      So, Yes - Secretly we have been trying to plan a guild trip to Las Vegas for a while.  Due to some people with school/work/living in the fucking outback, we have to really plan ahead.  SO!

      I would like to do it sometime in September of this year, Guild Anniversary is sadly a kinda shittie day.  Vanquish was created on 9/11/06.  SO... my thought was to do this over labor day weekend so paid day off on monday or friday or both for people with jobs! and doesn't interfere with school much for people with that shit going on either.. I don't think.. but w/e.

      More ideas? Post!

      Wanna help kinda plan this out better then me? Post!  Wanna say anything? POST!

      Get involved! Get Drunk! Get to punch that guildie in the face IRL! Get your ass to VEGAS!

      If enough people really commit to going, we can find a place for a "package deal" kinda thing, maybe.

      holiday weekends in vegas are more expensive then other days just keep that in mind.
      but if you get a deal on a lot of rooms, i suggest the luxor its right next to mandalay bay and mgm grand, two of the best dance clubs are there, expense but very nice.

      I'm kinda partial to the Flamingo.  It's not actually one of the nicer hotels, but it's prime location on the strip and generally a bit cheaper than stuff like the bellagio and whatnot.

      While I don't drink, don't gamble on anything except horses, don't dance, etc, sounds like fun.

      you really don't need to plan much at all.  there's very little that goes on in vegas that requires "planning ahead" other than the actual hotel reservations. 

      in any case, i wouldnt mind the october date either.  it would be a little birthday present to myself.
