Vegas Summer League

Where can I stay?

I recommend this location:

Best Western McCarran Inn
4970 Paradise Road
Las Vegas , Nevada
89119-1206,United States
Phone: 7027985530
Fax : 7027987627

It's right by the Cox center and close to the strip.  It's also fairly cheap for a hotel by the strip.  I believe Hooters, NY,NY and the Mirage are also on the same street as the Cox center.

When is it?

I will be there on the two days listed above. The idea is to have Dinner with Blazer Edge folks on Friday 7.18.08 at 7pm.

What is the cost?

What about the awesome blazers edge dinner which is the only reason I'm going?

I haven't heard back on places to eat, and so I suggest this:

Let me know what you think!

You can take the monorail from the Best Western hotel.  I plan on eating there one of the nights, so might as well make it friday.

Give me thoughts and feed back about eating at Quarks!  I also plan on doing the rides and if you're all interested maybe we could do that together too.

Tentative time is 7pm, but I'll be looking for feedback as to the place and time.  Most importantly, Dave, does that work with your schedule or does it need to be later?

When is this awesome dinner?

Date:  July18th (FRIDAY) 2008

Time:  TBD

See above.  Still don't know and will be based on availability of people coming into vegas.

Is anyone famous going to be there?

ummm... dave?  He has to be there as I'll be paying for his dinner.  That was my contribution to his trip.

So what information do you need from us?

I'm so glad you asked!!!

1. How many of you are a hankering to go to the dinner?
2. Is Quarks a place that works for you?
3. Is 7pm a good time?
4. Dave, would other press members be able to attend and should the time be revised if that's the case?
5. If Quarks doesn't work, do you have another preference?
6. Are any of you interested in doing the rides as a group before dinner?

To sum it up

That's about all I have.  Please be sure to respond back to me. The last few posts didn't have a lot of feedback apart from a few locals and one or two driving/flying in.
