What Ever Happens In Vegas" 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.

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

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.
Ray, Jeff, Erick and Flashwing from BHR will be attending but will not be available for service just talk!!!!

AAAAHHH! PHIL!
Stop doing that!
If you are gonna keep updating it, at least fix the formatting so everyone can see it!
lol
Again, cleaned-up update for those of us who use an RX-8Club skin that makes the post above illegible and to add some useful information and links (most of which are now "in-line").

If you would like a great price on a room at the Candlewood Suites, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread.
Additionally, the following hotels are offering rooms at rates comparable to the Candlewood (Dominion):
Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel
Royal Vacation Suites
El Cortez Hotel and Casino
And for just a little more, there are rooms at the Las Vegas Hilton available for $70. The Hilton has an excellent garage, easy access, is closer to the In & Out and, well, ITS THE HILTON! Elvis practically lived there.

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'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.

gotta run to autozone in a few so I can change teh oil and coolant. for bleeding the coolant I just take off a coolant hose to the throttle body and wait until it starts to come out after I start the engine?
ross: D.I.Y. Coolant Change
