This was posted to me privately. I think this sums up our situation.



Let's have our convention at the Flamingo Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip during the weekend of the Las Vegas Celtic Society Highland Games. The 2006 games were on the second weekend of April, but in 2007 the second weekend in April will be Easter, so the games might change date by one week. We will find out the exact date as soon as possible.

We should have a booth at the games to promote the web site. We will need volunteers to man the booth.

We should have a banquet on the Saturday night, and a golf tournament on the Sunday morning. Beyond that, I think it is best to let people come and go as they please.

Here are some reviews of the Flamingo:

The Flamingo is not a great hotel, but for most people it will be fine. Mostly what you use your hotel for in Vegas is sleeping. For a hotel on the Strip, the price is reasonable, and the location is hard to beat.

So, who thinks they will be there?
