Just found out about another fun thing to do while in Vegas;

Quote:

For example, Ethel M. Chocolates in Las Vegas offers a free factory tour with free chocolate samples at the end.

Thanks Steve, for the tip!

Orionjoel · 10-17-2010, 06:52 PM

Count me in for sure if there are free samples. Either way, sounds good.

mariamachon · 10-17-2010, 09:36 PM

Hi!
I am starting to get really excited about the Vegas trip!

Arrival: Wednesday evening
Leaving: Friday the 5th, early in the morning

Anyone staying that long?

Regarding Thursday: I understood that there is already a meet-up scheduled for 18:30 at Caesar's, right? Maybe someone wants to meet earlier already to stroll around?

I would like to join the hiking group. I don't know if there is room for me in the car, otherwise we could start another group and rent another car?

I am interested in every kind of social activity, exploring the city and surroundings, connecting with all of you and having fun. The music idea sounds really good! I was considering taking my flute, which I haven't played for more than a year now, to use it somehow in the power exercises. This sounds like a good suggestion!

OliNorwell · 10-17-2010, 11:44 PM

I'm arriving on Wednesday night. I'll be at the MGM Grand for that night only, I'm definitely up for meeting up with people to explore the casinos etc.

As for Thursday, if anyone fancies exploring the strip and grabbing lunch together then I'm up for that too. I'll be wandering around anyway, definitely interested in meeting some new people pre-workshop.

Alexander E · 10-18-2010, 05:56 AM

Is anyone going to night clubs on Sunday night? "What happens in Vegas stay in Vegas" style?

Guy who's going hiking on Monday, what time in the morning? If it's around 9am then I'm down for that.

ninavision · 10-18-2010, 10:50 AM

I'm arriving Tuesday morning and leaving Wednesday morning (the 3rd), and I'm coming alone, so I'll be glad to have someone to explore the strip with!

Great! I What about meeting Thursday at noon in the entrance of the flamingo? Never been there, so I've no idea if that is a good point to meet...

Ninavision: would you also join?

On Wednesday I will probably be too tired after flying over from Europe...

I'm in! I have an AT&T phone, maybe we should exchange numbers so that we'll be able to contact each other if there are any changes..

I just found out that my mobile is supposed to work in the US too.

The number: 0049 177 672 20 39 (now I have to find out how much I pay for each sms...)

By the way, I just wondered if it would be worth it to buy a cheap card for my mobile. Is there something, where you only pay what you use?

Bing Wu · 10-18-2010, 04:26 PM

Get an ATT gophone SIM card, it will save you loads of money an it's only $2/day for unlimited talk and text.

Yeah definitely, sounds like a great plan. I've never been there either but I'm sure it would be fine as a meeting point.

Yeah definitely, count me in! I might even bring some decent shoes if some people want to make a proper night of it and go to some classy places.

ninavision · 10-18-2010, 09:43 PM

Great, I'll PM you guys with my American phone number. By the way you're welcome to add me on Facebook (Nina Sodin) so that we'll recognize each other

Does anyone know if there's an AT&T on the strip or at the airport? I have a phone, but I'll have to charge it with some money...

Great! Are you wearing a costume?

I havent decided yet who am I gonna be

Orionjoel · 10-19-2010, 07:17 AM

Sounds Great, Nina, have added you on Facebook, I will be in for the meet at Flamingo on Thursday at noon. Afterwards will this link into the Thursday evening diiner thingy?

Yeap! That is at least my idea.

OliNorwell · 10-19-2010, 09:42 PM

Yeah sound like a good idea to me. Looking forward to meeting you all!

About 20 of us start a pillow fight on some corner. We could even go out in our jammies.

I LOVE this idea! So creative and fun. Only in Vegas could such a thing be looked upon with complete amusement and enjoyment by passers-by!

Try something like this in New York and we'd get arrested, in San Francisco it would have to be in slow motion in The Haight, and in the midwest, well, let's just say it wouldn't be as enthusiastically accepted as in Las Vegas. ;0

Yeah definitely. I also haven't decided. I'll probably checkout that costume place once I get there!

ssandra · 10-21-2010, 08:03 PM

Anybody any idea how much renting a costume would be?

Financial situation doesn't allow me to splurge on this holiday, but it would be definitely pushing the boundaries if I did manage to talk myself into a costume...

90802 · 10-22-2010, 12:49 AM

Hey kids, I need some ideas for my costume (if I do one)

Ok, it's complicated. My idea is completely made up. Sooo, here we go.

I want to be a saint. The Patron Saint of Partial Nudity

I've heard a few ideas...

1. Some kind of flesh colored suit (for me that'd be super pale white). Then, like, print a blurry cutout (or black bars) to cover the naughty bits(if I were wearing nothing of course).
2. A hat...not sure what kind of hat, but a hat. Maybe a sword? What do Saints do?

Oh, looks like we have one in for the pillow fight, anyone else in?

Oh oh, and who wants to dance? There must be dancing.

PS-Add me to the group that wants to hang out Thursday afternoon.

PPS- I guess I'm going to make it after all

Orionjoel · 10-22-2010, 05:58 AM

Random bit of dancing on a street corner and I am in for sure, as long as you dont expect anything to flashy, and as long as it is latin dance i will be fine...lol

I am sure I did see something like you were looking for in the ways of a suit, however cannot for the life of me remember what it was called or find it on google. It was full body suits, made from lycra or something similar and they had them in all different colours.

Also any other Shenenigans such as pillow fights, ect, I volenteer to be the group Photographer...on the days around CGW let me know and i will come and take a photo... =)

Gris108 · 10-22-2010, 08:48 PM

Hey everyone!

It will be great to be sitting in the same room with you all at this time next week! Me and a fellow Zonie (thats what we call people from Arizona) shall be arriving in Las Vegas on Thursday evening just in time for dinner!

Looking forward to meeting you all!!

Erin Pavlina · 10-23-2010, 01:59 AM

i bought a cloak today for 20 bucks. you could prolly do something with something like that.

la9arza · 10-23-2010, 06:29 PM

Very excited to meet many of you wonderful people!

Leaving Tuesday at 1pm so I have all Monday to play and open to ideas. Well, considering Sunday will probably be a *late* night, let's say Monday after 10am to play.

Blessings,
Lisa

Orionjoel · 10-25-2010, 03:48 AM

Good to hear Lisa, still not sure What I am up to Monday, but I agree about the late night. When do you arrive in Vegas?

ssandra · 10-25-2010, 02:01 PM

Well... the madness has truly started... 2 dreams last night about getting to the CGW.

First one was that I missed my train because I forgot my luggage and the person getting me my ticket was incredibly slow and preferred to talk on the phone instead of helping me... Cool thing was that in my dream I met 2 other persons who were going. One was Daan (from this forum) and the other I cannot remember the name, but he spoke very soft and was very shy.

Second dream I was living in the same building as Hapafreak, and we were almost on our way, she just had to get some things out of her room. There was a third person, someone not from this forum, and she was driving us in a very flashy silver car, but first we were going to have some nice smoothies with yogurt!

Dukie · 10-25-2010, 03:04 PM

Awesome! So seeing me will be like a dream come true

yes it would be...

mariamachon · 10-25-2010, 07:52 PM

I also need a costume! I was thinking maybe to visit some shop (like the one Erin proposed) on Thursday at some point between 12 and 18 h, between the two meet ups.
