The details so far

  • TrishaLynn's parents have a timeshare on the strip that has been offered for our use. Called the Jockey Club, it's near the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Bellagio Dr., right next to the Bellagio.
  • The two-bedroom suite is $110/night on Friday and Saturday and $80/night during the week (Sun-Thurs.) and can sleep up to 6 people (2 queen beds, 1 king bed). The less expensive but more cozy alternative is to take a one-bedroom suite at $80/night on the weekend and $60/night on the weekday. It also sleeps up to 6 people (2 queen beds, 1 queen sleeper sofa).
  • Hotel tax in Las Vegas is currently 9%. The total for one 2-bedroom suite for a Friday and Saturday night stay would be $239.80. The total for one 1-bedroom suite would be $174.40. Divided between 6 people, each person's share would be $39.97 (~$20 per night) and $29.07 respectively (rounded up to the nearest penny). If additional nights are needed, they can be arranged at your own extra cost.
  • Each condo suite comes with the following ameneties: 25" TV, Air Conditioning, Alarm Clock, Cable TV, CD Player, Coffee Maker, Dishwasher, Electric Can Opener, Full Kitchen, Full Size Refrigerator, Garbage Disposal, Hair Dryer, Heating, Ironing Board with Iron, Microwave, Oven, Place Settings, Pots & Pans, Stove, Telephone, Toaster, VCR.
  • We will be able to reserve more than one room at these rates.
  • If guests are arriving on Thursday night, there is a possibility we may be able to get that night for free. If guests are leaving on Monday, there is a possibility we may be able to get Sunday night for free as well.
  • The fesitivies will occur the weekend of September 23. This is the weekend following TrishaLynn's birthday, and all respondents thusfar have indicated late September as acceptable. People can come and go as they please, but for meetup purposes, everyone should plan to spend at least Saturday and Sunday in LV. We will determine at a later date exactly which days the timeshare rooms will be booked for.

Please add your name to the appropriate list below. Since, at the time of this page's publishing, the meetup is still 6 months away, it is assumed that nothing is etched in stone; but the rooms need to be booked no more 60 days in advance and the sooner we have an idea of expected turnout, the better able we will be to plan appropriately. (Also note whether you will be attaining your own accomodations.)
