:::Rilchiam taps hesitantly on the door:::

Is it too late for Mr. Rilch and I to get in on this?

My parents live in Vegas, so that would be taken care of right off. I didn’t want to speak up before, because we never know very far in advance what our work/finance situation is, but now it’s looking hopeful.

What’s the current exact date? Is it too late to RSVP for the wedding? Do I have to bring anything?

**Rilchiam**  
October 11, 12 and 13  
Only major event I know that is _somewhat_ planned is on Saturday at 7:00pm when me and **Mr. C** are gettin’ hitched.

Diane reserved a block of 10 rooms at New York, New York  
and I have a block of 20 rooms at the MGM Grand.  
Here’s the info:

If you are planning to stay at the New York, New York, you can start making your reservations for one of the 10 rooms I have reserved.

Call 1-800-693-6763 and tell them you are with the Adams Family Reunion with Group Code M10ADAM.

* * *

If you are planning to at the MGM Grand, Grand Tower rooms @ $170 per night Emerald Tower rooms @ $150 per night

To make a reservation please call 1-800-929-1111 and refer to group code WED675

The cutoff date for these rooms is September 11, 2002. On September 12, the rooms Iâ€™ve blocked go back into their inventory and the room rate is subject to change.

That’s all I’ve got.

Count me out. ☹ I have changed jobs, and the new one requires me to work that weekend, so that’s it for any fests in Vegas.

Crap, it would have been a blast, too.

I don’t know about New York but the code for the MGM is good.  
However, I don’t know if you can make reservations on line

Count me out now also. Some of my family very recently planned to get married (not to each other) that weekend and sadly, it’s not in Las Vegas.

May all have an enjoyable time that weekend!

Hey all, there is a new Vegas thread to reference- I’ll see if I can get the mods to close this one so we’re all on the same page, so to speak.  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=132949](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=132949)

See you there and in Vegas! Also, kore- if you come back here, can you post in the new thread when you’re arriving and leaving and where you’re staying? I may be up for rooming for a few nights. Thanks a bunch!
