I was wondering if any Vegas dopers wanted to do a Vegas Holidope sometime in the near future.
I was thinking dinner somewhere and maybe a music joint after.
Any takers?

Can’t make any definite promises as I have a new job with really odd hours, but let me know when and where and will see if I can stop by and say hello…would be good to see you here in Vegas again!
Where are you staying, and what are the tentative dates?
I’m in, provided it’s not New Year’s Eve. The hubby and I are doing our Second Occasional Lord of the New Year’s party, and so I’ll be busy for like … 14 hours that day.
Although, if you’re going to be in town, you’re certainly welcome to stop by for whichever of the three (or all) of the extended LOTR movies. And food.
I will be back in Vegas sometime in August 2007. I have to renew my driving license, and talk to some real estate people. Usually I stay at the Suncoast.
I was thinking something like Thursday December 28th. That way the Christmas madness is over (for those who do XMas) and it shouldn’t interfere with any New Years plans that anyone has going on. Either that or earlier, like the 7th.
Anyone have any suggestions/dates that they cannot do it?
DMark, I live here. Work is the only thing that could interfere.*

*Damned job. I need to be come independantly wealthy.
Duh…I should have remembered that…I blame it on the beer that night…
Oh, and when you become independently wealthy, your best friend DMark will be happy to accompany you to expensive restaurants and shows here in town.
That time frame you mention sounds good - keep posting and let me know what the plans are!
And Paul In Saudi, drop a line, or start a thread, before you come to Las Vegas - I am sure sleestak and other local VegasDopers would love to meet you and hear about life over there…first beer is on me.
Wups, also rule out Saturday the 16th - I forgot that’s our friend’s holiday party.
The 7th or the 28th sound fine to me.
My suggestion would be dinner at Garduno’s at the Palms and then maybe head over to the New York New York which has (or used to have) a couple decent bands that played in bar areas. The 7th would work for me, but I am flexable.
Any thoughts?

Garduno’s at the Palms sounds good. The earliest I can get there would be about 6:00, though, given where I work.
:smack: Crap! I live here, but will gone the 14th through the 2nd. Crap! :smack:
Ummm… Any chance of a little bit later doper-meet? (Preeettyy please?)
Would the 7th work?

I’ll be starting a new job on the 18th of December, so I’ll be kinda up in the air, but if it works out I’m down.
I am going to have to pass on that date.
As mentioned, just started a new job (teaching at a college) and it is getting near the end of the quarter. I have lots of reading and tests and other fun stuff to do. Plus, I am taking a course at UNLV that starts this week - so, I will be sitting by the Christmas tree with a five foot stack of books for the next few weekends.
Keep posting, and if I decide to run screaming from the homework for a few hours, at least I will know in which direction to run.
Bumpity –
So, is it on?
The 7th just happens to be my wedding day. Well, 13 years ago anyway…
If I can convince the hubby, the 7th looks just fine! Even if it’s for just a snack and coffee or something. I’ve lived here 5 years and I know… everyone at the post office. 
Due to the lack of response, is it safe to say that tonight’s Holidope is cancelled?
If so, is the 28th (the other date mentioned upthread) possibly on?
I heard about a small group o’Dopers headed to Vegas the second week in January…
I’ll be there December 28th! If I’m not a reason to get together, I don’t know what is :).
Of course, I’m not 21. So I pretty much can’t do anything cool yet.
