I'll come pick you up and drive you around for a little (5 min.) bit. Will that get me the free detail?

I'm unsure at the moment. I came into a little cash so I might be able to support bringing my car. Depends on how much Ray wants me to show off the exhaust sound of our midpipe .

All comes down to cash on hand. Otherwise I'll be rolling with Jeff. I'll know by tomorrow.

Parking is definitely a lot better than at Hof Brau Hous.

That does not supprise me - Dicks will not even answer the phone. Do they have good food with the drinks? At least there are large parking garages. I'll do a flyer up to pass out at the Friday night meet and change the posting.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LAST MINUTE CHANGE TO THE FRIDAY EVENING WATERING HOLE.
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.php?t=153676Panoramic 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[/COLOR] 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 *Fue 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.

there's a couple of self car washes off the strip. I'll google them once I get to Vegas.
(unless one of the Vegas locals wants to help us out and find one that's close to In-N-Out)

There's a great car wash in North Las Vegas on your way into town. It's on Craig Ave which is a major exit off of 15 and about 3 - 4 miles west. It's called Fabulous Freddy's, I will getting my car washed there before the meet as well. The meet is about 10- 15 min from there.

So when we check in at the Candlewood Suites, do we just tell them that Gilbert was holding a room for us?
