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 https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.ph...=1#post2598922 - 2008 Vegas / SoCal https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...53676Panoramic Picture by A. Mair)


Date of the Meet: June 19, 20 & 21 2009[/B]

If you would like a great price on a room, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread:" I want to help!
I can get a killer price. Let me know now before we get to full. Summer is a big deal in Vegas and anything with a pool and jacuzzi tends to get packed!!!I work for a all suite hotel. I can get you guys a kick *** rate of $39.00 for a room with a queen bed work desk and kitchenette OR for $59.00 a room with a queen and a sofa sleeper large work desk and kitchenette. Thats a sweet deal cuz the $39 is normally $89.99 and the $59.00 is normally $119.99. There is only one way to get this rate. Through me. Its a clean place and parking is good for your 8's. I know cuz last year no one had any issues and I park my 8 there everyday. If you guys want I can cone off parking up front. Just let me know.
Let me know if you want a room via pm. I will hold however many rooms you guys need under my name with out a credit card! when you show up to check in you will need a credit car or debit card. If you dont show just shoot me a pm and let me know your not coming. No big deal. I'm not going to charge you if you cancel. Other places will.Oh and dress for summer temps in the 100's lol yea its going to be hot
Regards,
-Gilbert
"
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 the caravan from Utah will meet for breakfast and hopefully get on the road by 11am. Contact 04RX8gr or RaleighRX8 for more 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). Directions: Exist I 15 @ Sahara West, travel west on West Sahara for approximately one mile to In & Out 2900 West Sahara *Fuel available within 1/8 mile of In & Out: 7/11 is 1/16 mile east of In & Out, Chevron 1/8 mile west of In & Out also has a car wash, Rebel 1/8 mile west of In & Out.

Prior to the start of the Saturday scenic tour you will need to have a full tank of fuel. The area we are going to has extremely limited fuel access. The total tour is about 130 miles

Friday June 19th @9pm until ?:At 9pm sharp we will be leaving the lot and going to the Cadillac Ranch at town Square for food and drink. Town Square is south of In & Out on Las Vegas Blvd on the west side of the street. It is next to Fry's Electronics. It's one of those trendy narrow street shopping and eating area that have recently become popular. I will try and have a flyer showing directions at the meet on Friday.


Saturday morning June 20th @ 10am till 2pm (aprox): We will again meet at the In & Out parking lot on Sahara for a scenic drive to and around Lake Mead culminating in a no host lunch at the Henderson Fiesta Hotel & Casino. There is a buffet (up stares) and a Denny's 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.

PLEASE NOTE:The economy in Nevada has effected our drive. Part of our run is thru a State Park (Valley of Fire) and when I originally layed out the course you did not have an entrance fee to drive thru the park. Now the State is short of money and they are collecting even to drive thru. The fee is $6.00. AJ, Armin and I have looked at alternative access roads and have come to the conclusion that due to the twistys getting to the park and the actual beauty of the park that we are still going to use this road. Unfortunately this will require a $6.00 outlay per car.I hope that this does not effect anyones enjoyment of the scenic tour

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.

Sunday: Nothing planned but the trip home.

Jeff, I have no idea what your referring to as far as a "skin". I would be happy to post in the most used mode. You are the first person to tell me that I am not using mode or "skin" that can be read.

Phil: there's a way to change the background color aka "skin"
I'm pretty sure most people use the defaulted white color but for those that have a blue background, sometimes it's hard to see certain fonts / colors.

I had assumed for a long time that most people use the dark skin since the default skin is so hard on the eyes.
I am always surprised when I see someone surfing 8-Club with the "white" skin.
I feel like I need to put on sunglasses or something.

I've suggested a few places, but to be honest those places you suggested are mediocre, plus the location/area is... questionable (due to stupid kids on hondas)

I just changed over and am not sure I like the dark screen. I'll leave it on for a few days and give it a try.

What do you want to bet that, given the chance, a bunch of guys in Japan having a car meet would be looking for a burger joint and a beer house?

speaking of getting work done on the car...


For All of you driving in for the weekend, make sure to be ready for the long drive:
- Check Tire pressure before leaving
- Spare tire or ability to fix a flat if the need arises
- Basic Hand tools; 10mm, Phillips head screwdriver, torque wrench, etc
- Do NOT forget your wheel lock keys
- Check your oil level and have extra oil in the car
- Have you changed the oil recently?
- Check / change coolant fluids
