McCarran International Airport (LAS) is the closest. It's just southeast of the Strip and about 5 miles from the workshop location. Many major airlines fly to Las Vegas, so it shouldn't be difficult to book a flight.
There are commercial shuttles that can take you from the airport to your hotel for a small fee. They typically cost $6 per person each way if your hotel is on the Strip. You can catch one of these shuttles just outside of the airport's baggage claim area. These shuttles come and go frequently. You won't need to reserve a shuttle when you're leaving the airport, but you'll need to schedule a reservation for pick-up at your hotel if you want a shuttle to take you back to the airport. There are no free hotel airport shuttles because Clark County prohibits local hotels from operating their own airport shuttles.
Here's the contact info for some of the Las Vegas shuttle services if you want to schedule a pick-up from your hotel to return to the airport (these are open 24 hours/day):
Showtime - (702) 261-6101
Bell Trans - (702) 739-7990
Grayline - (702) 739-5700
You can also find plenty of taxis just outside of the baggage claim area if you'd prefer to take a taxi. You can rent a car at the airport as well if you'd like to have a car during your stay. The workshop location is about 5 miles from McCarran Airport.
Free parking is abundant in Las Vegas. The hotel has a spacious parking structure in back (on the east side of the hotel). The parking structure connects to the hotel by way of a covered bridge. Just be aware that there may be a lot of traffic on the Strip (i.e. Las Vegas Blvd), especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
Here's a map of the Flamingo's location on the Strip. There's a link on that page to get driving directions.
The Flamingo's address is:
3555 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, NV 89109
Go to www.flamingolasvegas.com to make a room reservation online, or call 888-902-9929 to reserve your room by phone. You don't need to tell them you're with our group since there's no special discount for doing so. If you're calling from outside the USA, you can use the phone number 702-733-3111 and ask for reservations.
There are many hotels within easy walking distance, including Imperial Palace, Harrah's, Caesar's Palace, the Mirage, the Bellagio, Bill's, Bally's, and Paris. The Flamingo is about average for hotels in Las Vegas in terms of accommodations. The rooms are decent and reasonably priced, but you may want to go more or less expensive depending on your personal preferences. If you want to save some money, you could stay at the Imperial Palace, which is adjacent to the Flamingo; both hotels are owned by Harrah's Entertainment. If you want to go ritzier, consider Caesar's Palace or the Bellagio.
Here's a nice map showing all the major hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. The Flamingo is on the east side of the Strip, just north of Flamingo Blvd. This map is a little dated though, so the Aladdin has since been rebranded as Planet Hollywood, the Barbary Coast is now Bill's, and the Frontier, Stardust, and Boardwalk hotels have been demolished.
From inside the Flamingo Hotel, go to the second floor of the conference center where the meeting rooms are located. You can get there via an elevator or escalator from the shops area in the back of the casino. We'll be meeting in the Savoy room. Feel free to ask any hotel employee for directions to the conference center, and they'll be happy to help you.
Steve will be conducting the entire workshop. Others may help facilitate some parts of it, but this isn't a multi-speaker seminar.
There are dozens of restaurants within walking distance of the workshop room, so you should be able to find something to fit any diet. The buffets are usually a good choice because there's so much variety to choose from. The Flamingo Hotel has one of the better buffets in town. The Bellagio (a short walk across the Strip) also has a very good buffet. Finding food to suit your diet shouldn't be a problem.
If you want to locate vegetarian or vegan restaurants in the city, consult HappyCow.net. Las Vegas has two raw food restaurants; the closest one is about 20 minutes away by car. We can also recommend Red Velvet Cafe, which has many vegan items and some amazing vegan deserts (cakes, cupcakes, cookies). Red Velvet Cafe is about 25 minutes from our hotel by car. At the first Conscious Growth Workshop, 30+ attendees had dinner at Red Velvet Cafe one night and practically took over the entire restaurant. It should not be difficult to hook up with other attendees wanting to eat vegan and/or raw meals together.
Your registration is non-refundable, so there are no refunds or exchanges on tickets once purchased.
