Yup, it's the weekend of Fathers Day every year........Reasoning is that it's the normal time of vacations, finals are finnished (most schools), the weather is great in Vegas and it's time for a PARTY!!!

I'm a for sure. Depends on who's still going when the time comes (cough... Shaun and Mike.. cough), but my preference is to meet the SoCalers in Barstow on Friday morning.

To those of you that have not attended a Las Vegas meet, The over view will be:

Friday June 18th, 6pm - 8pm a general meet at the In & Out burger parking lot on West Sahara for introductions, freebies and offerings.If freebies are available, they will only be available as one to each car registered on this forum posting.

Friday evening party: When we leave the In & Out burger, we will caravan to "Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix (outdoor track) where we can ride the carts by the hour ($18.00 per hour) and a no host bar at Chili's restaurant bar.

Saturday June 19th at 10am we will meet at the In & Out Burger parking lot on West Sahara for a drive in the Las Vegas area. The drive is about two and one half hours in length, will cover 125 miles and will end at a local Hotel for lunch. There will be a several hour break for rest, recreation and sight seeing. The party group (all that wish to attend) will meet at the Hoffbrahause for beer, food and friendship from 7pm until ?

This years drive will be close in to Las Vegas and will be on all paved roads (unless the state or county do their thing again this year), some narrow roads and some twisty roads and some freeway. There will be vehicles within the group to offer assistance if you are in need.

The weather will again this year be very warm but not blazing hot (yet). Be sure you carry drinking water, a hat, vehicle water and oil. All places that we get together will be at places that have food so those that are still under drinking age will be welcome.

Page one post one, this is the primary list for the event, others maybe only copies and not be properly updated.

"Whatever Happens in Vegas" Meet"
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to a change in management at the Candlewood Suites Hotel, any room deals are now off. Sorry for this inconvenience but stuff happens.Currently we are looking for another Hotel that will put up rooms for a reduced Rate. We should be able to find something.

NOTICE: If you are listed on the attendees list, please post if you will have a passenger for the event or if two of the listed attendees intend to drive together (name would be nice but not mandatory). We are now up to the high 50s in attendees and would like to figure the actual count of vehicles and peeps. If for any reason you do not sure of having a passenger, that's OK just let me know that it's a MAYBE.

thanks guys

The origin of the expression go pound sand is from a longer expression, not to know (have enough sense to) pound sand down a rathole. Filling rat holes with sand is menial work, and telling someone to pound sand down a hole is like telling them to go fly a kite.

^Grats Mike.. that's awesome! Wow, you really passed me by! And I'm SO glad you're going with us!!!



Phil... when I said me and Michele have reservations, it means that me and UrbanOcho/Michele from SoCal are rooming together. I'm driving down solo so far. I may have a passenger when I get there tho.. no need to add extra headcount though - you already have this person on the list.

(sneaks into NW subforum)

yup, driving back on Sunday is perfectly fine since there are no events officially planned for that day. Some of us will have brunch before leaving town or do some shopping but it's kind of a free-for-all day.
