Won't need a place to stay though as I will stay with friends.

I'm probubly in, just can't plan that far ahead right now

As far as a nice inexpensive hotel, The Tuscany is a winner. All rooms are like suites and its a garden style hotel 3 story buildings with the parking lot right outside, so you can park your own car and not have to walk a mile to get to your room.

I have stayed there a few times for trade shows

Can we get an hour set aside for a climate-change discussion?

No, I gave that time-slot to discussion of the "The Magic Hour". It is a required reading for the meet.

I'll be staying at the tent sites at Boulder beach campground. I'm gonna split cost with an immigrant family and save $5 nite. Being that it's June, and the campground closed their showers last year, I might be kind of 'fragrant' by Sat afternoon. Maybe someone will kick in a card key(if they stand close to me), from one of their suites on the strip. If not, one of you can grab me one of those little bars in the bath and I'll just use the lake. Vegas baby.....

This Vegas thing appears to have quickly devolved from a Porsche enthusiast event into a booze drenched, stripper chasing weekend of debauchery. It's always nice to have something to look forward to. Perhaps a practice run prior to June is in order. You know, just to make sure we get it right.

"Devolved? It never started as anything else..."

Silly me. I'm a little slow on the uptake. I also have a conveniently poor memory, which will serve me well on the follow-up interrogation when I return home.

Back to the front. Spread this out to 997/991 and friends. I will try to bring a few non-Porsche guys with me, so we have some quick cars

Wishing everyone a great New Year, celebrate drunk and safe my friends!

Proposed flyer design for my man B3 to see if he can take it to the next level.

Put me down for a tentative maybe it is potentially conceivable that I perhaps might perchance possibly attend.

The 914 group is having our annual West Coast Rally up to Mammoth Lakes June 1 through 4. That means I need to make it back from Mammoth, then prep and head out to Vegas only a few days later.

Somewhere amongst that time, I need to actually work. Unlike DT, I didn't find an ambulance to chase that had cash billowing out of the back doors.

I'll work up some T-shirt designs.

Kalash, the Karting sounds like a great idea. Prolly much easier to coordinate than a real track event.

Of course, we can do Exotics Racing, but I've already done that there. Gets a bit spendy, and not really a great group activity. Plenty of fun, though.
.
As to hotel... definitely not Circus Circus, even though plenty of clowns will be in attendance. Parking reeks at lots of the Strip hotels, but I do like the Strip. As mentioned above, North Las Vegas has really stepped up the game. I'd vote for something up there by Fremont Street. Golden Nugget is a good choice. Blocks and blocks of sidewalk boozatoriums like this:








Golden Goose may work its way into the itinerary, and no need to drive back to a hotel... just stagger away in the approximate general direction.




Even some stuff Slakker might enjoy.