No, this workshop is designed to be experienced as a whole, not in parts. Later material builds upon earlier material. If you expect to miss some of it, it's probably not a good idea to attend. Please plan to be there for all three days.
It's a possibility but probably not. The first Conscious Growth Workshop was recorded in its entirety. If this workshop is recorded, the recordings may be used for a variety of purposes, including posting clips online and/or creating new products.
No, you don't have to read Steve's book or anything from his blog before you attend the workshop. You may have a different perspective on the workshop material if you've read the book first, but this is totally optional.
If you want to see a show while you're in town, here are some suggestions. If you like variety, the Blue Man Group at the Venetian is a lot of fun. If magic is your thing, Lance Burton's magic show at the Monte Carlo is awesome. Mystere at Treasure Island is a good choice if you like Cirque du Soleil. If you enjoy stand-up comedy, Vinnie Favorito at Oshea's is a blast, and Rita Rudner at Harrah's is great if you like neurotic comedy. It's hard to go wrong since there are so many incredible shows in town. You can usually make show reservations the same day if you want, so feel free to pick one spontaneously while you're in town. Just be aware that a show could sell out if you wait till the last minute.
If you like freebies, check out the free Siren show (singing and dancing on pirate ships) in front of Treasure Island. Some people also enjoy watching the fountain show in front of the Bellagio or the erupting volcano in front of the Mirage. At the registration desk at many hotels in town, you can request a "fun book" or "coupon book." This will get you a bunch of discount coupons for things like drinks and food. Sometimes people hand these out on the street as well.
If you enjoy shopping, the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace is a large indoor mall across the street. If you have kids, be sure to take them to FAO Schwartz (inside the Forum Shops). Going north up the Strip, the Venetian has a large indoor mall and food court, and the Fashion Show Mall is a little further north. Going south down the Strip, Planet Hollywood has a ton of indoor shops ringing the casino (south down the Strip). While the casinos and many of the restaurants are open 24 hours, the shops maintain typical mall hours.
If you want to try your hand at gambling, most major casinos offer free lessons on how to play their games. Just ask any pit boss if they have free lessons and when/where. Of course there's a house edge on every game, so if you do choose to gamble, treat it as an entertainment expense, and don't risk your rent money. Good choices for making your money last are blackjack (if you know how to play basic strategy well) and craps (if you bet the pass line and take the odds bet). Roulette and the big six wheel are generally the worst in terms of the house edge. The house edge on roulette is 5.26%, meaning that on average you can expect to lose $5.26 out of every hundred dollars you wager. Gimmicky non-standard games usually have really bad odds too. Just be aware that swings are common, so your short-term results may not align with the long-term probabilities.
Casinos offer free drinks to gamblers (including alcoholic drinks, coffee, tea, soda, juice, water, etc). You can get free drinks even if you're just playing slots. A cocktail waitress will come by periodically to take your drink order and will deliver your drink to you. They do work on tips, so tipping 50 cents or a dollar is nice but not required. You can tip casino employees with casino chips or cash.
You must be 21 or older to drink alcohol or gamble in Las Vegas. If you look like you're in your 20s, expect to be carded and show your ID to any casino employee who asks for it.
At some point during your stay, you may be approached by someone wearing a dark suit who asks you a question like, "Hi, how long are you in town for?" or "Would you like some free show tickets (or a free hotel stay)?" These offers are legit, but the catch is that you'll have to sit through a presentation for buying timeshare properties that takes a few hours if you want the freebie they're offering. You'll see these salespeople in many high-traffic areas. They typically target well-dressed couples, so they probably won't approach you if you walk past them by yourself.
Contrary to some people's beliefs, prostitution is illegal in Clark County, so even if you think you need the money, please don't get caught turning tricks while you're in town. We'll be sure to talk about other ways to enjoy financial abundance during the workshop. ;)
Not at this time. We're sticking with Las Vegas for now. We actually use the city itself as part of the workshop for fieldwork assignments.
Nope.
No, not at this time.
