Joe, I'll keep you in mind for a reconnaissance mission. :-) We'll definitely check with the Hilton. It would be great, not to have to travel too far from the Convention Center. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,
A friend of mine used to be the executive pastry chef at Spago at Ceasers. I will check with him.

Just checked with him. He is doing a stint at Spago on Maui during christmas and will ask around. He will also be contacting his friends in Vegas and will let me know on Monday if he finds anything.

Chuck, Thank you for the offer. We'll keep all options on the table, so to speak. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Joe,

Maybe we could check with the Chinese restaurant we and Holley's ate at last year; they might have a banquet room. You remember the name?

Dave, Wasn't that P.F. Chang's? One question for those who plan to attend is, "Buffet or one-size-fits-all dinner?" David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,

That's the place! Re type of food, doesn't matter.

Ask the Hilton, Embassy Suites or one of the "suites"-type hotels along Paradise Rd (in front of the Convention Center) towards the airport from The Beach whether we could get a suite (or two) to be used as a hospitality suite for our group. We've done this for Rotary events whereby lots of Rotarians drop by. We set up a bar, and otherwise have things catered. Or we could provide our own buffet based on hors de vors(?) contributed by each of us. A list for these things could be started. Try the Hilton first since many of "us" may be staying there (or not).

Where have you been?

Wow! I haven't been on line due to some health issues and a few other "problems" but logged on today to squeeze a little help from you all when I read about The Beach closing the doors.

Didn't The Beach used to be THE place to go when in Vegas? That's too bad.

Todd and I won't be attending this year and will miss seeing all of you. We were just talking last night about the show. I was wishing we were going as there are a few items I would like to pick up at the show for lesser money. :S

I hope you find someplace just as nice as what we had last year. Have fun you all!

Jo, Good to hear from you again. We'll miss you and Todd next year, in Las Vegas, although the party will be well-documented, giving you a feeling of being there. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Thanks David!

I am sure camera happy people will keep Todd and I in the know, LOL.. Hope you find a good place and have a great time. I'm sorry we are missing out.

Have fun and in March I'll be looking for the pictures.

Ed, In the "hospitality suite" scenario, is that more like people standing/milling around, as they come and go? David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

A room, some food, soda, and we, (all inclusive), are the ones who made the 'Beach Party'. The members can do it anywhere, location really does not matter except for the extra work in getting it set up. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Chuck, How would that format be condusive to the door prize drawings? Seems to me that a private/semi-private room, where all "Beach Partiers" could convene for 2-3 hours would be better. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

quote: How would that format be condusive to the door prize drawings? I would imagine a "Must be present to win format". It really is a lot of fun to mix and mingle like that, but typically, someone is actually staying in the suite/mini suite. It really works great at Rotary functions. I know the Hilton has a gazillion partitions in any of it's conference/convention hall. Perhaps we could use one of those. ARA should have a contact with the hotel that we could talk to. Just a thought. It is still early Monday so I have not heard back from my friend Doug yet. I'll let you know when I do.

We're staying at the Embassy Suites on Paradise again this year. I'll call them Tuesday morning to see if they have anything that would suit us. Cody
