Hey Harvey!
I didn't marry Dee - but I can see why you did :-)

Harvey, you DO know that Dee is the only reason you have any friends right? ( insert gregarious laugh here)....
Seriously Havey and Dee, it was great to meet you both, and I look forward to a growing friendship.

Chuck: It was great meeting you, as well. Only wish we could have talked further.
Your idea about blocking several rooms adjacent to each other at the Hilton if the price is right is a good one. Assuming this could be accomplished, we could do what we do at Rotary district conferences, etc. Each night of ARA, "someone" could convert their room into a "hospitality suite" with "horsdevours" (?) and BYOB. To handle traffic, maybe 2-3 rooms at the same time, so that people could roam.
I'm not sure of the logistics or "permissions" needed, but this would certainly get us around the Quark's issues.

Nick,
I'm 51, as of Dec. last year. While in Vegas, I didn't spend one nickle on gambling and only had three (alcoholic) drinks, the entire time.
I didn't have much time, or desire, for either.
Just being around the people of this forum, and the industry in general, was all the entertainment and intoxication I needed :-)
Hope to see you there next year.

Ed,
I think "hopsitality suites" is an excellent idea. That way we could have a different host each night, greater fellowship and greater networking, plus and probably most importantly, greater friendships.
As for the logistics of it, I think if we approached the Hilton as a "group" we might be able to work around that, however, the Hilton, while most convenient in my opinion is not the only game in town. Hell, it's all a gamble... (Insert laugh here).....

The regular rooms aren't really big enough for more than maybe 8-10 people to crowd into a room. If we all pitch in 10 or 20 dollars, we could upgrade Dave to a suite and we could meet there. Although, my first choice would be to move the gathering to the Sports Book so we could watch basketball while talking shop.
