Having had a few run-ins with both the CHP and NHP I can only say that it take a different mind-set to call that your job . You and I can not comprehend what they are thinking when they see a group of like cars in a caravan . I find that the majority of the NHP are understanding guys who's job it is to keep accidents down. As long as you are not holding up traffic or dangerously exceeding the speed limit they will generally leave you alone.

I'm hoping for a few more from Arizona and there are about three or four more locals that may join us. I was expecting to see Atilla's name on the list from Cali.

it's Atilla's b-day that weekend and he doesn't like us enough to hang out with us in Vegas for his 'special day'

what's the weather usually like in late June? Similar to what it was in August last year?

Atilla does not lov us any more.........

We generally expect the first day of over 100 degree days to happen by May 1 and by June it will be close to but not yet hot. The weather in September was a little humid but in June you had better be drinking lots of water (some where between 4 and 6 percent humidity). Evenings and nights will be warm and the temp will not get below 90. It does not get really hot until mid to late July and August.

I'm so Scottish/Irish I can't tan no matter what the weather. I just turn red and then back to white.

Yeah 4 Utah 8's how about it! I can't wait, stoked to meet y'all in person.

Well City Center is still going on. That is a huge development between Bellagio and New York New York.
The complete renovation at Tropicana has been put on hold.
Caesars Palace is completing another new tower
The dropping of Bally has been put on hold and they remain open and busy. The new tower at Bellagio has been put on hold
Fountain Blue (sp) is almost complete and is supposed to open in the summer.
Wynn an Encore are complete and doing a land office business but he put on hold another hotel on the same property.
Treasure Island sold to a really nice guy and he will be doing some changes there later this year (or next)
The Echelon project was stopped in mid stride and Boyd has not yet announced when they will start it up.
The dropping of Circus Circus was put on hold so KOA is safe for a while.
Station Casinos is ready to chapter 11 and Boyd is trying to buy them - this is just trying to get a better loan agreement.
Hooters is ready to declare chapter 11.

The economy has slowed the whole town down, room prices are down but every room is sold. The girls are still here and just waiting on you

All in all it's just another day in paradise (Vegas).

thanks for the update! I knew you were "in the know" so figured I'd go straight to the source. For those who don't know, Phil has Mafia connections to all the hotels / casinos and finances much of their "legal" activities.

Easy: No 'Tilla. He said he's not going because you'll be there and your A/T is bigger (errr... I mean 'faster') then his.

"What Ever Happens In Vegas" Meet
"WHAT EVER HAPPENS IN VEGAS" ANNUAL MEET
Due to popular demand and threats, the Vegas group is having the second annual "What Ever Happens In Vegas" meet. We were requested to have it a little earlier this year and picking a date has been a nightmare. It is open to all Mazda cars but especially the RX8 and attendees will be welcome from Arizona, California , Nevada and Utah.(actually from anywhere you wish to come from) (To see picks from last year go to Post 28 and click on: Vegas / SoCal Meet - 2008 Vegas / SoCal Panoramic Picture by A. Mair)
Date of the Meet: June 19, 20 & 21 2009

If you would like a great price on a room, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread or contact Phil's 8, Jedi54 or Easy E_1. Dominion also points out that the temperature in June will be mildly hot so dress or lack there of, accordingly (especially all female attendees)

Schedule of Events:
Friday June 19th, a caravan from Arizona is being organized by Easy_E1 Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th, a caravan from California is being organized by Jedi. Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th @ 5pm till 9pm: General meet in the parking lot of In & Out on West Sahara about 1 mile west of I15 (normal local meeting spot). At 9pm sharp we will be leaving the lot and going to Dicks at the Excalibur for food and drink. http://tinyurl.com/ar5ycr


Saturday morning June 20th @ 10am till 2pm (aprox): Scenic drive to and around Lake Mead culminating in a no host lunch at the Henderson Fiesta Hotel & Casino. There is a buffet and a café inside for your pleasure. I suggest that you bring a few bottles of water with you as it will be warm and very little humidity. We will again meet at the In & Out parking lot.

Saturday evening June 20th @ 7pm until ??: No host get together at the Hof Brau for good times and some good BS. Last year this was a very popular get together.
