Morning everyone. Just bought me a 2005 Shinka 2 days ago, just dropping in to say hi!

I live in the Tri-Cities, so if you're in the area, maybe I will see you around!

WHiV4 is a no charge event for rotary vehicles and their owners. We are trying to make your experience worth the trip and keep the costs reasonable.

NEW DATES FOR THE EVENT: MAY 20, 21 & 22 of 2011
ORLEANS WILL BE THE OFFICIAL RESORT HOTEL THIS YEAR WITH SPECIAL RATES FOR OUR GROUP.
ORLEANS HOTEL & CASINO
4500 WEST TROPICANA
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. 89103
(702) 365-7111
Toll Free 800-675-3267
Friday and Saturday Rates will be: $85.00 per day and weekday rates at $38.00 per day for those who want to come early or stay late. There is also a room tax of 12% and a Resort fee of $5.00 so those that wish to stay/arrive a day early/late will pay $247.96. There are suites and penthouse suites available at this time with a reduced rate. When reserving your room ask for pricing on any upgrade you may desire. Since the room rate is based upon double occupancy, you have your choice of a king size bed or two queen size beds. I would suggest that you visit their site on line to see the amenities offered. http://www.orleanscasino.com/

For those participants whose significant others do not participate in the parties and cruises, there is free shuttle transportation from the Orleans to most spots on the strip. Saturday evening to the Hofbrau House transportation will be provided from the Orleans and back again by the Orleans shuttle service.

RESERVATIONS

Reservations made on line to www.orleanscasino.com/groups must use the reservation ID of ODESCO5 Not using the ID will cause confusion, mischarging or being told that the Hotel is sold out.

Reservations made by phone to (800) 675-3267 must use the group name of "DESERT BOILERS" not using this group name may not get the special rate or be told that the Hotel is sold out

A CREDIT CARD WILL BE NEEDED FOR RESERVATIONS
If you have any questions please feel free to PM them to me, Phil's 8 or by email
RESERVATION CUTOFF DAY IS APRIL 20TH, 2011


AFTER CUTOFF DAY ROOMS ARE ON AN AS AVAILABLE BASIS SO GET YOUR RESERVATION IN EARLY.



Your area heads will be: Utah: Jethro Tull, California: Jedi54, Arizona, Texas & New Mexico: Easy_E1, Wyoming Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada: 13X. every where else contact Phil's 8

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

FRIDAY MAY 20TH

MEET & GREET


from 3pm until 8pm

Meet and Greet in the west parking lot of the Orleans Event Center. You must check in here to be elgible for the Rotary Show and to receive your WHiV4 douments. Swag will be on sale at the table as will raffle tickets. Cut off for the Rotary Show entry will be 7pm
(area subject to change due to event center booking).



ROTARY SHOW



starts at 4pm until 7:30pm

Event area subject to change due to rental of the Orleans Event Center




This year a rotary show will be held in the parking area adjacent to the Meet & Greet. There will be several categories depending upon the cars registered prior to the event. Repus, old school, 7s and 8s will be judged separately. 7s may be broken up into first, second and third gen vehicles if preregistration shows a sufficient number. All rotary cars will be eligible for trophies. Cut off for the judging will be 7:30pm


PARTY AT THE ORLEANS

Starts at 8pm until 12 midnight

The party will be in the Presidential Penthouse Suite and will be BYOB on libations with chips and dips supplied by WHiV4. The Orleans has a liquor store on site for any libation you could desire. Please be advised that you will be required to wear the ID that was issued at the Meet & Greet area



SATURDAY MAY 21


ANNUAL CRUISE


(location to be named)


NO HOST LUNCH AT THE ORLEANS


buffet


RAFFLE FOR GOODIES


(during & after lunch)


TRADITIONAL GET TOGETHER AT THE HOFFBRAU HOUSE


8pm until 11pm:

A No Host Dinner is served and prices range from $10.00 and up for traditional German faire and the beer flows at all times. A German band plays and the noise, laughing and crying from the group almost drowns out the band. If you remember in years past, parking is a problem at the Hoffbrau House so this year there will be two easy alternative ways offered to get to the Hoffbrau House. A free shuttle service will be offered by the Orleans to and from the location (tip extra). Again this year there will be Limo Service available from the Orleans to the Hoffbrau house and back again. The limo service will be $30.00 per person if paid in advance and $35.00 (tip included) after May 1,2011. There is a limit of 20 persons for the limo service. You can prepay with PayPal www.WhatHappensInVegasMeet.com



SUNDAY MAY 22


SCENIC CRUSE

10am until 12 noon:

We will have a short cruise to Red Rock and it will take less than 30 minutes to get there and there is a paved, 13 mile, one-way scenic drive (open from dawn to dusk), within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area boundaries. There is a fee for using this road of less than $10.00 (should be $7.00 but you know the park service). Very Scenic, very twisty and a good place to say good by to Las Vegas. The end of the loop is within 5 miles of the express way in case you are leaving after the cruise

End of WHiV4...Hope you all had a good time


PARKING

Orleans is providing an area that will be watched very closely in the West Parking Garage. We will be parking in the area where the executives of the Hotel park. It is well patrolled and the cameras do work. Security is planning on having a foot patrol thru the parking area along with random vehicle patrols.



In the coming weeks we may post some additional information on the meet.

Swag IS NOW AVAILABLE............ www.WhatHappensInVegasMeet.com
