allowed on
tours. We recommend that visitors wear close-toed shoes. Boneyard
tours are guided and visitors must remain with the group. The Boneyard
is full of broken glass and rusty metal so we ask that everyone stick
with the group for your safety and the safety of our collection.
Anyone failing to follow guidelines will kindly be asked to leave.

Anyone who wants to attend this, please let me know ASAP.
I will try to find out the earliest they need our tour group info.

Hoover Damn
http://hooverdamtourcompany.com/

This one is pretty self explanatory.
And this is one place where we will most definitely need a rental car/van
The Hoover Dam Visitor Center is open every day of the year except for
Thanksgiving and Christmas. The facility opens at 9:00 AM, and the
first tour departs at 8:35 AM. The last tour departs at 4:10 PM and
the facility closes at 5:00 PM.

Since we won't be able to do both Hoover Damn and Neon Sign Graveyard.
We might move one of these to Saturday.

Palms Casino and Rio Casino
These are two casinos that are off the strip
and about 5mins from The Orleans.
While these are in fact casinos, they would be easier to visit Friday
rather than Saturday.

The Palms Casino

The Rio Hotel & Casino
http://www.riolasvegas.com/casinos/rio/hotel-casino/property-home.shtml


Right now I am looking at Friday night as our Cinematic Titanic and
live capping event night.
This will take place in one of our ballrooms at The Orleans.

It would be nice for the people that are for sure going, to e-mail be
back and let me know what interests you.
Places you for sure want to go to and see.


There is going to be a part three to this update coming soon.
This will be a MASSIVE update
As I will be talking about Saturday's activities, which will be the casinos.
and every single things we can do at each and every casino.
This whole day is dedicated to visiting all of the casinos along the main strip.
This will be an all day event of walking. LOTS of walking.
But it will be well worth it.
Plan on taking lots of money for gambling and shopping.
We will be having lunch and dinner on the strip as well.
