Just wondering if the hotel has been confirmed and when we can sign up for rooms. Looks like Sept is posted but I don't see anything for Aug.

If the details have been posted can you repost....I couldn't find anything about it when I looked today. Thanks

For the record.

Regarding airfare - yes we will be having what I will refer to as a mini Bash on the weekend of August 17th so if you have airfare aready paid for or reserved you will without a doubt have a Bash to attend. Regarding the hotel, unfortuantely we are still negotiating with a half dozen venues between the two dates (Aug 17th and Sept. 7th weekends) and cannot officially announce which Las Vegas hotel/casino has won our bid for either date.

I will go on record and say that there definitely will be a Bash on both of those weekends with the Aug 17th dates a courtesy extended by Rx.com management to Rxers who already commited themselves to that date because we announced that most likely that would be the original weekeend and for those Rxers who can make it to Las Vegas in August but not in Septemeber.


Xpanda is doing her very best to assure the best venue is made available for both dates and the rest of the Rx.com mangement is commited to making sure both events are going to be great fun for all who attend.

The Rx.com mods are working hard on obtaining generous prizes and contests to make these events are all that much more fun for every Rxer and their guest who attend either event regardless of date.

FYI -- The September Bash will host the poker tournament and college football handicappng championship. Both Bashes will host reception dinners with open bar and great cash and prize giveaways.

While neither date has a firm contract in place with a host Las Vegas hotel/casino we will soon be able to announce venus for both dates and I am certain Xpanda will post an August Bash date sign up thread soon also. Please be a bit more patient and stay tuned.



Thanks, wil..

Yeah I am anxious to see who I will be partying with in August.

This process has gotten agonizing to an extent but either way I am looking forward to it as the dog days are here and need something to look forward too.

Mrs VVV and I are looking forward to the August event as it will not be possible for us to make the September bash. Hoping for the Flamingo as we already have free rooms for Wednesday and Thursday that week.

Hope for confirmation soon. Thanks, Wil and Xpanda, for all you have done for all of us.

Vini, for the record, there is no guarantee we can get the Flamingo for the August dates. This is one of the major problems we have been trying to deal with. However if we do not get the Flamingo for either date we will be at a hotel in that general area of Las Vegas.

patswin: We are waiting on one more quote to come in and then will have an announcement. I'll come back to this thread with another update about mid-afternoon EST tomorrow, once I've had a chance to give them a call.

Cheers!

All I can do is ask everyone to be patient as I know Xpanda is working very hard to make two separate functions work and will post something soon about who will be at the August function.

Luckily for you August posters, I will only be at the September function, so you won't have to put up with me telling people what to do............:smashf:

Bump.

Any news?

Still waiting on that one last quote. I was *told* it will be in my inbox by morning. I've had to ask for quotes that include both functions, and quotes with each function separated out, in case we go with different hotels. This is, I'm sure, slowing the process down a little.

I will be able to announce the August bash destination and reservation instructions as soon as I get the go-ahead from Rick. That hotel is chosen, it's just a matter of Rick formally booking so that our guests can call in their reservation. Expect this announcement tonight or early tomorrow.

Unfortunately I still don't have the September hotel finalised, as I am *still* waiting on that last quote. Doing what I can to get that in.

thanks game.I was a MOD here at one time and..I have helped at many bashes from the very first one many years ago and I know every year is different with different crap going on and and its not always easy to set it up, takes alot of dedication to do it ...to bug the site owners for approval and to bug the hotels for quotes and plan the agenda at the event

....even checking people in for the poker tourney is hair raising at times.... what is amazing is this site gives away this for FREE every year 2 nights in vegas and a poker tourney and a HUGE banquet with great food with open bar !...its amazing , not to mention all the free prizes and setting up sponsors for the prizes..... all for us posters..... :banger:


Game, not sure you have been to a bash but you will have the time of your life when you attend...trust me there
